The Lost Map  

I've completed 4 of these in the past week for my alts. Nowadays Iceclad is empty. I got one for my Berzerker, Ranger, Warrior, and Monk, all in their late 40's. I also used my 73 SK for killing Lodizal and to lay waste to dire wolves to spawn the Dire Wolf Stalker. So here's a few thoughts on this:

1. Lodizal spawns on a regualar basis every 10+ hours or so and wanders around island #2 by the gnoll tents and ToFS. Green to my 73 SK. He is no longer camped much.

2. Stormfeather does seem to spawn on a 19+ hour respawn. I just parked my altt there and after 20 hours or so logged in every 2 hours. He is no longer camped either.

3. The Dire Wolf Stalker was the biggest pain. It spawns on island #3 when you kill a bunch of dire wolves. My 47 ranger got 1.5 lvls killing green's! :(. Finally I wised up and brought in the SK to lay waste to the wolf population and the stalker would spawn...occasionally. Having a pocket ranger for tracking really helps. This part took the longest because you couldn't just login, check, and logout. You have to be continuously killing the wolves until the rare spawns. Doing it with low lvl alts that actually get experience is going to be slower than just slaying every wolf with a higher level because the respawns will be slower.

4. Killing Tizmaks to get 4 'parts' is tedious but easy. Lots of velium weapons for pets or to sell for 5pp.

5. Bloodmaw turnin. This was strange. First my monk. He did the "run up, give a piece of meat, and FD" trick and it worked as advertised. Just gave the rest of the pieces in the still open UI window and BM despawned and I got the piece of the map from the gnome. They both respawn within about 5 mins. With my 48 ranger he used his Calm Animal spell (which is a lot lower than 48) and that worked just fine for the turn in. For my zerker and warrior though..things went strangely. I had a lvl 75 ranger come in and try to calm Bloodmaw. He conned indif to me, but simply would not take the meat. After quite a few tries, including different spells, the ranger brought in a DRU alt and the druid was able to do what the ranger could not, and I did the turnins for both of my alts. I have no idea why my low lvl ranger could make Calm Animal work, and the high lvl ranger couldn't make her's work. Baffling. Either the different lvl spells behave differently on Bloodmaw, or the level of the caster is the trick, or, if the caster is not the meat-giver maybe that has something to do with it.

Oh I also tried using a potion to look like an Elf but Bloodmaw was still aggressive. I thought, years ago, that had helped with a turnin, but I guess I was wrong. Or had the wrong faction. I wonder if a SHM in bear form could do the turn in?


After all that turn ins to the pirates happened and I got the eyepatch on all 4 of my melee alts. It's still a great item after all these years as a) it never runs out of charges, b) stacks with haste armor (but supposedly not with haste potions), and is great for melee types that are solo'ing and need a bit of extra help, or want faster kills. Good deal for those with dual wield.

Eyepatch of Plunder definately doesn't stack with Distillate of Alacrity X.. the potion overwrote the Captain Nalot's Quickening

6360.26, 1005.91, -34.36

I have heard tons of spawn times on Stormfeather so here is the real scoop. I have eyepatch on 12 toons btw and have just gotten stormfeather for the 4th straight spawn so i know =P He is a 30-36 hour spawn. Get there at 30 hours after he is killed and sit there for 6 hours. If he doesn't skip you will get him. I know he used to skip but he doesn't seem to anymore. Anyway that's the way you do it.

The third part of the map in GD can be MQ'd. I just did it for my Shadow Knight. BST friend turned in the meat and I said the trigger phrase. Yay!

Here's my log extract, minus the actual timestamps...


[] You say, 'Hail, Ami'

[] Ami flips through a few pages of a small book, reading intently before answering you. 'Ye scurvy dog. I'll strike yer colors 'fore ya can put me on a gibbet. Take that, ya crimp!' She flips through a few more pages then smiles at you. 'Arrrr!'

Humor Ami by playing along...

[] You say, 'Ye scurvy dog!'

[] Ami grins. 'Hey, that's pretty good. You did it without a book too. Nice to meet you. I'm the bosun here.'

[] You say, 'What is a Bosun?'

[] Ami says 'Yup. I think it means I'm in charge of the flag cause that's what the Cap'n told me to take care of. I'm the one who made our symbol, so I get to protect it. I even got my own copy of the grammar manual so I can practice my pirate speech.'

[] You say, 'What kind of grammar manual?'

[] Ami nods and shows you the book for a moment. 'We don't have many of them and usually we share. My book is missing a chapter, though.'

[] You say, 'What chapter is missing?'

[] Ami nods. 'A mate of mine borrowed the P Chapter to draw a map on but then he went and got himself lost. I've memorized the rest of the book but that chapter. Oh, well, I guess I can get by with what I have. Walk the mizenmast and batten down the boom!' She looks at you proudly. 'Good, eh? I'm one of the best pirates we have.'

[] You begin tracking a lost pirate.

[] You say, 'Hail, a lost pirate'

[] a lost pirate twitches and growls a little. 'Arrr. Grrr. Ahoy, mate. The name's Teep.' He shivers and you notice a little drool at the corner of his mouth. 'Ya ain't lost out here too, are ya?'

[] You say, 'Where is chapter P?'

[] a lost pirate stares at the water. 'I'm rememberin' that. Yah. Ami's book. Thats what I drew, erm, the fifth part o'n. It got lost in the ocean too.' He looks at you. 'Yer wantin' ta go out and find all o' these pieces?'

[] You say, 'Can I just have the map instead? :p'

[] a lost pirate nods. 'After we got ourselves stuck on this island I got it in me head to draw up a map so none o' the crew would ever get lost. So I set myself to explorin' and drawin'. Now the map is gone. Too bad, too, cause it was a map o' the whole place, not just the first island, but a bunch o' parts.' Mention of the map seems to have sobered him up a bit.

[]You say, 'I will find the parts'

[] a lost pirate laughs. 'Its yer funeral, boyo. I'm not even sure they're readable. Oh, well. Here, take this. It's the cover of the book I was puttin' the map in. If ya get the first four parts, put em in there. If ya get the fifth, just go give it ta Ami the way ya find it. Hey, if ya find em all, come get me so I can find me way back. I'm thinkin' I'd like ta go back now.'

Recieve the 'Map Binding' in which you place the first four parts of that Iceclad Map



[] You have fashioned the items together to create something new!

Hand him the combined map...

[] a lost pirate grins widely and slaps you on the arm. 'Har har! You're crazier than I am. And since I know that I must not be that crazy after all. Ahh, I haven't felt this good in ages..' He shuffles the pieces and jots down a few notes here and there. 'There, now it's really finished. Let's get us outta here. Hold this fer me.' As he starts to try and crawl up the hill, a sleek figure darts towards him.

[] You gain experience!!

He will hand the completed map back to you...

A 'rabid snow cougar' spawns and aggros. Despite the text, the lost pirate does not actually go anywhere. After you kill the cougar (not that it seems to matter if you do or don't) its time to go see Captain Nalot...

[]You say, 'Hail, Captain Nalot'

[] Captain Nalot squints at you through one eye, the other covered by a metallic eyepatch. 'Garrr. What `ave we here? Another beller yellied land blubber eh? By the looks of ye someones mudder didnt know when ta throw a bad fish back. HAR HAR!'

[] You say, 'What do you mean, bad fish?'

[] Captain Nalot says 'That means I'm callin ya ugly as a piece o' whale blubber but twice as bad smellin, ya son of a water treadin dark elf. Yer about as smart as the slime we use ta patch our boat hull, aren't ya?'

[] You say, 'Where is this boat of yours?'

[] Captain Nalot says 'Arrrr. So we ain't got a boat right now. What's that got ta do with anythin'? Just cause we ain't got a boat, or a way to sail the waters, or even know how ta sail, don't mean we aren't crusty and dangerous. Just watch yerself cause we're mean.'

[] You say, 'You're mean?'

[] Captain Nalot says 'Thats right! We're mean, nasty, devious 'n cruel. We'll knock ya down, bite yer knees, and steal yer money. Arrr. We won't always say please and thank you either! Just remember that and don't be tryin' anyhin' funny.'

[] You say, 'What do you consider funny?'

[] Captain Nalot says 'Uh, I dunno what funny stuff. No one's ever asked that one. You know, just be nice ta everyone I guess. Think ya can do that?'

Well, the only thing I have of any use to him is this map that the pirate gave to me.... Hmm, pirates like maps... who knows maybe there's burried treasure marked on it or something.

Hand Captain Nalot the completed map...

[] Captain Nalot squints and then knocks hard on the metal half of his face to get his eye back in adjustment.. 'Arrr. This is perfect. Har! Now we can be plannin' our pillagin' and plunderin' all proper like. Good work, Kyrros!' Captain Nalot slaps you on the back and accidentally drops his eyepatch. Being a proper pirate now you conveniently forget to mention it to him.

[] You gain experience!!


Hehe, who says being a pirate doesn't have its rewards... :p
