Thanks to...
This guide was made thanks to players like you.
When you first get this storyline, Mercator asks you to chart Fram Strait, Lofoten Basin, Denmark Basin and Norwegian Sea. This has been mistranslated, when Mercator says Norwegian Sea he actually means Norwegian Basin which is called Norway Basin in your list of chartable areas. Might help some confused newbies (like myself) to know this information beforehand. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteAfter handing in the first set of charts, you are told to go out and chart West Barents Sea, East Barents Sea, and North Norwegian Sea. You must also chart the White Sea to complete the second step, even though it does not tell you to.
