Some Odds and Ends Part IV

This is going to be an odd sort of interruption – and the guide will pick up with Sequence 08 as if it has not already played out (the Introduction I mean) so just set that aside temporarily as there are a few small tasks for us to do before we can pursue the main mission and story line, alright? Excellent! First check the map in the Homestead to see that there is a Homestead Mission for you to do – head to the marker now.

Homestead Mission: Raw Materials

Norris needs your help gathering the raw materials to make the knife for Myriam, and asks you to meet him at the mine site in the Frontier – when you get there Norris is preparing the explosives and you are charged with defending the mine entrance.

Each time Norris set off a charge you are attacked by a mixed group of Redcoats – that happens three times and each time you defeat them – after the third charge Norris has all he needs, you complete the mission with 100% Synchronization and you now add gold and silver to the resources you can get at the Homestead from Norris!

If you check the map now you will see that there is a new Homestead Mission here on the Frontier, so target it and head there next!

Recruiting Big Dave the Blacksmith to the Homestead

Homestead Mission: Deserter

You rescue Big Dave from a patrol of Redcoats who were bringing him back as a deserter – and you invite him to return to the Homestead and be the Smith for the community. He of course takes you up on that offer!

Returning to the Homestead, there are no new missions but head to the Harbormaster and access the fast-travel menu and you will note that in addition to the marker for New York City, there are some new Privateer Missions and a Naval Mission – but we will deal with those soon, just not now; now we head for New York City!

Before we can go to New York City we have to begin the next Sequence Main Mission, so that wraps up this brief diversion of odd tasks!
