This Trammel quest begins with Finlor the Sea Captain at the Horse's Head Tavern in Jhelom. Finlor needs you to gather a few items for him and he will gladly make you a Mystical Sextant of Control. Along the way you will meet some of his old shipmates who will also have tasks for you. Ahoy! Do you traverse the wild seas of Britannia? If you do, I have an item that might be of great interest to you.
For you see, I have discovered how to fashion certain items into a magical sextant that will aid you while traveling the Seas of Britannia. If you are interested, I can give you a special Seafarer's Tool Kit and you can put the necessary items into it. Once this is done, bring me the completed tool kit and I can fashion a Mystical Sextant for you. This sextant will allow you to control your vessel without shouting out commands to your lazy tiller man. But before I give you this Seafarer's Tool Kit, you must first do something for me. Take this Sea Chest. There are 4 artifacts that are of great value to a seaman such as myself. Rumor has it that some of my old shipmates have acquired them. These rare items are an Enchanted Rope, a Special Sea Map, a Glowing Ship Model, and a Sacred Anchor. If you put these items into the Sea Chest, then that will give you a Full Master of the Sea Chest! Bring this back to me and I will be the envy of all those who sail on the high seas! When you return to me with the Full Master of the Sea Chest, I will then give you the Seafarer's Tool Kit. You must then find the necessary items needed for me to create your Mystical Sextant. But first, take this letter to one of my old shipmates named Orthal. He roams around one of the docks in Britain. He is known to hold the first artifact, the Enchanted Rope. This letter will let him know that I sent you to retrieve this from him. Once you receive it, make sure to find out where the other 3 artifacts are located. Now go, and fill the Sea Chest with the 4 artifacts that I have requested!" Bring Orthal the letter from Finlor so that he may give you the enchanted rope. I see that Finlor wishes for you to retrieve the Enchanted Rope from me. Very well, but first I must ask something of you.
I am having problems with a certain breed of goats that come into my farmland outside of Britain and devastate a special type of lettuce that I am now growing. They are known to most in these parts as Enraged Goats. This special type of lettuce is called Britain Lettuce. Unfortunately, these goats have taken it all, therefore, I cannot grow anymore of this lettuce unless I have at least one head of this particular lettuce. If you could bring me a Head of Britain Lettuce, then I can start growing this special lettuce again, and I will gladly part ways with this Enchanted Rope. Sound like a fair trade? If so, find these goats and see if you can find one of them with a Head of Britain Lettuce in their mouths. Slay them and retrieve it for me. Then I will trade you that head of lettuce for this old rope. I believe that they come across the mountains to the west of the farmlands. Go through the mountain pass to the west of the farmlands, and see if you can find them. If you accomplish this task, I will be forever indebted to you. Now please, try to find me a Head of Britain Lettuce from one of these Enraged Goats! Find the enraged goats in the farmland outside of Britain and bring a Head of Britain Lettuce back to Orthal. When you bring the lettuce back to Orthal he will give you the Enchanted Rope and direct you to Kyvon of Nujel'm for your next item. So Orthal has told you of a map that I hold? Yes it is true.
This map I hold is a Special Sea Map that can only be read by the most skilled of sailors. If Finlor truly desires this, then so be it. However, I must first ask you for a favor.... Recently this town has been overrun by vermin. In the northern part of this town, there are Deadly Rats that have taken over the deserted homes. I do not have a problem with rats, but they are sneaking into my home in the middle of the night and eating some experimental cheese that I have been creating. This cheese that I am researching is called Molded Cheese, and can hopefully be used as a great source of food for long voyages on the high seas. Now they have taken my last wheel of cheese, and my experiment will not be completed. But if you can help rid us of them, you might find some of this Molded Cheese still on them. If you can find me one wheel of this cheese, I will be more than happy to give you the Special Sea Map that you seek. That is the best I can offer you. Search in the deserted part of this town to the north. Please bring me some of this cheese so I may continue with my experiment. Kill the Deadly Rats and retrieve the Molded Cheese for Kyvon and he will reward you with the Special Sea Map and send you to see Sevargas in Vesper. Sevargas also needs your assistance before he will hand over any of his treasure! I see that Kyvon has sent a request for me to give you the Glowing Ship Model. Very well.
You seem to be the strong type. I must request that you assist me before I part with this ship model. A couple of days ago, I was fishing off of these docks and caught the biggest fish I have ever seen. It must have been a record. But as soon as I pulled the fish onto the docks, a group of Frenzied Mongbats swooped in and stole it from me. Now no one believes me when I tell them of the Humongous Fish that I caught. If you could find these Frenzied Mongbats and retrieve this Humongous Fish for me, I will give you this Glowing Ship Model with no questions asked. The last I have heard, they have made their home in Windemere Woods to the North of the city, on the east side of the bay. Kill them to see if you can find one of them that holds my Humongous Fish and I will trade you for this Glowing Ship Model. Find the Frenzied Mongbats in Windmere Woods to the North of the city and bring the Humongous Fish back to Sevargas so that his friends will believe him and he will trade you the Glowing Ship Model. Once you return the fish to Sevargas he directs you to the shipmate in Trinsic that holds the Sacred Anchor. So Sevargas wishes for me to hand over the Sacred Anchor to you? My old Captain Finlor must be desperate.
However, a much more pressing matter is upon me that I must attend to. Perhaps if you can help me, I will give you this Sacred Anchor. Barrier Isle, the peninsula on the east side of this city, has recently been overrun by some Dreaded Wolves. They were only a mere nuisance at first, but now they have begun stealing our local hens that lay abnormally large eggs. These eggs are critical to our local food supply. If you don't mind, please go to the peninsula just outside of the city and kill them. If you can bring me back a group of Large Eggs from them, I will give you the final artifact that Finlor seems to so desperately desire. Now you should have all four items, double-click your Sea Chest and bring the full chest back to Finlor in Jhelom. Finlor is grateful for the Full Master of the Sea chest and gives you a Seafarer's Tool Kit to collect the tools you will need for him to make you a Mystical Sextant of Control. Splendid! Splendid indeed!
Now all of Britannia will know that I am the true Master of the Sea! Well, I see that you have lived up to your word, so now I will live up to mine! Take this Seafarer's Tool Kit. This will allow me to use my skills and build the Mystical Sextant from 4 special items. You must retrieve these particular items for me as well. My old crew specialized in building 3 of these items. These items are a Reinforced Hinge, a Sturdy Axle, and some Steel Gears. Also, my old Commodore, Arathan, holds a Gem of Control that is the last item necessary to fashion the Mystical Sextant. If you retrieve all 4 of these items, place them into the Seafarer's Tool Kit to give you a Completed Seafarer's Tool Kit. Bring this back to me and I will fashion a Mystical Sextant for you. Take this letter to another one of my old shipmates named Snyden. He is routinely patrolling the docks in Cove. He was a master at building your first item, the Reinforced Hinge. This letter will let him know that I sent you to retrieve this from him. Once you receive it, make sure to find out where the other 3 necessary items are located. Bring the letter from Finlor to Snyden at the docks in Cove. Snyden will make you a Reinforced Hinge but he will need your help first. Finlor sends you? I suppose he desires me to fashion for you a Reinforced Hinge that I specialize in creating.
So be it. But first you must help the locals here in Cove. We depend much on the city of Vesper for our local supplies. However, there are some Decaying Zombies that occupy some ruins along one of our main secret routes through the woods to the East of this town. They frighten our caravans and prevent many of our supplies from reaching us. If you can assist us in eradicating this group of zombies, I will gladly take the time to fashion a Reinforced Hinge for you. Find one of the zombies which have recently sprung up and has not decayed very much, and bring me a head as proof of your assistance. Most of the zombies are too decayed to retrieve a head, but keep trying. I am most certain you will be successful. If I receive a Decaying Head, I will make you the Reinforced Hinge that you desire. Slay the Decaying Zombies until you receive a Decaying Head and bring the head back to Snyden Snyden is grateful for your help and gives you a Reinforced Hinge. Snyden also gives you a letter to bring to Barthus in Skara Brae so that he may make you a Sturdy Axle. I see that Snyden sends you to retrieve a Sturdy Axle from me. I still remember how to make them.
However, we are in desperate need of a strong fighter such as yourself. Our local ale shipments typically arrive from Britain via land. However, lately there has been a group of Drunken Orcs that have been stealing from the caravans of ale from Britain. Now we must receive our ale shipments via the sea, which takes much more time for them to arrive, and is much more costly to us. We are almost out of ale, and the next shipment of ale is not set to arrive for more than a week. We must deal with these Drunken Orcs. If you can help us rid our supply route of these monsters, I will take the time to craft a Sturdy Axle for you. You can find them on the mainland, just to the east of the Ranger Huts that guard this city. Bring me back a Keg of British Ale and I will fashion a Sturdy Axle for your sextant. I can only hope that you find one of the kegs of ale from them. Hopefully they have not consumed all of the last shipment. Now go and rid us of this threat. Return to me when you have acquired a Keg of British Ale from them. East of the Ranger Huts you will find the drunken orcs. Kill them for a Keg of British Ale and bring it back to Barthus. Barthus will create you a Sturdy Axle in exchange for the Keg of British Ale and send you off with a letter to see Caztor in Serpent's Hold. Barthus sends you? He must know that you are a strong warrior. Interesting. Interesting indeed.
Tell you what. If you can help us with a dire problem, I will build a set of Steel Gears that Barthus requested of me in this letter. Recently, some Water Serpents have been coming onto the peninsula to the south of us. With each passing day, they are becoming ever more aggressive. They have even ventured into our stronghold lately, attacking our citizens. If you can help us get rid of them, I will build a set of Steel Gears for your sextant. Kill them until you find a Deep Sea Scale from one of them. Bring this Deep Sea Scale to me and I will build your set of Steel Gears. Please make haste! We have no time to lose! Find the Water Serpents on the peninsula to the south of Serpent's Hold and retrieve a Deep Sea Scale for Caztor. Caztor gives you the Steel Gears needed to make your sextant and supplies you with a letter and directions to meet with Commodore Arathan in Buccaneer's Den. I see Caztor is requesting that I give up the Gem of Control to you.
I have no need for this item. However, before I give it up, I must ask your assistance in helping us bring a criminal to justice. A few days ago, a bloody pirate named Rackham snuck into my home and stole a precious Seafaring Bracelet from me. We have tracked him down to this island. So far, he has evaded us. If you can help us hunt him down and kill him, then you should find the Seafaring Bracelet that he stole from me. Return this to me, and I will give you the Gem of Control that you need. Now go! Help us hunt this criminal Rackham down on this island and bring him to justice! After killing Rackham and returning Commodore Arathan's Seafaring Bracelet you will have all the tools you need. Double-click your Seafarer's Tool Kit and return the Complete Seafarer's Tool Kit to Finlor for your Mystical Sextant of Control. This quest can be done as many times as you like. The Mystical Sextant of Control is NOT blessed. The sextant is simply a device to help the sailors of Britannia. Using the sextant will provide you with a menu gump that will control your tiller man with a click! The Mystical Sextant of Control can be used to easily tell your tiller man to turn, raise anchor, lower anchor or go in any of the many directions. This item is helpful for our seafaring adventurers. |
