They should remove it, if it has no purpose in the game. Has wasted a lot of players time thinking this was something useful. I also take it the Old Sea Ticket doesn't do anything either?
They won't tell us. They want us to hunt for it and spend more time on their game, which is why I think this item and the guards at Vermillion port were left behind to throw players off. It would take no more than a few minutes to make the guard npc disappear after the SS Anne has set sail if they wanted to script it.
nah, that was just overseen for real. Otherwise Arnie wouldnt have told you that it shouldnt be thereit gonna be removed probably soon.
