A Hold Full (questline step)

A Hold Full is a step of The Harbormaster’s Word.

Requirements

Requirement	Value
Questline	The Harbormaster’s Word
Previous step	Under Sail
Wait after previous step	At least one game hour
Minimum level	5+
Feature requirement	Naval Combat on
Offered by	a harbormaster

Objectives

Use the location names in your quest journal. Follow map markers when they are available.

Step	Objective	Optional
1	Take a cargo off a harbormaster's board (at the helm, lying to a quay) and deliver it	No

Outcomes

Added gear requires a successful quest payment and a qualifying outcome. Quest mail alone does not count as payment.

Outcome	Gold multiplier	Gear choice
You delivered a cargo, and a bonus from the harbormaster waited at the quay.	100%	Yes
The harbormaster's cargoes went to other ships.	No added payment	No

With Questlines enabled, these outcomes control the added rewards. Gold multipliers apply only to gold the quest actually pays. A gear choice offers a weapon, armour and jewellery; keep one. See Quest rewards and loot for rarity, payment and online reward rules.

Previous step: Under Sail.

Next step: Strike Your Colors.

Scripted gold

Payment	Base amount (gold)
Gold payment	200–400

These are the script’s unscaled payment ranges, before the outcome multiplier and any party split. A payment still requires its quest objective or branch; the listed payments are not automatically awarded together.
