Ahoy folks, and welcome to my guide on the Raven's Cove Story Quest.
DISCLAIMER: This Questline is unlocked for any pirate among hitting Level 30. You will be unable to obtain the quest prior.
I. You are not required to do any pre-requisite Quests, including Weapon Unlocks, to be able to start Raven's Cove.
Step 1: Talk to Jack Sparrow.
(For anyone interested in the actual story, I would recommend reading his dialogue instead of skipping straight through.
Step 2: Sail to Raven's Cove.
Raven's Cove can be found to the direct Northwest of Cuba, which can be easily accessed by completing your Cuba Teleportation Totem.
Step 3: Make your way to the Town inside the heart of Raven's Cove.
Upon arriving, talk to the NPC Crazy Ned to begin doing your part on the cursed island.
Step 4: Help the Raven's Cove Ghosts:
Found back down the incline from the main town where you meet Crazy Ned, you will find a number of abandoned buildings, one of which will house our first friendly spirit that needs assistance.
Inside her own reside, Widow Threadbarren's favor is hard earned, and upon talking to her, she will request for you to remove a number of Jolly's skeleton menaces from the waters of the Caribbean. In specific, she'll want you to defeat..
5 Storm Reapers,
5 Phantoms,
& 7 Revenants.
Storm Reapers are a fairly common spawn around the islands of Raven's Cove itself, as well as Isla Perdida and Padres Del Fuego.
Phantoms can be found commonly encircling Cuba, Driftwood Isle, and Isla Tormenta, as well as sometimes drifting toward Isla Perdida as well.
Finally, Revenants are a fairly common sighting around the SvS Islands of Ile d'Etable de Porc & Isla de la Avaricia, as well as occasionally being found near Rumrunner's Isle.
⚠WARNING: If you are inexperienced in sailing, or do not have an adequate ship to take on these War Frigates on your lonesome, it is recommended to ask for help, as they are tough to take down for unlevelled Sailing & Cannons!
After you've bargained the materials gathered from Jolly Roger's ships, head back to Crazy Ned to be able to continue helping the spirits.
Your second spirit to assist will take you into the heart of the small town of Raven's Cove. As you enter coming from the dock, to the left will be a manor of sorts, rugged, but standing. Walk inside via the door on the left side, and you will be greeted with your next damsel.
Upon entering, you will meet Señor Fantifico! Desperate as the poor man is, save him, he requests you to speak with Tia Dalma within the Pantano River in Cuba's bayou.
Upon speaking to the Voodoo Enchantress among the waters of Cuba, you will be tasked with recovering a few odd items, specifically:
6 Twisted Roots from Twisted Stumps,
10 Giant Bladders from Huge Alligators,
& 8 Fat Chickens from Navy Dreadnoughts.
Twisted Stumps can be found exclusively on Outcast Isle, a hellscape of barren land found just Southeast of Cuba.
⚠: It is recommended to find a friend to help if you are doing this portion at Level 30, as the enemies on Outcast can scale into the high 40's.
Huge Alligators are rather easy to find, found either in the swamp to the East of Tortuga, known as the Misty Mire, or in El Sudoron inside of Padres Del Fuego.
(Generally, I'd recommend Misty Mire as it's less of a walk to arrive.)
And finally, Navy Dreadnoughts can be found preying on vessels surrounding Padres Del Fuego, Kingshead, Isla Tormenta, & Outcast Isle.
(My typical routine is to sail from place to place for the Stumps and Gators, and typically you'll find nearly enough of these ships before you finish the quest.)
Once you're done with all these odd requests, return to Tia Dalma. From her, she will give you a specific chant that you must say to have this special potion work correctly. Once you've got it down, head back to Señor Fantifico once again and say the magic works, and then it's lights out on the second spirit of Raven's Cove.
Onto the third spirits of Raven's Cove, you will be tasked with visiting Clubheart Tavern, which will be on the right side of the town entering from the docks.
Upon entering, the resident owners of the tavern Ben and Sadie Clubheart will be awaiting your arrival. The family request you to visit an old friend at a getaway in Rat's Nest, Tortuga and take back their losses from the grubby hands of those inside. Here's the problem.
To enter the getaway in Rat's Nest, you are required three pieces of clothing that closely resemble the Clubhearts in their mortal, corruptible states.
For Male Pirates, you are required to purchase:
Straw Explorer Hat from Truehound's Tailor Shop on Port Royal,
Flap Long Sleeve from Isaiah Callecutter's Shop on Tortuga,
& 44 Doubloon Breeches from Dolores Tailoring Shoppe on Padres Del Fuego.
For Female Pirates, the garb to fit your fancy would be:
Woodland Top from Truehound's Tailor Shop on Port Royal,
Candybox Skirt from Seamstress Anne's Shop on Tortuga,
& Forest Knee Boots from Dolores Tailoring Shoppe on Padres Del Fuego.
Upon obtaining the appropriate clothing, head over to Rat's Nest, Tortuga to find the little rundown shack in the very corner of the jungle itself. Speak to the bouncer outside while disguised as your Clubheart companion, and you will be permitted to enter.
You realize that something is terribly wrong, and that you aren't forced into the typical game of Poker, but are instead gambling your life away— literally! While you are inside the bounds of this shack, there be no rules to taking a life, and each loss you succumb to takes a large chunk of your Pirate's HP.
You are required to obtain 650 Gold in a single sitting to be able to complete the challenge, and if you're feeling brave, you can stay at the table and earn a total of 5,000 Gold to be able to obtain a Magenta Ostrich Hat for Males, and a Purple Calvary Hat for Women.
⚠: If you have a friend available that has a Voodoo Doll and is sufficiently levelled to be able to use the Healing Skills, this is the sole way to be able to avoid death without having to lose your earnings by getting up from the table to use a Tonic.
Return to the Clubhearts with your earnings, and that's that.
Hope you brought your Fishing Rod, because next up we'll be visiting the far back of Raven's Cove's town in the cozy little fishing shack on stilts, owned by the not-too-recently deceased Thomas Fishmeister.
Upon talking to the old goon in his shack, he'll task you with two separate tasks, one mandatory and the other optional.
Firstly, you will have to catch 12 Tuna, which requires a minimum of Level 5 in Fishing to be able to encounter.
Secondarily, the optional goal will be to reel in one of the five Legendary Fish, encountered with the special Lure and can only be found in certain areas of the Caribbean at Level 20 Fishing. Completing this goal will reward you with a Bandit's Sea Globe upon returning to Thomas Fishmeister.
Once you've decided whether or not you want to attempt the optional challenge, or if you just want to get on with your life, head back to the Fishmeister.
The final spirit of Raven's Cove is secluded from the rest, sticking to her craft. Make your way toward the mines of Raven's Cove and take a right to find Madam Zigana's Gypsy Shop, and inside, who else?
Madam Zigana will be awaiting your presence, and has a very specific set of tasks for you. Like the Fishmeister prior, Madam Zigana has a set of goals for you to complete— one mandatory, one optional.
The mandatory objective for her quest requires the player to be at least Level 8 in Potions. Upon making your way to a potions table at Level 8, you will be tasked with making Three Staff Enchant I potions.
The optional objective for this quest asks the player to create a single Staff Enchant II potion. The grueling part of this second objective is solely put upon the fact that the pre-requisite requirement to create this potion is to have your pirate get Potion to Level 20. Though it's a long process, those of us who use the Voodoo Staff are handsomely rewarded following the completion of this optional portion, being rewarded a Burnt Staff in compensation for our time.
⚠: I recommend using these board rules to make your experience with potions streamlined. I also recommend doing all of these potions on Port Royal to avoid any unneeded ingredients being tossed into the mix.
After you're done, head back to Madam Zigana to complete your conversation with the townspeople of the once living Raven's Cove.
Head back to Crazy Ned after completing the dialogue with the final spirit, and he will reward you with the key to the pulley, which will allow you to ascend to El Patron's Mine, and to the second part of Raven's Cove.
