    This is a solo task, the second in a series of three that leads up to the Jardel's Hook group mission. It begins with Farwhendle Higglespout (click for map image) who is located in a tent at the Blacksail Smuggler camp at approximately -270, -120 in the Barren Coast.

    Pre-requisites for Requesting:
    - Completion of Howlan's Research: Tracking the Missing Notes

    Upon completion of the previous task, you saw:

    Farwhendle Higglespout says, 'With this note, I will be able to [direct] you to the other notes needed to recreate Chataya's staff.'

    You say, 'Direct me...'

    Farwhendle Higglesnout says 'Aye, I believe the debris can be found along the coasts of lands near the Buried Sea. Go to Gunthak, Ocean of Tears, and The Overthere and investigate for more notes.'

    You have been assigned the task 'Howlan's Research: The Rest of the Diary'.

    Farwhendle believes he knows where the missing pages of the Diary are found and he wants you to find them. Recover the pages and return to him in the Barren Coast.











    Explore The Overthere and find the wreckage of the ship The Greysong 0/1 (The Overthere)

    Kill the undead pirates 0/4 (The Overthere)

    Loot the researcher's notes 0/1 (The Overthere)

    Head to the Overthere and just east of the Plane of Knowledge book along the coast. You will find several undead Greysong pirates and some Greysong debris. This is the same as the previous task: Get a location update, kill four undead pirates, and loot the debris object for "The Magical Siren Staff Chapter II".

    The undead pirates are casters and hit for a max ~1,700 each. They are stunnable and mezzable. They have ~60,000 hitpoints each and do not summon. (Same goes for all undead pirates in this task.)



    Explore Ocean of Tears and find the wreckage of the ship The Greysong 0/1 (Ocean of Tears)

    Kill the undead pirates 0/4 (Ocean of Tears)

    Loot the researcher's notes 0/1 (Ocean of Tears)

    Head to the Ocean of Tears and find another group of Greysong pirates and debris on the goblin isle (/location 80, -7540 -- directly south of the dock from Butcherblock). Here, you'll loot "The Magical Siren Staff Chapter V".



    Explore Gunthak and find the wreckage of the ship The Greysong 0/1 (Gulf of Gunthak)

    Kill the undead pirates 0/4 (Gulf of Gunthak)

    Loot the researcher's notes 0/1 (Gulf of Gunthak)

    Head to the Gulf of Gunthak and onto the east side of the beach. Here, you will find several undead Greysong pirates and some Greysong debris (/location -175, -1150). You will be looting an item called "The Magical Siren Staff Chapter VII".



    Deliver the chapter II notes to Farwhendle 0/1 (Barren Coast)

    Deliver the chapter V notes to Farwhendle 0/1 (Barren Coast)

    Deliver the chapter VII notes to Farwhendle 0/1 (Barren Coast)

    Return to the Barren Coast and hand in the three pages:

    Farwhendle Higglespout says, 'With the return of these pages I can now draw up a map of where the [pieces of Chataya's staff] can be found.'

    This completes the task.

    It appears three of Higglespouts quests (Howlan's Research #1: Tracking the Missing Notes, Howlan's Research #2: The Rest of the Diary and Chataya's Staff: The Shattered Pieces) offer options for three parts of Jonas' hand (Little Finger Metacarpal, Thumb Proximal Phalanx & Forefinger Proximal Phalanx).

    I did the Jonas series long ago, so these are clearly alternative tasks... but, they still offer the parts!
