This is a group mission that involves going into Jardel's Hook and collecting to artifacts (it is the only group mission for Jardel's Hook). It begins with Farwhendle Higglespout (click for map image) in the Barren Coast, located in a tent at the Blacksail Smuggler camp at approximately -270, -120.
Pre-requisites for Requesting:
- Completion of Howlan's Research: Tracking the Missing Notes
- Completion of Howlan's Research: The Rest of the Diary
- Completion of Chataya's Staff: The Shattered Pieces
Upon completion of the previous task, you saw:
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.'
You say, 'What hidden cove?'
Farwhendle Higglespout says, 'I believe with this staff intact, you will be able to find the Hidden Cove on Jardel's Hook. The staff's power allows you to see the invisible, and makes you invisible to other beings who would normally see you. This staff allows you to enter the magical cloak that has made the Cove hidden from people for hundreds of years. Go with caution though, for there might be sentries there awating your arrival. Return the staff to me once you have the artifacts!'
You have been assigned the task 'Chataya's Staff: Jardel's Hidden Cove'
With the notes composed and the staff pieces recovered, Farwhendle tells you that the staff will be activated upon arriving at Jardel's Hook. While the current inhabitants of the Hook will not notice you, other beings that were invisible before are now visible and are aware of your presence. The current inhabitants will not be able to attack you, nor will you be able to attack them. However, the other beings there may be dangerous. The guardians of the artifacts were left there by Chataya ages ago. Recover the artifacts using any means possible.
Whoever requests the task receives "Chataya's Staff".

He may have a few valuable items for sale that you may purchase if you are friendly with him.'
