0.711 Caravan Doesn't pay up

Users who are viewing this thread

I tried escorting a caravan that I found on the map. I ducked off to ensure it didn't get molested by bandits. After causing them to die, the merchants walked into town before I could collect my pay....
 
Smart pesky Merchants aren't they?

Did you got the name of the caravan master? Hehe, well, he probably lied to you anyway.

I haven't tested this bug yet, but I think you need to be very close to the caravan before they enter town or talk to them near the town, or else they fool you, those bastards!
 
Was it a caravan quest that you got from a city, or one that you found wandering around on the map? If it's the second, you have to catch them, they won't hold up to pay you off.
 
Have you tried luring attackers into attacking the caravan after you tell them to stay put? Then you can join the battle and clean house. For regular escorting (bad choice of words but I will continue) you should wait outside the town to get the reward , I mean press the spacebar and let them catch up to you, or just click on the caravan to talk to them again. If you go into the fort they will be waiting outside like you did nothing sometimes. This is just an old quirk of the game.
 
It was a quest from a caravan I found wandering around on the map.

And yes, I've used my escorted caravan as bait on occasion. :smile:
 
Well in that case they probably didn't like you running off and you will need to track them down and break their legs like that other guy suggested heh. bad luck for the big tough killer this time but you'll make up for it in time. With this latest patch you can make money almost as easily as in the first version which makes me happy.
 
Yep, compared to .704 (where I started), I'm suddenly rolling in cash. :smile:

It's good and bad. Better access to the best kit, but it feels like less of a struggle to get good. :smile:
 
Your only problem was that you didnot get paid. My caravan didnot even show up when I got the quest and now I can't have any merchant quests. I'm playing .711

In order to get paid by those types of caravans, you have to talk to them again just before they reach the town. If they get to town before you do that, then you are out of luck.
