Nantucket – Tracker Achievement Guide
Tracker
Track back 10 lost ships
Another self-explanatory achievement: you’ll just need to complete ten tracking jobs, which are listed as Unveil the X’s destiny in the newspaper.
Once you accept a tracking job, a dotted line between the city where the ship departed and the city where it was headed will appear and you’ll find it somewhere in that route. As soon as you find it, one of two things will happen:
1. The ship will be under attack. In this case, you can either defend it, which will trigger a war canoe, pirate, shark, or whale encounter, or use your special hunting skill in order to try to fend off the enemies attacking the ship, but do note that if you fail at that the lost ship’s crew will be massacred.
2. The ship will already be deserted and you’ll be able to either board the ship in order to look for money or barrels, but in that case, you’ll always run a 10% risk to lose a crew member, or look for survivors around the missing ship’s area.
Also, there will always be a third option, fleeing the area, but I don’t recommend picking it because your captain’s prestige will be reduced in 1.
New jobs appear every month in the newspapers of Nantucket, Horta, Peterhead and Honolulu, so visit said cities on a monthly basis until you’ve accepted and completed enough tracking jobs to earn the achievement.
