Get the Buccaneer's Friend in Windrose

If you are looking to earn some serious respect and boost your standing with the Rogue Buccaneers faction in Windrose, earning the Buccaneer's Friend title is exactly what you need! This highly rewarding title unlocks access to some of the best gear and blueprints in the game.

To help you navigate the Glorious Hunter quest line smoothly, here is a step-by-step guide to completing the objectives and claiming your reward.

Phase 1: Exploring the Abandoned Buccaneer Camp

Your adventure begins at the Abandoned Buccaneer Camp. You will need to do a bit of scouting and looting to find clues left behind.

• Rooftop Chest: Climb up to the rooftop of the camp to find and loot the first chest.
• Ground Level Chest: Head back down to the ground level to locate the second chest. Inside, you will find a broken musket and the first page of Marcel Boucher's diary.

Hunting Tip: While searching the surrounding ruins for the rest of the diary pages, you will likely encounter wildlife like boars. When you see a red glint in a boar's eyes, it's about to charge—make sure to dodge sideways to avoid the hit! Harvesting them will reward you with valuable fat and hide.

Phase 2: Warehouse and Fort Exploration

Next, you will need to do a bit of parkour and clearing to gather more resources and clues.

The Abandoned Buccaneer Warehouse

• Entrance Cache: Use your axe to clear away the wooden crates blocking the entrance. Tucked away inside is a hidden supply cache filled with useful resources.
• Rooftop Loot: Climb up to the warehouse roof to grab a damaged flask and additional pages of Marcel’s diary.

The Destroyed Buccaneer Fort

• The Broken Gate: Carefully jump across the gap at the ruined main gate to secure some extra ammunition and gunpowder.
• The Top Platform: Climb the ladder all the way to the upper platform. You'll find a skeleton you can loot, which has a chance to drop rapiers and helpful elixirs to aid you on your journey.

Phase 3: The Delivery and Crafting Objectives

Now that you have gathered the historical evidence and audited the ruins, it is time to turn everything in and help out the faction members.

1. Report to Henri Boucher

Head over to the main Rogue Buccaneer Camp and speak with Henri Boucher. Hand over his late brother's blood-stained diary to progress the quest.

2. Complete the Faction Deliveries

To fully prove your dedication, Henri and the crew will ask you to assist with a few supply runs:

• Deliver 50 Bags of Gunpowder: You will need to spend a little time at your crafting bench to compound these supplies.
• Cook 20 Skewered Meat: Fire up your cooking station and prepare a hearty meal for the crew.
• Deliver Tanned Hides to Charlie Sharp: Take your gathered hides over to the People of Tortuga base. Head into the main villa and step out onto the balcony to find Charlie waiting for his delivery.

Once you hand over the final supplies, the quest will conclude, and the prestigious Buccaneer's Friend title will officially be yours. Best of luck on your quest, and enjoy your new faction rewards!
