Landing on the Island

A large island to the far northeast of Qalia looms and your ship lands, crunching against the sandy shore. A sea crab scuttles out of your way as you head towards the smoke of a campfire on the southwest tip of isle. You are wary, these waters being infested with the tautariens, a lizard race of fierce warriors and shamans. The campfire is safe though, only 4 shipwrecked beings, one of them a gnome vendor, huddled about the flames. As you come closer, the Captain begins to pour out his tale of woes. You must help him, and the other victims before your quest will end.

Barbed Hooks

Captain Jourg wants you to find 15 barbed hooks. Easy enough, as they are scattered all along the beach. With care, this can be accomplished solo. Each of the shipwreck victims has quests for you. After you collect the hooks, you will give them to Wendus, who in turn has a quest. The hooks are made into barbed traps, which must then be set into fish baskets that the tautariens keep in the rocks along the cliffs. This is as dangerous as it sounds and a small group is recommended. You must also slay at least 25 of the lizard people, all level 18 3-dots or above.

Along the Way

And while you are doing these tasks, you might as well help out the last shipwreck victim, an archaelogist who needs help mapping the rock. You will visit all the spots mentioned, and receive updates as you go. After you have completed that task, she will then ask you to find some alcove mushrooms. These are inside the rock and must be reached through a cave entrance on the northside of the island. You will be fighting off mobs of 3-4 brownies with social aggro for these mushrooms, so be careful! Each quest offers a very nice weapon or armor reward, suitable for level 18-20 of all classes. It's a worthwhile task, although time-consuming. Fortunately the gnome vendor is there to provide you with repairs or to purchase your trinkets.

The Final Reckoning

There are a few more tasks to complete. You must map the inner sanctum of the Rock, a very dangerous place. Hidden on the south side of the island is the other entrance to the underground cavern. There you will find sunken ships, strange bestiary and fierce foes. It is strongly recommended that you bring a full group for this part. The mobs see through invisibility, so there is no hope there. You must collect ettercap mushrooms, krakenroots and slay many of the tautariens within. And then you face the final challenge. You must destroy the Skawlra Council and its Leader!
