Hmmm... something appears broken here. Unless there has been some very recent change, upon completion this quest changes to something like "The courier who got involved", that then has you fight 10 galleasses near Suez and grants you the card for Supply Corps job.

This job quest is actually called "Procure cannonballs". Since the link to the second half of this quest is still broken (for now?), I edited in the remaining steps. Also, I faced 6 enemy row boats, not 10, but I was in a fleet of 3, so maybe that affected the enemy numbers.

There's a way to use the canal to do the quest, use aide production to make cannonball, then take it out from Suez bank, but it cost more than 1m fee to pick up cannonball from Suez.
but time is money.

Alternatively, I believe that since this quest doesn't have a timer attached to it you could use a Crystal of Blessing item with Poseidon's Blessing as your chosen effect to enable temporary transport of trade goods through the Suez Canal, with the required amount of cannonballs in your cargo. It'd be quicker than sailing there normally, and cheaper than Ray's proposed method.

On the other hand, Crystals of Blessing aren't always obtainable, and could possibly be put to better use depending on your playstyle. As with all things UWO: choose the route that best suits you. Cheers.
