Rogue Buccaneers temporary island location
Follow the Buccaneers side quest marker from your journal to sail to their procedural temporary island base, displaced by pirates.
A free fast travel campfire unlocks upon arrival, with no need for a crafted bell. Henri Boucher leads the camp; traders including the provisioner stand nearby among bounty agents and buyers.
How to start Buccaneers side quest
Pick up the side quest early after basic progression, often the easiest available. It triggers via quest board or NPC dialogue on starter islands.
Sail following map markers, avoiding high-level patrols around Tortuga en route. Complete initial tasks like camp visits to solidify reputation.
How to reach Tortuga safely
Progress the main quest “How My Sea Adventure Began” to mark Tortuga, but expect level 6-10 pirate ships nearby despite its level 1 label. Repair and lightly upgrade your starter boat first. Dock centrally; Rogue Buccaneers reps appear in the market alongside other factions.
How to farm Piastre quickly
Loot pirate camps, supply boxes, and enemies for Piastre drops. Hunt animal trophies or combat loot for Rogue buyer sales at their base. Check treasure markers on the map for hidden caches with currency. Turn in faction items only at matching buyers to build rep without spending.

How to buy and use Master Tools
Approach the Rogue Buccaneer provisioner NPC at their base or Tortuga.
Select Master’s Tools from inventory if you have 10 Piastre.
Equip or store in your workbench for recipe unlocks like Flibustier and Tracker armor sets. Higher rep reveals more advanced items.
These tools jumpstart mid-game crafting for combat armor and ship cannons, giving edge in faction quests and naval fights. Pair with stone/copper basics before buying.
