Final Lesson

[[ BBS ] Bootleg]

been through all quests i could find, done side jobs for god knows how long, cleaned out the spanish treasure fleet a few times out of boredom, and still there is nothing i can find to trigger the Final Lesson quest.

according to this guide i've been following, landing at StPierre should start this but nothing i try seems to work. any ideas on how to go about this? any requirements or missed things?

first would be that you have not started the Dutch Gambit, if you have then it will not appear. also Rank doesnt matter anymore as i have played at rank 33

(the last quest that was hard to trigger for me was the "Just Like Home" as the NPC only shows up at 10AM+)

all my quest log shows is the burden of gasconge quest , been trying to clean up everything before going back to michel so i don't think that the gambit has started yet(?) but not sure.
for the rest it's all done as far as i can see but it still won't start.

Once you've had a conversation about working for either the DWIC, English provateer or secret organisation, you cannot do the Final Lesson anymore.

Also make sure that you have:

Price of Discretion
Resin Dog
Prison Break
Grandee Albalate
Just Like Home

in the archived page of your logbook, and make sure that they are all properly completed.

You also need to complete Caribbean in a Nutshell first.

didn't have that convo yet and done all the rest that i could possibly find, that's why i'm completely stumped on why that thing won't start. last convo with michel (the guy in prison) was about visiting fadey about jobs and money and such. havent been back to michel since, just been stampeding all over the map doing quests left right front center and backwards until there is literally no quests left.

Did you visit Fadey and complete Caribbean in a Nutshell?

[[ BBS ] Bootleg]

yup, fadey said meet some bloke at the shop the next day, did that, which rollercoasted into all kinds of quests, done em all , including loads of side jobs like playing taxi and ship recovery and such.

so far my list of completed quests (logbook archive):
stolen jewel
missing assistant
adventure with canibals
delicate business
rum matters
bottleneck commodity
spanish engineer
tichingitu
money on trees
folke deluc
caribean in a nutshell
spooky cemetary
side-job fugitives
resin dog
side job cargo delivery
rat problem
side job assignment for governor
side job freights
price of discretion (1 + 2)
prison break
grandee albalate
indian chief
side job passenger to antigua
just like home
side job passenger to portobello
side job passenger to tortuga
event golden fleet
side job passenger to basse terre
side job passenger to san juan
kidnapper
side job nobleman to basse terre
side job stolen ship to basse terre
manga rosa
side job citizen to port-au-prince
side job nobleman to santiago
side job: escort
false trace
side job sea marathon
side job citizen to port-au-prince
side job nobleman to st pierre
side job citizen to havana
side job citizen to st pierre
dangerous cargo
side job last wish

and for the life of me i can't figure out how to trigger that final lesson thing

If you've completed Caribbean in a Nutshell and haven't started Dutch Gambit you should still be able to start the Final Lesson quests. Hard to say since you've done so much freeplay, are you sure you didn't accidentally decline them? Are there any quest markers on the French ports?

updated previous post with archive from logbook. no idea what i'm missing.

[StormRangerX]

Resin Dog, Price of Discretion, Prison Break, Grandee Albalate, and Just Like Home are the five Final Lesson quests. If you successfully completed all of them you should have been stopped by Gregoire upon return to St. Pierre. Did you fail any of them?

[[ BBS ] Bootleg]

resin dog -> transport never showed up , quest auto-failed
discretion 1+ 2 both complete
prison break complete
albalate complete
just like home complete

i guess that's where things went sideways?

[StormRangerX]

Yep.

[[ BBS ] Bootleg]

well at least that clears up that part. so if i go to michel again, that's where gambit begins i guess?

[StormRangerX]

Yep.

[[ BBS ] Bootleg]

alrighty. thx much for the time taken to help.
