Strategy
Getting Started
Talk to Will or Anne on the Port Sarim docks just east of the Food Store and accept their salvaging job. Board their ship, take control of the helm, and sail south through the Bay of Sarim to the pirate wreck located east of the Karamja Shipyard.

At the wreck, lower the salvaging hook when Anne tells you to, which pulls up a mysterious medallion and an old cup. Will keeps the medallion, you’re left with the cup, and Anne promptly shoves you overboard!
Pandemonium

You wash up at the Pandemonium and speak to Squawking Steve Beanie, who reveals Will and Anne stole a map to the wreck and sends you to Ribs. Ribs tells you about the pirate Barnacle Barnaby and a curse tied to the medallion, then points you back to Steve, who suggests finding Old Grog. But first, you’ll need to get your own boat.
Get Your Raft
Trade the old cup to Junior Jim for a raft, then go to the shipyard where you grab a hammer and saw and build a cargo hold on your raft. Sail to Port Sarim, dock, pick up cargo from the ledger (with weapons unequipped), store it in your hold, then return to the Pandemonium to deliver it and report back.

After the delivery, speak with Steve Beanie in the pub, who introduces you to Old Grog to help track Will and Anne. Congratulations! You have completed Pandemonium!
