If you need Dire Wasps, the easiest place to get one is in Port Royal. Go to the Graveyard, there are torches nearby near the stream that leads to King's Run. Once inside King's Run, keep right until you find a dire wasp (you have to go past some big tree roots, and some rocks on the right not too far in). You'll need to defeat the wasp, and let it respawn however many times you need to complete your task.

You can also find Dire Wasps on Rumrunner's Island, but you'll find Scorpions, Crabs, and other stuff there.

There are also Dire Wasps and Terror Wasps on Isla Perdida, but you'll probably want to avoid that island for now.

Good luck, and happy pirating lol!

Actually Isla Perdida is an easy place to get the wasps. As long as you can maneuver your pirate around avoiding clumps of wasps and terror wasps, there are plenty of places to get wasps alone easily.

Driftwood Island also has some lower level wasps.. they're up in the grassy area.

Thank you! Finally got my wasps at Driftwood Island after spending a few nights in jail

Man, those things are nasty! Of course, it didn't help that I'd slash at one first, THEN notice what level they were! Oh! Wrong wasp!! AH!!!!!!!!!! I learned you can't outrun those things!

I think it's time they gave you your very own cell block!

Ok, maybe I should start my own pathetic thread, but thought this might be better than PMing someone. I tried loading POTC last night, took me through the initial Disney sign on and load, then a big blank dark screen. Couldn't ctrl/alt/del so manually shut down. I deleted the EA-Land that I find mundane and not my thing to free up memory. Not sure I got it all as some files said they couldn't be deleted, but trying to lad POTC again got me the same results. Shut down again and went to bed. Well it was 1 AM and I'm sleep deprived trying to find replacement for vmk AFTER vmk closes, lol.

Any suggestions? Thanks

Use POTCO's live chat support. There are video card things they may be able to help you tweak out by manually editting the game settings (they are all stored in a text file).

seaturtledude · 04-24-2008, 11:06 AM

Mmm... I always end up in jail for cheating at poker >_<. (10 times yesterday)

It won't let me go to Live Chat, even after turning off pop up blocker.

What's exceptionally scary are those HUGE scorpions that come up behind you! AH!

If there's a crew online, I'll be back in a couple hours.

You might need to download an update for your video card driver... the piratesonline.com website has a list of all the driver updates available.. there are even instructions that will tell you how to find out which video card you have and if it needs to be updated. Choose the Graphics Drivers category under the help section on the bottom left of the screen.

Mine resembles one that is near the bottom of the list stated as older and probably will not work with pirates online. -sigh- Ok, got a month to find a deal online for new video card!

Car, you might want to also check your memory while you are at it. While the minimum requirement is only 512 mb, I find it works much better at 1 gb. We have three players in our house and the computer that is at 512 plays the game rather choppy with a lot of stalls and freeze moments.

LOL, I always seem to be in battle when you come to visit me! However, I went to visit Matty yesterday and I ended up in the middle of a huge group of high level veterans in Fort Charles. Arg. Also, whenever I visit HappyGoLucky, she is always in some extreme location with level 25 and up foes. Scary...............
