How do you get more types of decorations?

[TheJackOfApples]

I finished the story line but I still only have 6 different types of decorations and the achievements make me think there's at least 18, how do I get the rest?

[Paraleo]

I find this system lacking tbh, you can only get them through trade deals or faction offers you know when they are friendly for a long time and they can offer you a quest, but if I remember correctly only the pirate factions and the traders offer quests though.

Yes, I have exactly the same problem. I completed the campaign but only got 6 decorations:
Outhouse
Pirate's Monument
Well
Figurehead
Barrels
Skeleton Cage

It would be nice if the trade offers for decorations came up more often.
I don't remember the pirate quests giving decorations, but I defeated the normal pirates pretty quickly. But it would be pretty stupid if you couldn't get certain decorations anymore because the pirates were defeated.

the skeleton is from the bordello quest

That's frustrating that if you finish the story line campaign, getting more decorations is nearly impossible since 3/4 factions that will offer you quests will have been eliminated. I might settle for just beating it and not really playing around much afterwards.

Ya, I'm betting on more decorations, maybe a palm tree and some seats, Bushes, or something like that.

Is there anybody else having problems with the achievement? I am in freeplay and have 17 decorations. Waiting for hours now, but no more offers from the 4 factions from additional ones. Extremely dissatisfied !

I have the following ones:
- black board
- hay ball
- dump toilet
- bird cage
- great shell
- treasure chest
- boat
- pirate statue
- meeting point
- clock
- well
- theatre
- anchor
- barrels
- flag
- straightening wheel
- gallows

Which one is missing????
In campaign you got the skeleton cage, but in free play you dont get it

As long as your #18 isnt the skeleton cage from the bordello quest in the story line..

If it is.. that means you can only get that achievement from the story line to get all 18 and you would HAVE to do it right when diplomacy is unlocked and not advance the quests. If you knock out one of the pirates.. it just makes it that much harder.

[eveque67]

Is there anyone who has completed this achievement willing to share details? Was it on the campaign? Did it include the bordello skeleton cage? Was it in Free Play? Did you keep everyone friendly and just sit there until they finally popped up? Some kind of help would be appreciated.
Thank you

My 18 Decorations are:

Gallows - From bordello quest
Breaking Wheel
Skeleton Cage
Flag
Barrels
Anchor
Figurehead
Theater
Well
Clock Tower
Meeting Spot
Pirates Monument
Treasure Chest
Giant Shell
Birdcage
Outhouse
Hay Bales
Notice Board

These were done in the story mode.

Im thinking the only way you get the 18 achievement is story mode.. which sucks. If you follow the story.. you start wiping out pirates.. thus removing the side quest option which gives you a chance at the decorations. As long as it has not already materialized on the map.. what pops up is random while heavily favoring coins for gold.

I had already defeated the story on easy mode and was working the hard mode when that thought came to me. I stopped all progress in the story and just farmed insignia and coins. I saved regularly. then when the very 1st side quest pops up, pause and look at where ships are etc. Reload from your previous save spot. Advance the time until the ships get close to where they were when it pops and then save again.

Once your saved BEFORE it materializes, you can reload to your hearts content to get them before advancing. I let all 4 materialize, had a ship sitting there and then paused the game. opened all 4 at once. If i got a decoration, I saved, if not, reload. That way you get 4 randoms every cycle in a hope that at least one of them is a decoration.

I hope that helps. Its a cheesy way.. but completely impossible under normal play if you follow their storyline.

Make sure to stop the storyline BEFORE you conquer Pantaloon Island or you lose Jack as a 4th look.

Correction for the above post -

I now have 19 - I just added Rowboats (between Pirate Monument and Treasure Chest. Since there are now 19 confirmed decorations, it appears you can get the achievement in either mode. You just get a free one with the story mode. If more happen to pop in - I will update my list.

NOW 20
My 20 Decorations are:

Gallows - From bordello quest
Breaking Wheel
Skeleton Cage
Flag
Barrels
Anchor
Figurehead
Theater
Well
Clock Tower
Meeting Spot
Pirates Monument
Rowboats
Treasure Chest
Giant Shell
Birdcage
Outhouse
Hay Bales
Notice Board
Palm Tree - NEW

you get more decoration from diplomacy extra quests. These are quests from good/green/peace standing factions that just plop an X down on the map that you go to and give them Y of some currency (from destroying ships) like french insignia, spanish gold, etc.
