Hooded figures side quest compilation

[NyX]

Seeing how these are the only "major" side quests (they all give books which could be considered the best type of rewards in game, aka passive skills) that you can fail quite easily I think it would be nice if we could gather all info on all of them (location, requirements and reward) to help each other and to help future players.

It is advisable to not accept these quests until you've completed a big portion of your Fish Encylopedia and have the rods to catch all types of fish.

There are 4 hooded figures: Blue, Red, Purple and Yellow.

BLUE:

Location - M7
Needs - 3 Mackarel fish (Blue, Tiger and Snake Mackarel)
Reward - Book that increases your sell value by 5% and decreases the cost of buying stuff by 5%

YELLOW:

Location - K2
Needs - Red Snapper, Fangtooth, Blue Crab
Reward - Book that gives you 15% rods reel fish more effectively

RED:

Location - L14
Needs - Cusk Eel, Sailfish, Frilled Shark
Reward - Book(Nautical Engineering) Equipment types that use durability will lose it 15% slower

PURPLE:

Location - E10
Needs - Tarpon, Horseshoe Crab, Barreleye
Reward - Book(Pushing the Limit: Engines) Engines provide 7.5% more movement speed than listed

you have all locations on wiki but yes its very bad they can die at least creators should give options to like rob the dead boddy to get book

Updated the post with Yellow. Also I read somewhere that Purple figure requires Horseshoe crab but I will update it once I see what the other 2 fishes he requests and what the reward is.

It is highly advisable to prepare the crabs in advance. Getting the right crab after accepting the quest could easily take too long and you fail the quest.

Perfect! Thank you very much! I've edited the post and hopefully it will help someone now that we have all the info.

Thank you, I was looking for this info after I starved one of mine.

Do they want the fish fresh or do they also eat it rotten?

Rotten no bueno, rotting is fine, I don't think it's important to the ritual that it be fresh.

Seriously though, purple is a must get, I think my boat moves 125 kmph without boost or something absurd like that.

Quick question: Besides the hooded figures quests, are there any other quests that can be failed if not completed in time?

Do we know what the actual time limit is for this?

I haven't seen anyone test that yet. Doesn't seem to be too long though because some people have been reporting how Yellow/Purple figure died for them before they could catch corresponding crabs in time.

Its just better to be prepared in time, hence I made this short guide. Specially since Purple gives a book that is one of the better books overall in the whole game. Higher engine speed is such a huge time saver.
