In AF1, Qultada is ready to begin your initiation as a member of his crew, but sends you to the Middle Lands to find a gear needed to complete your Trump Gun. These areas vary and you may pick one of three. I picked the Maze of Shakarami and you fight an NM were Argus spawns. You re--examine the door and inside you meet a woman who happens to be an old aquaintence of Quitada, she gives you the gear and you go back to Qultada and recieve your gun
Side note, this gun is one of the best AF1s, it will last you til the mid 50s, perfect for 40 caps as well.
More or less what happens in COR AF2 is that Qultada hatches a plan restore the Black Cradle and get the heck out of Arrapogo Reef and back to the ocean. But he cannot do this without a hydrogage. And so you're tasked to look for it. Fishing in Nashmau will help you uncover it, however, the hydrogauge does no longer functions.
But Pyopyoroon, a qiqirin allied with the Corsairs, knows how to restore it and instructs you to to take it to the Leypoint in Wajaon Woodlands. A day later you and Quitada return to check to find the gauge fully chared.
But you've been followed.
Those Empire lackys you met in the COR job quest are back and worse, the woman from the AF1 story has been tracking you ever since she gave you the gear. She tipped the empire to track you. See has a bone to pick with Qultada. Both she and her brother were once part of his crew. During a battle with the empire, which the CORs narrowly escaped, her brother was lost at sea. They tried in earnest to find him when the dust settled, but to no avail.
But nonetheless, she blamed Qultada for her brothers death, left them and now took this opportunity for revenge. The Galka you encounterd in the job quest is also back, no longer a pirate, but a Blue Mage serving the Empire.
Qutada, in the interest of protecting his friends allows himself to be taken captive and orders you to escape. And they haul off to execute Qultada.
Now, over the course of the other AFs, you're sent by Pyopyoroon to the Middle Lands once more. Old members of Qultada's crew reside in Bastock, Sandoria and Windurst. They'll request various items to craft your AFs and relate tales about Qultada to you and it gets their passions rolling. They describe Qultada as bold, like a hurricane, others still want to beat him at dice games.
And so you return to Arrapogo Reef. Members of Qultada's crew instruct you to meet them at the Teahouse in Whitegate. You meet them there and are issed a life float to toss to Qultada, word is they have taken him to the Ashu Talif and plan to drown him in the ocean, the same fate as the woman's brother.
When you arrive you do battle with the empire stooges, the BLU is totally weak, the WAR is really the trouble maker, but easy fight overall with some friends.
You toss the float to Qultada and he's saved. The woman is utterly defeated and with sword and gun in hand before her, Qultada spares her life. She still hates Qultada, but when her brother's ghost appears, he more or less expresses he was proud to die as a corsair and that Qultada is not to blame.
She forgives Qultada and leaves the ship.
The Black Cradle is now restored, the Hydrogage allows them to monitor the ocean's floor and get them out of the reef. In the captain's room, a ceremony is held, you're finally a full member of Qultada's Crew and recieve your Corsair's Tricornne
