Procure cannonballs
No Expiration
Lisbon Maritime Guild
I need someone of your skill to handle this job. How'd you feel about a transport run into troubled territory? We need 20 crates of cannon shot delivered to Suez. Those waters are filled with pirates so you'll need to be very careful. Can you do it? You can get the cannon shot here in town.

3. Quest automatically changes to "The courier who got involved" (temporarily listed further down on this page because the actual quest entry seems to be broken?)
IMPORTANT: You can't use canal/liner transports since you are carrying trade goods!

Ooh, I've been waiting for these. 20 crates of cannon shot. I would like to say that this will assist the front line against Islamic privateers, but in fact...
Second Quest Half, begin!
The courier who got involved
The item we requested arrived safely, but from what the town official is saying we're still in deep trouble. I wonder what this "deep trouble" could be?
[IMG:Quest_Guide]
1. [ZONE:90005546] Talk to the City Official twice more. Note: someone in your fleet MUST have r11 Repair for the second conversation! (I'm sure that seems obvious, but it's better to mention that in advance, aye?)
2. [ZONE:90000042] Sail due south of Suez, avoiding visible NPC fleets. The target fleet will "ambush" you in no time at all. Each ship has 700 HP and 150 crew per ship, but I beat them with a fleet of three, spamming Amulets of the Sun... easy!

[IMG:01] There are other enemies
It looks like another detachment is headed this way. We're already tied up in the front lines, so we don't have the manpower to cope with this new threat. You look confident, but are you sure you're up to the challenge?
[IMG:01] A solitary fight
Hmm, well, someone with your skills should be able to handle himself in a fight. I need you to face down the Islamic detachment and take them out! You're our only hope!
[IMG:06] Islamic Detached Fleet
There has been an unexpected development in this supposedly ordinary resource delivery job. A detachment from the Islamic fleet is bearing down on this town. This is a time for action.

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.

It does, apparently. 4 of em solo

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.
