Notes[]

Apart from the Gold Hoarder's Skull that can be sold to any Order of Souls Representatives and Ashen Artefacts and Chest of Everlasting Sorrow sold to Gold Hoarders, none of the Tall Tale Quest Items have value to anyone other than the people attempting the Tall Tale. Therefore it is seen as bad form to steal these items from other crews as Tall Tales can take several hours to complete.
Once a Quest Item is lost to the sea, blown up or disappears, the Tall Tale will fail.
Due to the long length of Tall Tales, it is considered bad form to willingly hide or get rid of other Crew's Quest Items.
