The Captain and the River Maid

This special quest started on June 4th, 2014.  The River Maid who resides at the Wheel of Wishes has fallen in love.  Captain Pym is a sailor that passes by the River Maid on his way in and out the kingdom.  I suppose he's a handsome fellow but not quite in the league of Ula, the River Maid's beauty if you ask me.



Put Captain Pym's anchor from the Marketplace onto your land.  It doesn't cost any gold and only takes about 3 seconds to build.  You can give 20 gold coins at his anchor and get 70xp after 12 hours of waiting.




The problem is that the Captain is an earthbound human and Ula is a water-bound mermaid.  He is going to try and get Ula legs so that she can walk with him on Earth.


At the bottom of your screen you will see that Ula the Maid has a progress bar.  Click on it to get to the rewards screen.  This screen will show you which items you need to complete the quest, the amount of time remaining for the entire "The Captain and the River Maid" quest, and the rewards for completing these orders.The first quest from her is for a reward of 8,000 gold coins.  The second quests reward is a sheep pasture, and the third is the hero DeepMane.


To make these items you need to get lightfoot berries from Places of Legend by sending in Captain Pym to explore.  Some Places of Legend such as the Gateway of Luck do not offer the lightfoot berries as a reward.  Hint: the best place to get lightfoot berries is to keep sending Pym to the Watchtower because it only takes 3 minutes and 1 plain torch to send him and he brings back berries about every one out of 3 or 4 trips.

Legs for a Mermaid - The first quest given by Capt. Pym is to help you make the items that are needed in Ula's order.  First he wants you to make a pair of berry-picking gloves at the Tailor.  The next quest helps you make lightfoot oatmeal at the Trail Kitchen and the next is for lightfoot cheese at the Dairy Barn.  Finally his quest matches Ula's quest for 5 berry-picking gloves, 4 lightfoot oatmeal, and 6 lightfoot cheese.






A Fishy Tail - The next reward is shown at the progress bar, click on it to see the items you need to complete the next quest.  In your quest book you will also find A Fishy Tail 4 part quest by Ula to help you along the way.  Hint: the best idea for finding frog oil is to keep sending Yvette to the Gateway of Luck.  She only needs 1 ladder and 1 plain torch to explore and you get frog oil about every 3 visits.

On June 13th the game changes slightly and only requires 1 frog oil per item, it also gives you a better chance to receive frog oil from the Gateway of Luck.




The last step to getting the hero is to get sunstones from Places of Legend and use them to create items at the Woodshop and the Jeweler.  Captain Pym gives you quests called Lovers' Gifts to help you along the way to getting the reward of the hero DeepMane.  Hint: send Captain Pym and Yvette to the Butterfly Oracle to get a very high chance of receiving a sunstone every hour.





Viola, now you have DeepMane!  Feed him 1 carrot oat bar and wait 12 hrs for 175xp.



After you've finished this main part of the special quest, The Captain and the River Maid, you can complete smaller quests for additional xp (experience points).
