Pirate Earrings  

Brought a new level 4 rogue here with 14 earrings. After all turn-ins, only received about 0.3% exp total. Some turn-ins did not yield any loot - 14 earrings turned in and only received one fishing spear, one conch shell, and three Aviak Feathers. Playing on a time-lock server so the spear is an ok newbie rogue weapon, and the feathers went to a guildie researcher to make level 16 MAG air pet spell. Conch shell sells for about 1 GP.

Well I have been on the cyclop island for about 3 hours total now.. I havent seen a single pirate on track. However the pirate ring still drops here. I have had Gornit drop an earring every single time and he is on a very fast spawn timer.

Good luck to those hunting here.

I did this with my 23 rogue last night for fun. It went like this?

You say, 'Hail, Styria Fearnon'

Styria Fearnon says 'Welcome to my island. I always welcome visitors, but I would prefer that your stay not last too long. My warriors are sometimes tempted by others. That is why they all wear purity belts. I should warn you, also, to be on the lookout for the Pirates of Gunthak.'

You say, 'What Pirates?'

Styria Fearnon says 'The Pirates of Gunthak have been stranded on a nearby island. Their ship was sunk by some unknown water beast. They now attempt to take over this island and commandeer the first ship they encounter. I am looking for brave adventurers to hunt the rogues. Do you wish to hunt the pirates or are you waiting for the next ship?'

You say, 'I wish to hunt the pirates.'

Styria Fearnon says 'Go and seek them out. They are on a nearby island. You will have to swim if you have no boat. Each pirate wears the pirate earring of the Pirates of Gunthak. I shall reward you for each earring you return to me. They have also stolen the Bracers of Erollisi from us. Their leader may have the pair. Return it to me and I shall be very appreciative.'

The pirates are located on Seafury island at about pos 785, neg 5445. They are not called Pirates. Some are called Buccaneers and some are named. I actually looted an earring off of Gornit, the Hill giant who spawns near the camp.

Upon turning it in:
Styria Fearnon says 'Good work. That is one less pirate to worry about. We do not have much, but take this as payment.'
Your faction standing with Faydarks Champions got better.
Your faction standing with King Tearis Thex got better.
Your faction standing with Clerics of Tunare got better.
Your faction standing with Soldiers of Tunare got better.
Your faction standing with Crushbone Orcs got worse.
You gain experience!!
You receive 2 silver from Styria Fearnon.
You receive 1 gold from Styria Fearnon.
Also received The Fishing spear.

Turned in earring and recieved a conch shell. heh heh

Im a dark elf magician who is just recently researching spells. Is it possible to turn in the earring or do i have to work on faction. If so, where do i hunt, and can i just buy the spell instead. Im on the Terris-Thule server so if anyone has a spare aviak feather send me a tell. My magicians name is Raeziel.

There is a nasty little pirate on the Isle of Erollis that has a nasty habbit of attacking any who come to the isle for Kiola nuts. He is about level 20+ and has a pirate earring on him. This POS pirate should be killed just to help anyone who comes to the isle. I like to hunt him, just for revenge sake.

For all you eviles + anti-rangers, there is a lvl 15-17 ranger, Naya Driftwood (Standard loot, not sure of any quests) that spawns in place of a sister. She will have the 1 PT DMG shield, and will use burst of fire (15 DMG DD).

pirates that spawn back by the dwarfs. They take turns spawning. I forget their names. They dont always drop the earing. The reward is quite variable....not just fishing spears. One of the rewards I used to get was an aviak feather. This used to be the only place to get the feathers to make the mage research air pet (level 16 pet i think...been a long time now). I killed gnari mohalk the other day and he dropped an aviak feather that looked totaly different than what i used to get from this quest. Things change i guess.

This quest is awful, the earrings are lore and so you have to turn them in one at a time. I was killing the dorfs with my 32 necro and both the pirates and the sisters hate me (even though I am indifferent in Kelethin) so I had to <<cough>> kill one or two of them. Lower levels might do his quest if you could collect a bunch of earrings at one time.

I agree they do have a big aggro radius.

I was given a conch shell upon turnin' in the ear ring. As much as I wish it were a cool Bard instrument, it ain't. Any clue on what it is fer? Anyone else out there get a shell? Or do the sisters jus' favor me.

Dayle Jornin who is on sister island drops the lore pirate's earring needed for this quest. He is only around level 15 or 16 and can easily be killed by 2 players in their low teens. He aggroed on me last night and a lvl 14 necro(me) and a level 12 wizzy dispatched him with ease.
