Am I doing something wrong??
This is not your typical "I can't sync to Brotherhood" post, I promise.
I didn't really feel like playing the Project Legacy Facebook game. At least not right now, I probably will later. So I just signed up for the game and had a friend who played through the game and had an abundance of them, send me 2 Venetian and 2 Medici capes as gifts. Got them though the PL email.
My UPlay is synched to Facebook and my XBox live profile. I know that's all working. And I am loading my game file with the synch first option.
However, the capes are still not showing up.
Anyone know what the problem is? Or is the "gifting" thing not a valid option?
you have to complete the Auditore Trail Mnemonic Set and activate it, look on AC Wikia for some details on it. Basically you have to collect Florence, Venice and 2 other flags or some item. I forget exactly and then once you have all 4 activate them. The pain about them is there is 1 flag per chapter. So you have to get to the 4th chapter at least to get the Auditore Trail set completed.
Also you are missing out if you don't play PL yourself because every 4 hours you get to assign 75XP to your Assassin Recruits. Plus you can unlock contract missions and stuff for them to go on.
You unlock contract missions in Brotherhood? Or in PL? I know you can unlock XP and florins for use in Brotherhood through PL. Truthfully...I don't think I like that. Seems a bit like cheating the system to me.
The capes are really all I care about. I have all the outfits (including Helmschmied Drachen), the 2 extra maps and all MP characters (Harlequin & Officer). I'm a completionist that way. I like the WHOLE game and everything in it.
I've decided I will play PL. Sounds like fun, actually. I've been on FB for over 2 years and never played a FB game before. I always figured that's what I have my XBox for. 
You just unlock missions to send your guys on, nothing thats really cheating the system. The 75XP really helps when your guys are brand new, like rank 1 or 2. Plus you can do it when you're away from home! 
Let me know if I helped with the capes, just complete that Auditore Trail Mnemonic Set, activate it, then go back to Brotherhood and Sync it.
For anyone else interested, I've found that going to the Contracts section on Project Legacy will also give you the flags (Florence, Flori, Venice and Rome) one by one, however the drops as to which one you get are random. So it's good for getting them, but as far as getting specific flags for the full Auditore Trails Mnemonic Set I would recommend referencing the ACPL Wikia. The wikia has it listed in which Memories on PL you can find specific flags.
I've been doing the Contracts Section a bunch and now I have 4 full Auditore Trail sets, they refill your AP when executed, but I really have been playing PL a bit too much. So if anyone wants them to unlock the Medici and Venetian Capes just LMK, I'll gift you the Auditore Trail set, I just have to add you to Facebook and you have to let me invite you to the game. 
I read there's some connection between owning the Colosseum (you can buy it in the Rome Memories) in PL and AC:B, but I haven't noticed what that is.
That's exactly what I tried to do the first time and they didn't show up in Brotherhood. Do you have any ideas how to go about getting them to show up in-game?
The best thing I can think of is, on Project Legacy, go to Equipment > Mnemonic Set > Auditore Trail and click on Execute.
I did that and directly after clicking on Execute went back to Brotherhood and Synced and got my Capes.
Also make sure you link your Facebook account to your Uplay account on uplay.com. Login on the website and then go to your profile in the top right corner and click on Edit, from there you will see Social Networks. Just link your Facebook account. That should do it.
I found that owning buildings in ACPL and ACB like COLOSSEO and TERME DI DIOCLEZIANO give you a about a $17000 bonus per building once you Sync your accounts.
It says Level 3 when I try to click on it. So I guess I have to play the game some first. That's OK. About how much time do you have to play before the Auditore Trail set gets unlocked?
It worked. Got to level 3, checked in equipment, combined my gifted trail, synched up, and the capes are now in Brotherhood. I now have all outfits. Thanks!
