What's the most efficient way to gain the 1500 points in A Pirate's Tail Quest?

Question

I play in a really crowded world and I wonder what the most efficient way of completing this is. Camping one spot? Asking the NPC where the current raid is and just legging it hoping to score some points?

Answer 1

The best option is to camp at Eustacio and say location until a raid starts. If it is the spyrat raid or the land invasion all you have to do is hit the creatures to gain points from the kill. You don't have to be the one doing the most damage. If it is the ship raid unfortunately that will be more difficult on a crowded server. Once the raid ends an orange message will appear that everyone in the area will see notifying that the raid has ended.

I would then set a timer for 29 minutes. 30 minutes after the raid ends the next one will start. So once your timer goes off you have 1 minute make your way back to Eustacio and you will be able to go to the next raid. The most annoying part is finding the first raid, once you have a timer it lets you work on bestiary, train, sell loot etc in your spare time as you wait.

Only other suggestion would be to try to login and collect points late in the night based on the server time zone. (EU, NA, SA)

Answer 2

The best way is to camp at Eustacio to know the time of  a raid, then it's easy to know when the next will happen cause you know when th raid ends.

If your server is crowded, it will be hard to make points with the catapult raid, so the best option is to focus on Spyrats and Land Invasion.
The Spyrats raid, the best thing is to set a rune on your hotkey and be always ready to use as soon as a spyrat appears, if many people go at same time, this can be hard, but with 5-6 people it's easier to hit the spyrat
The Land invasion is the best one, use the same tatic with avalanche, as soon as you see Pirats throw an avalanche to hit them.

Also, if it's possible, try to focus to do the points when there's less people doing it, it will be easier to get points
