Salty Jack 56 Posted May 16, 2019 Yesterday I used the change home port location function to scout out a few lawless zones for taming.... I of course did not get discovery points when I traveled to these islands using this method.... Does anyone know if I will get the discovery points when I sail there in a ship at some future date, or have I lost the opportunity for those points/levels forever ?....

Jack Shandy 242 Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) It's only your current Home port you can't get discoveries on, once you change it you can go back and get the discoveries. we sorted out our companies home ports last weekend, all went back and got discoveries from where they first joined the game. although some people are having trouble getting discoveries when spawning on beds placed by others on islands they themselves have never sailed to, I think that might be intentional, just a heads up.

Salty Jack 56 Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) Great.... thanks.... I should port back to my base and get all the points in my permanent home port zone before switching location back to there..... Edited May 16, 2019 by Salty Jack Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DocOlds 20 Posted May 16, 2019 If you fast travel into a new server you usually don't get the disco point on the first try. But if you die and spawn at the bed a 2nd time it will give the point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Port in, sit in the chair, and you get the discovery. Otherwise, dying and respawning again will get you the DP. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have people placing beds and chairs all over the Atlas. I got 40 discovery points a couple nights ago fast traveling to all these beds and then sitting down in the provided chair.
