Smuggler's Rest
This page is for the current version of Smuggler's Rest; for the former training area, see Smuggler's Rest (History).
Smuggler's Rest is a tropical island wilderness area and part of the Treasure of Crystal Cove event. Slay pirates to receive event ingredients.
Getting there[edit]
- While the event is active, talk to Sailor Calatin, found on the northern Harbor docks (near Arachnophobia). He will transport you to Smuggler's Rest and back.
- When the event is inactive, there's generally not much reason to visit the area. Some tricks allow you to get in:
- Set the Rook's Gambit as your bind point, then die.
- Have someone use a Bracelet of Friends/Greater Bracelet of Friends from within the area to summon you.
Wilderness area with variant rules[edit]
Unlike most wilderness areas in the game, you don't get your private instance of the Smuggler's Rest. It is a public area that spawns monsters.
- While the event is active, pirates ranging from CR 1 kobolds to CR 30 ogres spawn on the island.
- The level of monsters that spawn depends on the level of nearby characters.
- Pirates start passive until activated (by being attacked, being near another pirate who is attacked, or being near a treasure chest when it's opened).
- Sometimes you'll hear a whistle, similar in function to a bosun's call: that means that a CR 23, 28 or 33, red-named monster has just appeared nearby. Those are appreciably harder to defeat, and yield appreciably more plunder.
- The port area with NPC where you start is usually safe from spawns unless someone drags enemies to it.
Some special rules apply:
- As in public areas, you slowly heal over time.
- As in public areas, you cannot use hirelings or summons. (Pets work.)
- As in wilderness areas, you can kill monsters and use most spells and abilities. Some abilities don't work.
- This wilderness area does not award any XP.
