Quest Items are special items that are acquired and used during Tall Tales and special Voyages. Their shape can vary, appearing as Keys, Totems, Medallions, Trinkets, Skulls, or Equipment.

Most of these items can not be sold for gold, with a few marked exceptions.

Types of Quest Items[]

Although each Tall Tale has unique Items tied to its completion, they can roughly be categorized as follows:

Equippable Quest Items[]

These are the various unique Equipment items or tools that you acquire during certain Tall Tales. These are special and modified Compasses, Spyglasses, Lanterns or other tools that need to be used to solve the puzzles of the Tall Tales. While these items mimic Equipment items, they can only be accessed via the Map Radial Inventory and are usable only during the specific Tall Tales. These Equipment Items are as follows:

Keys[]

Totem Keys[]

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.
