Crown of Moctezuma
From Pirates and Traders
The Crown of Moctezuma is a multi-part quests in "Pirates and Traders".
Starting the Quest
The quest start is found in the tavern.
The prerequisite for starting the quest is that your character has at least five years of experience, so don't even worry about looking for this until 1665 at the earliest.
In addition, you will only receive the quest in a country that (sort of) trusts you, meaning that you must hold a letter of marque with that country.
Tips and Hints
- Crown of Moctezuma is a multi-part story, meaning that it features several missions.
- You can turn down any mission right at the beginning without any ill effects. So if you're not quite ready to start a mission, this is always an option.
- Once you've started the mission by talking to the characters, turning down the mission will end the storyline permanently for that character. So be sure that this is what you want.
- You will face personal combat. Make sure that you are well-armed and/or have put some skill points into personal combat skills.
- You will face heavy opposition from enemy shipping. Don't attempt this until you have a powerful ship.
