The Steel Rake is the massive airship of the Steel Beard Pirates, whom the Shugos call Shulacks. Shulack is not translated, in game, but probably means something horrible like "bad businessmen".
Steel Rake has an intro quest, beginning with Suspicious Shugo for Elyos and A Suspicious Call for Asmodians. Both quests have a minimum level of 40. Once you complete this quest you should be offered three solo quests to complete in Steel Rake Cabin, the soloable middle deck of the Steel Rake. These must be completed before you can return to the Lower and Upper decks of the Steel Rake with a group.
The 3.0 patch changed the middle deck from Group to Solo, making the middle deck into a separate zone, the Steel Rake Cabin.
All quests that start outside and lead inside can be found in your respective cities Quest Series.
The other Shugo will take you to Steel Rake Cabin (solo zone).
This delivers you to a Black Cloud Traders airship that will sneak you onto The Stern of Steel Rake - Middle Level. Return to your city the same way, by clicking on the anchor mooring the Black Cloud Traders airship to the Steel Rake. You can exit and re-enter for up to 5 hours from your initial entry without worry, but after 5 hours if you need to leave (for a turn-in, for instance) be sure to leave at least one player inside to hold the instance open. Also, treasure keys obtained in the zone are NO-ZONE. If the player holding them exits the zone they vanish, so be sure any keys are held by someone that does not need to leave the ship for turn-ins. Most, if not all, door keys are NOT NO-ZONE.
The treasure keys should not be confused with the door keys, which drop from most named mobs in the zone and are required to progress. These do NOT vanish if you zone. This is very important, as it is wise to get the key from the Engineer once, then do NOT unlock the steam tunnel to the Upper Deck. Instead, exit and save this key. In this way, everafter, you can easy-mode the Engineer by pulling him into the Steam Tunnel!
The Airship is divided into three decks, {{aionzone|Steel Rake Cabin (formerly known as the Middle Deck), Lower Deck, and Upper Deck. Your point of entry is the The Stern of Steel Rake in Steel Rake Cabin.
