    This is a solo task, the third 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
    - Completion of Howlan's Research: The Rest of the Diary

    Upon completion of the previous task, you saw:

    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.'

    You say, 'What about the pieces of Chataya's staff?'

    Farwhendle Higglespout says 'It appears that, with the book intact, I will be able to show you where the staff pieces are. Go to the Buried Sea and investigate Redfeather Isle, Suncrest Isle, Deadbone Reef, Monkey Rock, and Maiden's Grave and see if you can recover the pieces of the staff. Once we have all of the pieces, I may be able to recombine them to make a full staff, which will lead us to the artifacts.'

    You have been assigned the task 'Chataya's Staff: The Shattered Pieces'.

    Now that you have created the diary for Farwhendle, he has given you the map needed to find the shattered pieces. Collect them and return to him once those pieces have been collected.



    Acquire the first staff from Redfeather Isle 0/1 (The Buried Sea)

    Take the first staff piece to Farwhendle 0/1 (Barren Coast)

    Acquire the second staff piece from Suncrest Isle 0/1 (The Buried Sea)

    Take the second staff piece to Farwhendle 0/1 (Barren Coast)

    Acquire the third staff piece from Maiden's Grave 0/1 (The Buried Sea)

    Take the third staff piece to Farwhendle 0/1 (Barren Coast)

    Acquire the fourth staff piece from Deadbone Reef 0/1 (The Buried Sea)

    Take the fourth staff piece to Farwhendle 0/1 (Barren Coast)

    Acquire the fifth staff piece from Monkey Rock 0/1 (The Buried Sea)

    Take the fifth staff piece to Farwhendle 0/1 (Barren Coast)







    First staff piece on Redfeather Isle: Found on the platform walkway in the Aviak City at /location -3600, 925. Invis and go up on the walkway and pick up the staff.

    Second staff piece on Suncrest Isle: Found in front of the Sunstone High Priest at /location 60, -3450. The High Priest sees invisibility, but if you are careful, you can pick up the staff piece just outside of its aggro range.

    Third staff piece on Maiden's Grave: Found in a clearing near the center of the island at /location 2860, 4385.

    Fourth staff piece on Deadbone Reef: Found on the beach at /location 2800, -3740.

    Fifth staff piece on Monkey Rock: Found in the gorilla area at /location -3360, -3400.

    Head back to the Barren Coast to turn in the staff pieces. Upon the turn in:

    Farwhendle Higglespout says, 'With the shattered pieces of the staff collected, I can now combine the staff pieces. This will allow you to see the [hidden cove] in Jardel's Hook, which is where Howlan indicated where the artifacts might be found. You will need the help of other adventurers to complete this task.'

    This completes the task.

    Staffs are easy to find and get but one.

    On Redfeather, right up there on the ramps in plain site (at the aviak huts up top), on Monkey rock, on the gorilla hill in the center of the ruins, on Suncrest right there in the high priest building and on Deadbone, right there on the beach.

    The hard one is on Maidens grave.... as Sirens see invis. I would describe the locations as west of the center of the island, in the lower path, not on top of the hill.

    On a side note, all "acquire" steps are open from the start. You can collect all the staffs and then deliver them all at once.

    I did this quest recently and was surpised to find that if offers rewards for the Jonas Dagmire's Skeletal hand task series.

    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!
