Arr, so the Golden Gate be barred to ye, is it? That cursed message about "not enough knowledge of the age" has turned back many a fine ship. Fear not, matey. 'Tis not a wall of mist, but a simple lock—and I have the key. San Francisco is a treasure worth the hunt, mark my words.
What Ye Need to Set Foot Ashore
To even think of claiming this port, ye must first prove yer mettle. Gather these:
- The East Asia Port Permit and the West Coast of North America Port Permit. Chart those waters first, or ye go nowhere.
- A name for yerself. Some say 10,000 Adventurer Fame is needed, though whispers in the taverns claim this requirement has been scuttled.
- The heart of it all: complete the quest "Searching Further for a New World" from the Adventure Guild in Marseille. This is yer true ticket.
Worry not about fancy age titles or foreign tongues for this one. The path is clear for those with the right papers.
The Prize That Awaits
Why brave the long voyage and the guild's questions? Because San Francisco is a crown jewel, me hearties!
- A Trade Route to East Asia: One of the most lucrative sails in all the oceans begins here. Fill yer hold with fortune.
- Gold in Them Thar Hills: Mine the coast and bring the raw ore to port to be appraised. Trade that gleaming gold for powerful gear, like a Large Storm Sail.
- Guildmaster's Favor: Rumor has it the port's GMs grant fine rewards to seasoned captains—extra recipe slots for traders, more room in yer adventurer's bag, or another forte slot for the fighters among ye.
- Nanban Goods & Coal: On the right day, buy exotic Eastern goods directly. And it's one of the few harbors outside Europe where ye can stock coal fuel for yer steam ship!
- A Scholar's Haven: The collective guild here is perfect for changing jobs to favor nanban trade skills, making those long voyages far smoother.
If ye hunger for the full chart—every whispered tip on finding Justine and the precise course to plot—then make way to the complete log. I'll show ye how to seize this port proper and claim its riches for yer own.
