Myntero Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Hey guys, I'm having trouble finding chest locations for this trophy. If you find any chests, whales or naval fleets (highlighted as blue) then post up the co-ordinates and we'll see if we can help each other out and get there within the 10 hour limit. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gummiworms Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 This trophy is the bane of my exsistence right now. I have managed to find a Royal Convoy and White Whale no problem, but I cannot find a social treasure to save my life. From what I've seen though is that people who go this trophy early, like within the first week of realease, they seem to of got it no problem. So many people have been reporting major issues though. If anyone knows where they found their social chests it would help me a lot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myntero Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/assassins-creed-iv-black-flag/219741-share-your-discovery-ps4-only.html Have a look at this forum, a lot of confusion I think was people assuming it was the same locations across both PS3 and PS4. THIS is a PS4 devoted forum for you to have a look at. Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gummiworms Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Holy Hell, just found a social chest at location 615, 831 Abaco Island. Good luck and happy hunting. When I found the white whale I was around the middle part of the game. As for a Royal Convoy check out 226, 424 and 130, 201. That is where they are popping up for me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLamb858 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Forgive my ignorance here, but this trophy isn't making sense for me. I have almost all of the single player part of the game beaten but all I've seen is the Royal Covoy cruising around sometimes and I do push up on the D-pad when I see them. I have seen that these can only be found in "community events" but I don't know what those are. Is that something just in multiplayer over a given weekend or something? Again, sorry for my noob question but this is my 1st AC game (I like it so much that it makes me wish I played the previous ones though). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gummiworms Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 So the way this trophy works is there are 3 different types of "Social Discoveries". These discoveries are Royal Convoys, White Whales, and Social Treasures. From what I can tell you need to be online and make sure you are connected to the uplay server (the game automatically connects you when you load up the game). Basically these discoveries are scattered throughout peoples games and when found they blast the location of the discovery to all their friends (you don't necessarily need friends for this but I imagine it would help, I did this with no AC4 friends). So basically just cruise around in the single player portion of AC4 and these discoveries should pop up throughout the course of your game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLamb858 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 So I played a lot more last night and actually beat the main story and I still haven't seen anything. I read that all you have to do is be signed into the PSN but I always am when I play. I figured that the problem may have been that I didn't have a Uplay account and at the beginning of each time I started the game, I just skipped the registration. I started an account last night so hopefully that was the problem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheonix343 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I think it is fairly random. The first time a saw a social chest was during the story mission "Trust is Earned" in Sequence 9. That is the only time I have seen one, and the one I got my trophy with 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissSouthampton Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I guess I won't be able to get this trophy as I cannot connect to Uplay on the single player side of it. I can on multiplayer. It just tells me to contact support. I just completed the game yesterday and haven't seen anything but convoys. (Whether they are shared ones, I don't know) Does it work by someone on your friends list sharing the location? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrBloodmoney Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I was having trouble finding social chests, until I got the diving bell. Then I found like 6 in the span of an hour, as there seem ro be loads in the smuggler dens that you access from underwater. Anyone having difficulty with this should try there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Whether they are shared ones, I don't know) Does it work by someone on your friends list sharing the location? I wish I could answer your question but I'm having trouble myself. One thing I can tell you though is that you can check to see if the event was shared by going to the pause menu - Abstergo Challenges - Simulation. The challenge is to share 3 of each event but the trophy only requires one but I found this is a good way to check. So I finally started an account and connected to Uplay 2 days ago. So I wanted to see if this was the problem and I went over to a Royal Convoy on my map and looked at it by pressing up on the D-pad to share the event. After a little time and my sinking the ship, I checked the challenge and it still shows 0/3 Royal Convoys shared. Plus I noticed that I have shared a social chest that I have no recollection of finding. Still no white whales either. I DO NOT understand this trophy.

MissSouthampton Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Lol, well...I solved one issue, which is so not next gen of Ubisoft and that is because I had 150 odd friends I couldn't connect to Uplay (PS4) so I actually deleted friends down to 97 and lo and behold I can now connect to Uplay. I have completed the game and apparently if you have completed the story they don't show...sigh. It would be OK if the naval missions unlocked earlier in the story :/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavinVaughan- Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Guys there are loads of people having issues with these social events especially on the PS4 version. I myself are one of them. However PLamb858 you cant share the Royal Convoy's that are indicated in WHITE they have to be BLUE. All social events are indicated in BLUE not WHITE & they are shared automatically. Hope this clears up a few things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWRM_Decay Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I only have 3 people in my friends list and only one has a ps4 and plays black flag occasionally. Do they need to be online and/ or playing the game at the same time for me to share it with them? .....I've been playing for about 20 hours so far and haven't found any of these. I haven't been specifically looking for them but surprised I haven't stumbled across any yet with as much exploring as I've done. Also when you say they show up as "blue" do you mean they will be on the map as blue? Guess I'm a little confused on it too. I've been reading several threads on this but not much specifics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissSouthampton Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I will keep an eye on that map but if you can't connect to the server so they appear, which is my case, it's pretty useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asuka Langley Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Welp, you might as well go back to multiplayer because as stated in the latest reply to this thread: http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/818467-Help-with-the-sharing-is-caring-trophy-PS4 It is a glitch, and its affecting all systems it just started around the time PS4 came out, social events are not occurring for anyone for the past several weeks so the sharing is caring trophy is currently impossible to get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLamb858 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I went through and beat the whole story and then learned that these social events can't be seen on that save file so I recently created a new one and started over. I finally saw my 1st white whale on it though! It was during a mission in sequence 3 I think. I would have posted its location on here to help out but I wasn't near a computer and it was going to disappear in like 4 hours anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damon8r351 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Sooo what you're saying is, people that have been having issues could probably start a new file and not have problems? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
