Walkthrough[edit]

  • Talk to Ishmashell
  • Ishmashell asks for your help
  • You can either agree to throw him back into the sea, or you can keep him to sell to a merchant
  • If you help Ishmashell, you will raise your Altruistic trait by 1
  • If you keep Ishmashell, you will raise your Egotistical trait by 1
  • You will get experience for completing the quest, no matter which decision you made.
  • If you help Ishmashell (by throwing him back to the ocean), a Chest appears with random treasure inside.
  • If you keep Ishmashell to sell to a merchant, you do not get any more rewards but you will get lots of gold when selling him
  • If you keep Ishmashell and eat him raw, the character will gain a +10 water resistance bonus.
  • You can also cook Ishmashell, but eating a cooked Ishmashell only gains you a disease, no resistance bonus.

Closing Entry[edit]

We kept the shell so we could sell it.

OR

We threw the shell back in the sea; it was very thankful and granted us a chest from the sea floor.
