Did we miss anything on this map? Is there something we didn't discover? Let us know!
When you arrive on Spindrift Island (#1), you'll meet up with a "lighthouse gnome" named Vantabular
Garsp. He'll give you an introduction to the island, including information about Mayor Blackeye
and the Temple of Umberlee, and then he'll retire to his lighthouse (#2).
Elsewhere on the island, you'll run into Vengaul Bloodsail or Honeypea Blackriver (#4), depending
on which gang you sided with in Neverwinter. Whichever character is there will give you a quest
to retrieve the
scepter of storms from the Temple of Umberlee in Spindrift Town.
You'll also find your first treasure map (also at #4). See the Treasure Maps section for more
information.
When you've finished exploring the Sandy Spit area, head into Spindrift Town (via Exit A).
1 - Raft / Starting Point
2 - Lighthouse
You'll find Vantabular Garsp in the lighthouse. He'll offer to sell you some pirate booty. Pirate
booty always costs 100 gp, but what you'll get is random. If you manage to buy 15 pieces of booty
from the pirates of Spindrift Island, then Poly will reward you with
Poly's golden egg (see the Poly the Parrot section for details).
There is also a puzzle in the lighthouse, but you won't be able to attempt it until after you've
visited Spindrift Town. So go there and then return to the lighthouse and ask Garsp about "all of
these prisms and devices." He'll describe the puzzle to you, but for more information about it, see
the Lighthouse Puzzle section. If you can complete the puzzle, then a portal will appear leading to
a Hidden Cavern.
3 - Small Chests
You'll find random equipment in these chests.
4 - Vengaul / Honeypea / Buried Treasure
At this spot you'll either find Vengaul Bloodsail or Honeypea Blackriver, depending on which gang you
helped in Neverwinter. Both characters will do and say about the same things. They'll both tell you
that the Midnight Rose is in port, they'll both offer you pirate booty for 100 gp, they'll both act
like shopkeepers, they'll both ask you to retrieve the
scepter of storms from the Temple of Umberlee in Spindrift Town, and they'll both give you
the
treasure map -- scepter of storms to help you out. If you return with the
scepter of storms then the character here will agree to join your crew.
Next to the campfire, you should also notice some buried treasure (a chest in the sand). Inside the
chest you'll discover a
treasure map -- Sandy Spit. If you navigate the directions on the map,
you'll find a chest containing some random loot plus a
treasure map -- Blackeye's Silver (part 4
of 4). See the Treasure Maps section for more information about these two maps.
5 - Abandoned Cave
This cave works just like the caves on the tropical island, so if you have any
tinders and so
forth remaining from the island, you can use them here. Otherwise, the abandoned cave isn't very
important because you're allowed to rest anywhere on Spindrift Island, and the local shopkeepers will
have much better equipment available than anything you could construct with
sturdy sticks and
leather hides.
6 - Looted Chest
Inside the chest you'll find an
I.O.U. -- prison guard.
Exits:
- Gate to Spindrift Town.
