This quest is very simple and nets you a good Quest officer by the name of Humphrey Douglas. Good for starting captains.
- First, head to Port of Spain in Trinidad and Tobago, then fast travel to the Port Controller and exit it. The house directly in front of you will be John Morris's Residence, and if you turn to your left, you will see a brick house at some distance in front of you that has stairs at its side. Walk up those stairs and enter the room.
- Talk to the man inside, and you'll learn he used to be a musketeer, but retired because he had his rare carbine stolen by pirates. You'll get a hint about some "Arrow".
- Now sail to Bermuda, enter the residence, and speak to Jackmann about finding this "Arrow". You'll learn that this corsair is always out at sea and thus will be difficult to find.
- Enter back into the World Map and you'll eventually come across a ship with colored sails. Engage it - it's the "Arrow".
- Now you want to board him and not sink him, then kill the bastard and loot his body and the containers. You should find the musket. Give it to the musketeer in Port of Spain and he will join you as a fighting officer.
BUGS:
- For GOF mod users, this bug is present. NEVER give him any weapon (swords or guns) other than his musket ! If you do he will disappear from your officer slot and you will lose him forever. Reload an earlier save to fix this. You can give him any other stuff including trinkets and healing items. You can even give him cuirass and he can wear it if he acquires the "Cuirass" perk later. This bug is not present in the vanilla version of the game.
- For GOF mod users, this bug is present. NEVER LET HIM DIE. If he does, his "fisticuffs" will disappear from his inventory. Then he will be bugged forever and won't shoot enemies in combat. Instead he will run away from them and stand at a safe distance, effectively making him useless. Even if you resurrect him with Jade Skull without his "fisticuffs" he's as good as dead. Reload an earlier save if he dies.
