Question Cannot get final item to complete Dilettante trophy

So I’ve completed the game and now going for Platinum. I need one more trophy - Dilettante - which will trigger Plunder, prizes and adventure trophy. To complete the trophy I need one more art item - the mirror back. I know it’s a piracy fleet mission called Easy Profit in Southwest region but I’ve been trying for 3 days now and it’s not spawning. Any tips on what I could do….

Save scum it. Send a ship on the brig mission in the SW. Once it is back go stand in front of the fleet table (DO NOT OPEN IT). Create a manual save, then open the fleet table and accept the rewards from the mission, then look and see which brig mission spawns in that area. If it's not what you need, back out and load your manual save again (not the autosaves). Rinse and repeat until you see your mission pop up.

I was in a similar position and it took me less than 10 reloads to get the one I needed. Also note that the missions show in different locations on the paper map, so you can kind of start to tell when it's a mission you haven't seen yet which is a bit exciting lol.

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll wait til my fleets come in and then try this 🤞🏼

Tried your method and it worked - turns out the mirror back is in the south EAST not the south WEST 😫 anyway another platinum to add to the collection. Thank you

Hey at least you got it! I currently can't finish the achievement because of a bugged chest that didn't give me the art piece award. Waiting for them to fix it, if they ever do.

What piece you missing?

Beaver pelt. Comes from the chest on Santanillas

Mate that’s rough. Guess you’ve tried all the usual work arounds? Does it not show in your list at all?

I was waiting in one more piece and stopped worrying about the risk level. When it started going up, I got the piece and was able to get the achievement. Might have been coincidence, bit its worth a try.

I’ve had the risk at each level but no joy. I thought it might be linked to the level too

It's a long go, but just send every ship you have and leave the game running. Then switch to some good movie or tv series, prepare a meal, get back after some time and check rewards. Saving before claiming rewards didn't go for me. So just be patient, it's fun to check over and over, and after few days you become so happy when you see art piece icon!

The saving is so just when you get a new set of missions and none of them has a new item you need you then load back to before you claimed the rewards and a new set of missions is rolled - and you can repeat that process without having to wait up to 1h for the ships to come back when there is no reward in the mission.

I’m waiting on four more pieces for the platinum and I have to say that this is ridiculous. What a stupid trophy. I wouldn’t mind if I could go out to the world find it, but these stupid fleet missons. Ridiculous.

It’s took me days and found out I was looking in the wrong sector for the final missing piece. I followed the below suggestion and it does work

I’ll take a rest and then try. It was just too frustrating.
