Black Pearl Recruit: James Pidgeley - Part I

After talking to Joshamee Gibbs, visit Carver in the same tavern. He is the bartender of the Faithful Bride. He wants you to get a tattoo to prove he can trust you, so visit Tattoo Bonita. If you don't know where she is, take a look at the map on this page (Bonita is in Bonita's Tattoo Parlor). Enter, and talk to her. She says that you need to gather the ingredients first. We need 2 pinches of bone dust from Skeletons, a copper rod from a Navy ship, and 3 blood from Giant Scorpions. Let's get the bone dust and the blood first in the Wildwoods. Exit the shop and head to the path on the right. Enter the tree tunnel at the bend in the road. Defeat the skeletons and scorpion there, and head over the bridge. If you get low on health, use a Tonic by pressing T. Use your gun for these enemies; you need to raise your gun level up. Note that you can't attack the Navy people with your gun. Shoot the scorpions and skeletons dead here until you have enough of the ingredients, and go back over the bridge and exit. Head to the left until you reach the beach, and use the dinghy to launch your light sloop. Like last time, search for a Navy Ferret or Bulwark (or a Panther, if you think you can handle it) and sink it with your broadsides. Once you have gotten the copper rod, sail back to Tortuga and dock.
Return to Tattoo Bonita. After she puts the tattoo on you, go back to Carver. He gives you a list that says to capture a flag from a Navy ship. Time to go out to sea again! :) Around this time, if you get a message in your Journal about visiting Tia Dalma to unlock the Voodoo Doll, you can go ahead and visit her. You can follow the walkthrough for that quest here. Anyways, go to the dinghy and launch your ship. You know the drill; go out and sink Ferrets, Bulwarks, or Panthers until you get the flag, then dock back at Tortuga. Return to Carver. He tells you to capture Captain Steadman from a Navy ship and maroon him to get him to tell you where a list is. To do this, we have to sink a Navy ship...again! Go do that, then dock at Devil's Anvil. Next, use the 'Port of Call' button on the map section of your Sea Chest to return to Tortuga. When at Tortuga, head over to the house called 'Trading Co.' and prepare for a fight. Look at the map here if you don't know where to find it. Once you open the door, there will be a Navy soldier there, so have your sword (or voodoo doll if you have it) ready. Once you killed the soldier, search the desk for the list. Now you have to sink 6 Navy ships. I recommend you do start the Voodoo Doll quest now, as you can use the voodoo doll to defeat enemies more easily.
Recommended Notoriety: 5 (6 or 7 if you did the Voodoo Doll Quest)
Sailing: 2
Cannon: 2
Cutlass: 3
