Three-Barrel Cove - Explorer's Map

[VonBek]

I found two the first day: A minotaur right on the docks outside of the tavern & a sahaugin chieftain a bit away along the shoreline, just north of the marketplace tent crescent.

Spoilers:

1. The Mino is called Scorchtusk.
2. The Sahaugin is Brine.
3. A hyena named Chortle is in close proximity to Rakham's Trial. Admiral Anker appears in Admiral Anker's Camp (I know how surprising that sounds...)
4. Draw a line due south of the Crescent. Draw a line due west of Black Loch. The island just south of that intersection has a Scrag, a Rare named Dulse.
5. From the Orc Pirates Stronghold, go to the north end of the valley to find another, Hafgrim.

Has anyone found a rare encounter in Three-Barrel Cove?

I loved exploring 3BC. Thanks to the help of great guildmates I have one permadeath character with all explorer points and all rares. Still need to do two of the new quests, but I am going with a lower level character for Ghost of a Chance and the other one (completed Two-Toed Tobias).

Found a very friendly Troll called Dulse, on the raised island to the west of the Black loch. Took a while to kill as I had to wander through my inventory trying to find something firey. The Island inhabited by lots of Shaughin, and you need to go for a cooling swim to get there.

BTW Thanks for the map, I groaned when I realized you have to wander around to get to some the new and old quests, this will help when others of my guild organize themselves for a sunny tour of the place.

1. IlmarinTychonn Pirate Captain
2. Dybesh Relix First Mate no chest
3. Hafgrim Moonhowler, Bugbear Shanty Singer
4. Scorchtusk Minotaur on the Docks, right by the tavern
5. Captain Dustdyn, Orc Pirate Captain
6. Chortle, Hyena Packmaster
7. Lacerator, Scorpion on beach just west of Legend of Two Toed Tobias
8. Vitia, Darkfang Slayer, a Spider
9. Thrum Ancient Earth Elemental
10. Brine Sahaugin CHieftain
11. Dulse, Troll Champion of the Devourer
12. Admiral Ancker, Kobold Sea Captain
13. Cannoneer Strinati, Fallen Captain, just west of Legend of Two Toed Tobias

There is a named thief, Ithun Orenah, Tiefling Master Assassin, CR 7, Native Outsider, over near the Whispering Wind, behind a hidden/disguised/camouflaged shrine, that has a chest. Could this be a 14th rare but DDO could not count?

Where is rare #1 located? The only I can't find...

The rares here aren't too tough, but dangerous enough if you aren't paying attention.

Go up to the Pirate Air Ship. He is either there or wenching and consuming vast quantities of ale.

Nice map!

I would like to point out that the Lady Luck is no airship, however. . .

Nice landscape!

Really, the best part of any of this new content is the phenomenal-looking landscapes you make. It'll be a sad day if/when you ever get transferred/hired away/burned out.

I always liked 3BC before the modification. When the game was new I would bring guildies and random PUGs out to it to do the adventures and always got a lot of "cool area" comments.

I like the new 3BC even better.

Great job devs. Keep up the work and please keep adding more outdoor areas for all levels. (What about the Black Anvil Forrest? That could be a great area with some more "walk up" quests in it for level 9 to 11ish characters)

Thanks.

On the original topic: I have a very similar map

[SeptaScarabae]

I'll had to keep an eye out for them. I swear I was in almost every nook and cranny in Three-Barrel and didn't find a single one.

Full map, minus a shrine or two:

Great map, Pwesiela, thanks for the link. I wished I noticed we went on to page two of this thread.

[SeptaScarabae]

Just added in the rare spawns. Thanks UnderwearModel and Pwesiela.

I kept killing the Tiefling assassin and not getting credit for a rare encounter. Now I know it is a hyena packmaster that is my last rare. I really like the ablity to go back and finish off the adventure areas regardless of level.

[suitepotato]

Thanks for the map. There's plenty of places you can get with a high enough jump and even a jump spell, or run long way around and find the path, but the in-game mapping system is very deceptive and even with this map, you gotta do a lot of exploring to figure out how to get there so this doesn't spoil a lot.

Maybe in the future we'll get other large areas and heck, this area could have some future high level quests tossed in. Really, who thought the new highest power quests would be under the old marketplace? We could see level 25 quests someday out there.

[Therron]

this is a really cool place far better fun than another expresso 30min Delerias tomb run for the 5th time or the usual tangleroot

[Orion]

Thanks for a great map. Got a few questions.

I have run all around the area you state the wheeping cove is in and cant seem to get it.
I have also swam around, under, through the rocks marking the elusive bounty and it does not register for me.

Any advice?

There's an inlet just past the lighthouse with scorpions on the beaches, skellies in the shallows, and a wreck just off in deep water. Go to the aft end of the wreck and dive straight down. There's an underwater canyon down there that leads right to it, swimming toward the wreck. You'll run right into the Wheeping Cove entrance if you swim along the bottom of the canyon.

It really helps to have an amulet of underwater action with this quest.

[Rerednaw]

Yes thanks for the map!
