there was this guy i met who was also doing a cargo run when i was loading boxes and we both shared experiences of fatal cargo farming tales. then he wished me luck and after like fifteen minutes of loading i was finally ready to go.
i was doing fine but for whatever reason my compass was not visible so i had to use my intuition to figure out how to get from frostmill to ravenna and i was doing pretty well until i realized that i was going SLIGHTLY more southwest than i should have and ended up in treacherous waters near the dark sea.
luckily i was able to turn around, and i cured my boat as much as i felt necessary but there was a pirate ship directly in front of me, so i had to redirect a bit. i couldnt remember what island was ahead and it was ‘???’ on my map cuz im lvl 41 but i decided to go around the opposite direction of the fortified caravel toward the island.
when i got there…the island in question happened to be FORT TALOS. i hoped to god that my neutral reputation would prevent them from FUCKING SHOOTING CANNONS AT ME but after 5 seconds of being in front of the island when i was just about to let out a sigh of relief…my caravel was destroyed in less than thirty seconds.
i decided to let myself drown with the boat in sorrow and disbelief but then proceeded to get mutilated by two fucking sharks that came out of nowhere.
i was left with 6 galleons.
i dont know what to do anymore this is like the fourth time in a row ive had an unsuccessful cargo run. either im destined for riches after all this bad luck or im cursed by something.
so there goes another 5000 galleons
