Objectives

Use the location names in your quest journal. Follow map markers when they are available.

Step	Objective	Optional
1	Sail the packet lanes: make port twice under sail	No

Outcomes

Added gear requires a successful quest payment and a qualifying outcome. Quest mail alone does not count as payment.

Outcome	Gold multiplier	Gear choice
You sailed the packet lanes, and Hamid al-Rasheen hailed you in port: the Old Coil is rising.	100%	Yes
The sailing season turned, and Hamid al-Rasheen went home to Sentinel Map without your word.	No added payment	No

With Questlines enabled, these outcomes control the added rewards. Gold multipliers apply only to gold the quest actually pays. A gear choice offers a weapon, armour and jewellery; keep one. See Quest rewards and loot for rarity, payment and online reward rules.

Previous step: The Sailors’ Tale.

Next step: The Shed Skin.

Scripted gold

Payment	Base amount (gold)
Gold payment	300–600

These are the script’s unscaled payment ranges, before the outcome multiplier and any party split. A payment still requires its quest objective or branch; the listed payments are not automatically awarded together.
