Prove Your Worth (Epic)

From DDO Compendium


While Captain Rackam searches the rest of Three-Barrel Cove for the treasure map pieces, he's left his piece for safe-keeping. To take it, you would need to overcome Rackam's infamous trials.

Overview

Dirty Vingus is the Captain of the Sterling Change, a rival crew to Captain Rackam of the Ill Fate. Captain Rackam is known to have the best crew around, and Dirty Vingus believes it is because of the obstacle course that Rackam has created. Vingus would like to know more about the course, but he won't allow rival crews in, so he has asked you to attempt the obstacle course, and report back with information about the obstacles and traps that help Rakham's crew become the best. Dirty Vingus tells you that the course is found near the wreckage of the Lady Luck.

Objectives

  • Acquire the Treasure Map piece at the end of Rackham's Trial
  • (Optional) Successfully retort all of Glin's insults

Named Loot

Notes

The final fight is with a verbal curse spewing pirate (in the vane of The Curse of Monkey Island). You can use bluff, diplomacy or intimidation to answer the curse. If you fail, you will be stunned. There is a perch spot on the wood fencing that is one the east wall where Glin can't hit you.
