Pathfinding in booty bay is fine, but once in the water the bot cant get out and continues to try to make a path upwards. Even with an offmesh connection on the ramp up it doesnt work. Sometimes it bugs so much the pathfinding starts going with the bot up the coast and then dies infinitely to the pirate mobs that are 40+.

Anyone know a solution?

I have the same problem.

I blacklisted really much around in the Water and used the off mesh connector to generate the path (worked like 75-25 ish)

 

But guess you could do something like follow path before turnin the questes.
