This group task is the first in a series of five and begins with Daemon Darkdawn on the Barren Coast, located at approximately 745, -625, on top of a large hill.

You say, 'Hail, Daemon Darkdawn'

Daemon Darkdawn says 'Yar, landlubber! What be ye doing here? If yer lookin ta join me crew, that ship has [gone] and sailed.'

You say, 'Gone?'

Daemon Darkdawn says 'Aye. Well, more like sank. Them snog-bottomed goblins killed most o' me crew and scuttled me ship! Thems of us that survived were picked up by another crew and dropped here. I shoulda left by now, but I'm not done with them [stinkin' goblins].'

You say, 'Stinkin' goblins?'

Daemon Darkdawn says 'Aye. I been learnin what I can about 'em, especially them ones that be out on [Suncrest]. I want me revenge on them, and I'm going to get it. Maybe you'd be [interested] in helpin' out? If you send enough of them to the halls of Prexus, I can probably find some booty ta give ya for it.'

You say, 'Suncrest?'

Daemon Darkdawn says 'Suncrest is one of them islands out near that big whirlpool. It's just east of it. It's full o' them goblins, both kinds. There's the ones that live in the water and the ones that live near that volcano thar. I don't know much about the little beggars, but I been talking with Brynden Snow an' he knows a lot about that island and the goblins there. I be havin' trouble getting' him to cough up what I want to know. But you can certainly kill some of them big-eared rat goblins for me. You [interested]?'

You say, 'I am interested.'

Daemon Darkdawn says 'Good. Now listen up. I want that fire goblin king's head. I want you to go fetch it for me. This is the revenge me crew be needin'.'

You have been assigned the task 'Sunstone Savages'.

Daemon Darkdawn wants you to take some revenge on the sunstone goblin tribe. Get on one of the Freetide Merchant ships and head to Suncrest Island to prove yer mettle! Use the rowboat that you left on the shore to row back out to the boat when you're done.

Purchase tickets to Suncrest Isle and catch the boat - Barren Coast

Slay Sunstone Goblins 0/25 - Suncrest Isle

The goblins are littered around the north end of the island.

Kill the Sunstone High Priest - Suncrest Isle

Exact in-game name is Sunstone High Priest - level 77 - and it resides in a building near the NE corner of the island. For being a priest, it didn't seem to cast much at all. It does not summon and can be kited.

Kill the Sunstone King - Suncrest Isle

Exact name is "King Vigdos" and he resides in the big building near the zone in. He is 77 or 78, and there is nothing too spectacular about him. He has ~110k HP, and again, does not summon. He drops an item called "Sunstone Sun Charm" that must be kept.

Speak with Daemon Darkdawn - Barren Coast

You say, 'Hail, Daemon Darkdawn'

Dialogues, faction hits, and rewards needed.

Reward is a number of doubloons and faction.

Completion of this task allows you to request the next in the series.

Oddly when i finished this task recently and clicked the boat i got a message saying. You get into the longboat and row out. You are quickly picked up by one of the many merchant ships sailing the waters of the Buried Sea and delivered safely to the dock on Jardel's Hook. I know others have stated this happens but its so odd that SoE wouldn't put 2+2 together and dump you instead on the docks of the barren coast.

Solo'd at 85 with merc, just need 3rd to get task.

Pretty straight forward, this one.

Buy a ticket to Suncrest and hop a boat to zone in.

Kill the Sunstone High Priest (temple north side of island on hill), kill the Sunstone King (King Vigdos, in the caves to the east) and 25 "sunstone" goblins of any kind.

Click the canoe (where you zoned in) to zone out and hail Daemon to finish up.

NOTE: The King dropped a Sunstone Sun Charm that has 2 charges of "attention of Solusek Ro" on it. Be sure you loot it, as it is needed for a turn in in a later task (5th task)!

The mobs do not respawn in this mission, so take your time and clear a nice path out to work with.

Actually, it gave 150 today. TBS missions are based on how popular the mission is on what it pays, or so I read. So the payout varies.

Repeatable?

This mission is listed as repeatable. I can't get any other mission except the next in progression from the NPC. Unlike Longear #1, which is also listed as repeatable, when I talk with the NPC he automatically assigns me mission #2. When I talk with Longear, he gives me the option of picking #1 or #2. Any ideas?

Once you've completed all the quests in the chain, you'll get the first one again the next time you talk to Daemon.

This mission was very easy. Contrary to what kausali said, all you have to do is kill 25 goblins, the king and the high priest.

The king in a building up the hill from all the stone huts.

Kings max hit was 1720, the High Priest max hit was 1327. The max hit for the non named appeared to be 1075.

To get out of suncrest find a long boat on the same island as the gobbies and click on it. It will zone you out to Jardel Hook in The Buried Sea. I don't think any mob summoned, even the nameds.

*Edit: Added max hit info.*

Daemon Darkdawn says 'Aye. I been learnin what I can about 'em, especially them ones that be out on [Suncrest]. I want me revenge on them, and I'm going to get it. Maybe you'd be [interested] in helpin' out? If you send enough of them to the halls of Prexus, I can probably find some booty ta give ya for it.'

You say, 'interested'

Daemon Darkdawn says 'Aye. I been talking to Brynden and he agrees. There's something rotten on that rock and I don't think I be done getting' the vengeance me and me crew need. Go back thar and find out what that symbol does and smash up them red goblins. Go talk to Brynden and see what he can tell you about them fire goblins and that volcano.'

When you ask him about [Suncrest] he replies:

Daemon Darkdawn says: "Suncrest is one of them islands out near that big whirlpool. It's just east of it. It's full o'them goblins, both kinds. There's the ones that live in the water and the ones that live near that volcano thar. I don't know much about the little beggars, but I been talking with Brynden Snow an' he knows a lot about that island and the goblins there. I be havin' trouble getting' him to cough up what I want to know. But you can certainly kill some of them big-eared rat goblins for me. You [interested]?"

BTW, once task is completed and you get back in the boat you will be deposited at Jardel's Hook in the Buried Sea not the Barren Coast.

Upon completion of the task Daemon Darkdawn says: "Arrr, you've brought a tear to this old Salty dog's eye! Those goblins didn't know who they were messin' with! But we're not done with those bilge rats just yet! Not by a long shot! What's this you brought me? The king held it ye say? Hmm, well lets have a look at this here [charm] shall we?"

I asked him about the charm and he replied: "I noted yer interest afore. How about we go about provin' that interest instead of yappin' at me?"

Turning in the charm only resulted in him giving it back and saying he had no need of it.
