“A Pirate’s Deal” is the first quest players come across in Ubisoft’s new piracy game, Skull and Bones. It’s a simple quest that serves as an introduction to the way quests are discovered and completed, but it can leave new players running around to find the items it requires. In this guide, I’ll walk you through getting the quest, completing it, and turning it in.
Where to Find the “A Pirate’s Deal” Quest in Skull and Bones
At the start of the game, you’re facing what remains of the Exeter. Use “W” to push your dhow forward between the two halves of the ship. In the distance, you’ll see a rocky island with a question mark in a circle at its center.
Head towards that island while avoiding coral outcrops and hungry sharks. When you get close enough to the island, an image of an “S” key will appear at the bottom of your screen. Hold “S” on your keyboard to exit your dhow and step onto the island.
The island is filled with drunken sailors. Both the left and right paths will lead you towards the giver of the quest, but I find the right path to be the quickest route. At the end of the path is the Pirate Chief Officer. Press “F” near him to talk with him.
Towards the end of your conversation, he offers to exchange information about the way to Sainte-Anne if you bring him the remains of Scurlock’s cargo. To accept, press the space bar or use your mouse to click the “Accept” button.
Once you’ve accepted the quest, it will appear on the top right of your screen. Press “X” to toggle between viewing the quest and keeping it hidden.
How to Gather Explosive Firearms and Opulent Rum for “A Pirate’s Deal” in Skull and Bones
Return to the front of the island. Press F near the pole to get back on your dhow.
In the quest information, it is said that the “cargo drifted north of the Exeter wreck.” This means that you’ll need to head to the area to the left of the wreck. If you get lost, there is a line at the top of the screen that acts as a compass. When you face the north, it will show an “N” as well as the “A Pirate’s Deal” quest icon.
Once you reach this area, you’ll see several floating pallets with items on them. Sailing closely to them reveals that each pallet contains three of the Explosive Firearms and three of the Opulent Rum you need to complete this quest. These pallets will constantly respawn, so don’t worry if there are multiple people grabbing them or the area is empty.
Loot two of the pallets to get all of the items you need. This will activate the second part of the quest, which is delivering the items to the Pirate Chief Officer.
How to Complete “A Pirate’s Deal” Quest in Skull and Bones
Once you’ve gathered all of the items you need, return to the island the Pirate Chief Officer is on. Speak with him again to bring up the quest. If you have all of the items required, press the space bar or click the “submit” button to complete the quest.
When you exit the talking screen, a “Contract Complete: A Pirate’s Deal” notification will emerge, showing you the items you’ve gained beneath it. You will also be pushed directly into a new quest involving finding a way to Sainte-Anne.
