Player workbench

Finish only the Kingston city work that the current story stage allows, and reserve exact return stops for the two portraits.

Laurens Prins and Woodes Rogers do not spawn at the same story point; the south and north warehouses also use different key-bearing patrols.

Why this entry is useful

A story-stage ledger and warehouse-key split that separates available-now pickups, later portraits and an outbound Cumberland Bay treasure route.

The 617, 167 point is a city anchor, not every pickup. Current Resynced specialist routes report Laurens after Sequence 05 Mission 03 and Woodes after Sequence 12 Mission 01; confirm both in your save.

Safe first move

Read the active sequence and the two portrait names in the codex, then pick one open manor or warehouse branch from the city map.

Finish line

The intended portrait or warehouse reward is recorded by name; any still-locked portrait or outbound treasure dig has a separate return note.

  2. Story stageFor warehouse work, use the south key bearer north of the big barn or the north key bearer at the plantation manor; verify which warehouse is active before crossing guards.
  3. Outbound clueAfter Sequence 12 Mission 01, check the central manor for Woodes Rogers. Read each portrait or painting in the codex and keep the Cumberland Bay map dig as a separate voyage.

The intended portrait or warehouse reward is recorded by name; any still-locked portrait or outbound treasure dig has a separate return note.

How to use it

Diagnose a story gate before another city lap

Kingston has three different kinds of unfinished state: a portrait that has not spawned, a warehouse key bearer in the wrong compound, or an outbound map whose dig is outside the city.

Recovery path

The manor or warehouse is still closed

If a portrait is absent, compare the current sequence against its own unlock stage and postpone only that manor. If a warehouse is locked, search the matching south or north key patrol, not the other compound. If you already hold the southwest map, sail to Cumberland Bay when ready; do not keep searching Kingston for its buried reward.

Story stage → correct compound → named proof

  1. Before Sequence 05 Mission 03, clear only open city markers and leave the west-plantation portrait as a named return. After that memory, check Laurens Prins in the west manor.
  2. For warehouse work, use the south key bearer north of the big barn or the north key bearer at the plantation manor; verify which warehouse is active before crossing guards.
  3. After Sequence 12 Mission 01, check the central manor for Woodes Rogers. Read each portrait or painting in the codex and keep the Cumberland Bay map dig as a separate voyage.

Kingston return ledger

Clear what is open; reserve the two portrait returns

Kingston's plantation, manor and warehouses do not share one access state. Choose the row matching your story progress, then verify the specific reward before you call that part of the city done.

Choose the unresolved state

Choose the Kingston result that is still open

Match the current story stage, warehouse area, or map in your inventory. This route selector cannot read your save; use the codex, map, and reward screen as proof.

Choose the state that matches your map, inventory, or story progress to see the next safe check.

  1. 01

    Before Sequence 05 · Mission 03

    Do next

    Sync the city viewpoints and clear open street, rooftop and contract markers. Save the western plantation portrait as a story return, not a missing chest.

    Check the story route
    Result to check

    The current map and codex show which markers changed; Laurens Prins remains on the return list.

    If this does not match your save

    If the plantation portrait is absent, check the current memory stage before searching another room. Do not substitute a nearby money chest for the portrait.

  2. 02

    After Sequence 05 · Mission 03

    Do next

    Revisit the west plantation manor for Laurens Prins. Keep the central Woodes Rogers manor stop deferred until the later story stage.

    Recheck Kingston markers
    Result to check

    Laurens Prins appears in the portrait codex; Woodes Rogers is still a named return task.

    If this does not match your save

    If the west manor is inaccessible or the portrait differs, record the active story state and revisit after the matching memory instead of sweeping the whole city again.

  3. 03

    Warehouse branch

    Do next

    For the south warehouse, look north of the large barn for its key bearer; for the north warehouse, inspect the plantation manor patrol. Open the correct warehouse before chasing its separate reward.

    Follow the map handoff
    Result to check

    The appropriate painting or map appears by name. The south-warehouse treasure map sends you onward to a Cumberland Bay rowboat, not another Kingston chest.

    If this does not match your save

    If a key is missing, confirm which warehouse area is active and search its own guard route. A key from the other warehouse does not open this branch.

  4. 04

    After Sequence 12 · Mission 01

    Do next

    Return to the central Kingston manor near 618, 171 for Woodes Rogers rather than repeating plantation or dock pickups.

    Reconcile remaining families
    Result to check

    Woodes Rogers is recorded in the portrait codex; any remaining family counter has its own marker.

    If this does not match your save

    If the portrait has not spawned, confirm the current memory result and manor access, then leave that one row unresolved. Do not claim full city completion from a map icon alone.

Before you leaveLeave Kingston with two separate notes: the portrait stage still locked by story, and any unresolved south/north warehouse reward. A finished warehouse is not proof that the portrait codex is complete.

Route Plan

Story stage → correct compound → named proof

Kingston cleanup has two story-gated portraits and two separate warehouse keys. Check the current sequence first: Laurens Prins follows Sequence 05 Mission 03, Woodes Rogers follows Sequence 12 Mission 01; raid only the warehouse whose key bearer and reward you still need.

  1. Read the current story stage and portrait codex before treating a missing manor item as a map error.
  2. For a warehouse, identify south or north: the south key bearer is north of the large barn; the north key bearer patrols the plantation manor.
  3. After each stop, verify the named portrait, painting, or map. The southwest-warehouse map leads to Cumberland Bay, not another Kingston dig.

The city boundary

The city boundary

The southwest-warehouse map is a Kingston pickup; its buried reward belongs to a separate Cumberland Bay voyage. Keep the pickup and dig as two completion states.

  • Read the present treasure-map name after the warehouse raid rather than assuming the painting and map are one reward.
  • Only schedule Cumberland Bay after the map appears in inventory; the shoreline rowboat is a destination clue, not a Kingston marker.
  • Reopen Kingston's local family counters before leaving; a dig in another region does not close an unfinished city portrait.

Two ways an icon can stay open

Two ways an icon can stay open

A story-gated portrait and a warehouse with an unlooted key bearer need different recoveries.

  • For a portrait, compare the codex name and current sequence before returning to the correct manor.
  • For a warehouse, identify the south or north compound first, then search that area's key-bearing patrol.
  • For a moving song sheet, plan the roof line from a synced viewpoint before triggering the chase; verify the sheet family counter after capture.

Common Questions

Why is a Kingston portrait missing from the manor?

Check the name and story stage before another sweep. Current Resynced route references put Laurens Prins at the west plantation after Sequence 05 Mission 03 and Woodes Rogers at the central manor after Sequence 12 Mission 01. The live codex and marker decide whether either return is ready.

Which Kingston warehouse key bearer do I need?

First identify the south or north warehouse on the current map. The south key bearer is reported north of the large barn; the north key bearer patrols the plantation manor. Confirm the key icon and the actual painting or map after opening the matching door.

Does the Kingston warehouse map finish in Kingston?

No. The southwest-warehouse map is picked up in Kingston, but its buried reward is a separate Cumberland Bay dig beside a shoreline rowboat. Keep pickup, dig, and reward as three checks.
