Sea Treasure Hunter's Quest

The Sea Treasure Hunter's Quest is a series of tasks given by the Sea Treasure Hunter. As opposed to others NPC's quests, you will receive your award at the launch of each task.

Award

 * Grabber

Description
After talking for the first time to the Sea Treasure Hunter, he will give you the grabber, enabling you to find sea treasures hidden in the sea. Your first task is to bring him 10 sunken coins to repay your debt. Those sunken coins can be found when opening sea treasure caches.

In order to catch a sea treasure, you need to position the grabber directly above the self-shining stain and use it. Be aware that the light will disappear as soon as you reached it.

Award

 * Sooner

Description
The second task starts right after you finished the first. The Sea Treasure Hunter will give you the sooner, an item placeable on boats that makes a loud sound when close to treasures. He will ask you to bring him 20 more sunken coins to repay your debt.

The sooner can help you to localize the large sea treasure caches localized under the thin rays of light. These rays will disapear before you can even reach them. You can use the sooner in order to receive acoustical representations of how far from the treasure you are now. When the sooner makes a loud sound right after you activate it, you're most likely in the right place. Use your grabber to recover the large sea treasure cache. These caches contains more sunken coins than their small counterpart.

Award

 * Treasure Thing

Description
The third and final task starts right after you complete the second. You will receive the treasure thing, used to find very rare sea treasures. The Sea Treasure Hunter explains that for every 10 sunken coins you bring him, he will summons a rare sea treasure. He summons the first one for free.

The rare sea treasures are very hard to acquire. They can be localized from far away thanks to very tall ray of light. However, those rays will disapear even if the player is still far from them. The treasure thing changes in colour depending on your distance from the treasure, going from pure black (very far away) to bright red (very close). Still, even if the treasure thing is bright red, the research's area is still pretty large. The player can use the sooner to further improves his chances to find the treasure.

Trivia

 * Before the 2.0 Update, there was a trick used to easily locate rare sea treasure. The player just needed to rest trought the night and at dawn, the ray of light appeared very briefly before disapearing again due to the player's proximity.
