Last update: 11 May 2016
Goals: find a way to the Thunder Mountain
Reward: 120 000 XP
Conquering Halaso not only pointed out the nest of the Thunderbird but also shows us another clue: Crag Hack found out that on the coral reef nearby lives an old man who is worth to be visited. But before we move on the open waters of the Savage Sea we should upgrade our army and finish an exploration of the island. Firstly, take over two sources of resources: sawmill on the south (M1,T) and the stone mine on the north of an island(M1,R). First building which we should make is a marketplace, which allow us to get remaining crystals. Then we should build ASAP Centaur Camp and Harpy Nest, then upgrade it to the Harpy Colony. Received centaurs and furies let us win most of battles without loses. Besides that, it's good to secure nearby Subordinate altar(M3,4) to maximize a number of our troops. The last one curious thing is a Sailor's Journal (M1,3) - an artifact which begins two secondary quests: " Legacy of a Great Pirate" and "Captain's Hat".
Journal will be useful during travelling through the Savage Sea.
After securing the island and recruiting new troops we can continue our adventure. To do so, we have to build a ship in a shipyard (M1,4) for 10 wood and 2500 gold. First thing that we should pay attention to, after embarking, are Pirate Hunters on the coastal waters. Moving south we'll meet few hostile heroes, one stronger than the other. But it's worth to eliminate them during this quest, because they can suddenly land on the shore and attack our city. After cleaning up, we move north from the shipyard until we find the first island (M1,5). After leaving the boat and approaching the Falagar we'll get to know that he'll help us get to the Thunderbird for a small favour.
