Isle of Refuge Quest Guide

This is going to be a very long post. I’m going to put every quest that hasn’t been covered by Guru or myself into on post. The isle has a ton of quest… 18 in all I think including archetype selection and their quests. So sit back and enjoy the goodness.

Aquatic Research Notebook

I’d suggest being level 6 to complete this quest. To start the quest you must find the named shark Bladefin. To find Bladefin, open your map, and look for the shark fin in the bay. This is where he spawns. He is on about a 10-minute respawn so if you miss him no worries he’ll be back. He generally spawns near the fallen pillar you will see in the water. Once you find him and kill him, he will spawn a treasure chest. Upon opening the chest you will get the following items:

Aquatic Research Notebook
Earring of Disgust

After you equip your new earring, read the book. It starts a rather simple quest to kill certain aquatic creatures. You must kill the following:

Shoal glider
Needlefang
Reef Turtle
Sawtooth Shark

The task is simple enough. The only creature that may give you a problem is the sawtooth shark, since they do agro. Once you complete the quest you are told to return the samples to Malvonicus. Malvonicus is in… yes you’re guessed it, Malvonicus’ Tower. After talking to Malvonicus you receive the following:

Bracer of the Apprentice

That’s it, go away… we don’t want any Girl Scout cookies…

Cellar Cleanup

The Cellar Cleanup quest is the artisan quest on the island. To start the quest go to Malvonicus’ Tower and speak with Assistant Dreak. You will know who he is, cause he will be bitching about the cellar being a mess. After agreeing to clean up the cellar turn to your left and you will see the door that leads to the instanced cleanup quest. You must do the following to complete the first part of the quest.

Move the table, chair, mirror, and bed.
Harvest the crushed rock, and fallen log.
Get rid of the burned barrel.

Once you do this go back to Assistant Dreak. He will thank your for cleaning the cellar and ask you to craft a tin spike to be used in his lock. If you accept he’ll give you a bag full of the materials you’ll need to craft the spike.

Once you get the bag with all the materials go back into the cellar, which now has all the different crafting devices. Go up to the forge and select Tin Bar. From here just hit create and let the crafting run its course. Once you have the Tin Bar, go back to the forge and select Tin Spike and again let the crafting sequence happen. Once you have your Tin Spike in hand, go back to Assistant Dreak. He will give you the following:

Dreak’s finely crafted bracelet
Note from Dreak

The bracelet must be attuned then equipped. The note just tells you where to go to find out more about crafting. That is all for the Cellar Cleanup.

Collection Quests

There are two collection quests on the island. You must be level 3 to have the harvest ability to be able to complete this quest. The first collection quest is on the beach. You’ll notice some gold sparkling ? marks. If you double click them you will harvest them and get a shell. The shell ? marks can only be found on the beaches of the isle. Upon examining the shell you can add it to your collection. You need the following shells to complete the shell collection quest:

Abalone shell
Clam shell
Conch shell
Mussel shell
Turtle shell

After you collect all 5 of the shells, go over to the second beach where the ambassadors are and look to your right. You will see an NPC named Rivicea Goldwind. When you speak with her, tell her you have a shell collection and she will give you the following:

Collected Shell Trinket

That is all for the shell collection. Now on to the feather collection quest. All around the woods you will see the same ? marks on the ground. They will have one of 5 feathers. The feather ? marks can be found anywhere in the woods. You need to collect the following 5 feathers:

Duck feather
Eagle feather
Falcon feather
Sparrow feather
Hawk feather

Once you have collected all 5 feathers return to Rivicea Goldwind and she will give you the following:

Collected Feather Necklace

That is all for the collection quests on to the next one.

Ebik’s Missing Parts

Over on the beach where the ambassadors are you will see a Gnome named Ebik Wooblecog. If you speak to him and click through his very long story he will ask you to find his 3 missing parts… hence the name of the quest ^_^. You will have to find the following:

Size 7 clunker
Copper-coated springer
Triangle spinner

These items are rather large and kinda easy to find. The first one is located at:

Size 7 clunker is on top of the waterfall, just over the bridge. It is an area called Port View Bridge.

The second is at:

Copper-coated springer is located underwater. If you swim from the Gnome towards the starting beach you should find it. It is under water so just search between the two beaches.

The third is at:

Triangle spinner is located behind the tree house. The tree house next to the orc’s cave has big roots, and on the back of the tree between them you will see the missing part. However, the part is under a noxious cobra who is nestled in between two large roots. Kill the cobra and you can access the part!

Once you have found all 3 items return to Ebik to get the following reward:

Constructed Wrist Spanner

That’s it for Ebik, wave goodbye to the friendly little Gnome.

Lasydia’s Call

This is second quest you’ll have where a damn shark is involved. To start the quest swim past where Bladefin spawns. You’ll see a rock with some crabs on it in front of a waterfall. Directly to the right of the waterfall is a statue of Lasydia. If you double click on it you are presented with the ability to breathe underwater and have an urge to kill the following:

10 Razortooth sharks

Since you can breath underwater just go to town slaughtering the 10 sharks before the ability wears off. I think the ability lasts 15 minutes which is plenty of time to kill them. Once you kill the 10 sharks you are presented with your reward:

Castaway Sash

That is all for Lasydia… leave her alone… seriously.. put the stick down…

Stop the Saboteurs

To start this quest you have to kill one of the named goblins on the island, either the Siege Planner, or the Goblin Warmonger. When you kill them they will drop this note in a chest that tells you to go to the beach to kill them. I’d suggest taking at least a priest or another partner to kill them. They are on the beach across from the ambassador’s beach. Once you kill them you will receive the following reward:

Exceptional Goblin Crafted Helmet

That’s it once you’ve killed them and gotten your reward move on… no poking the dead bodies with a stick…

Xaliea’s Request

This quest will lead to the last 3 quests on the island I’m going to cover. To start the quest find Priestess Xaliea and speak with her. She will ask you to retrieve the following:

3 bone chips

You can find bone chips on undead that are in the graveyard. The graveyard is in the top right hand corner of the map. Basically all you need to do is kill the skeletons until you get the 3 bone chips then return to Xaliea. She will give you the following reward:

70 Copper

Now I know what you’re thinking… I did all that for a few lousy copper… Well yeah but go to the next quests and you’ll understand.

_________________________

X Marks the Spot

To be able to get this quest you must have accepted Xaliea’s quest. Keep killing the skeletons until you get a chest with treasure map. Examine the map and it tells you to go to a tombstone next to a waterfall. The tombstone is around the corner from the orc’s cave. I’d suggest bringing a full group as this guy is nasty. Once you kill Rockbelly you will get the following:

33 Copper
Old Dirty Cutlass

If you examine the Cutlass you will be presented with another task to get it fixed. Take the Cutlass to the Mender beside the banker. Pay the 40 copper and receive the real reward for this quest:

Rockbelly’s Cutlass

That is all for this quest… go poke some gobs with your new sword.

Well that is all the quests that I have. I hope you find all this info good. Please fell free to post question and corrections. The reason I didn’t post the stats of any of the gear your receive is because I’m sure they will be "modified" at launch. Thanks and have fun exploring Norrath.
