Initial version (2026-04-18)
Traveler's Camp is an abandoned camp on the southwest section of Windrose's starting tutorial island. The camp consists of a single tent, a decrepit chest beside the tent, and nearby trees. One of those trees is marked with a red flag that points to a buried second chest.
Head southwest from the initial beach and crew camp. The Traveler's Camp sits in a small clearing near the shoreline; the tent and the red-flag-marked tree are the most visible landmarks. Players typically stumble on the camp during the broad tutorial-island exploration arc.
The camp hosts two distinct chests:
Visible chest beside the tent — contains the Curio called 'Twist of Fancy', which is the first entry in the Traveler's Journal Collection.
Buried chest west of the camp — located near the whitish tree marked with a red cloth. Stand on the southwest side of the stump and dig with a Shovel. Rewards include 5x Healing Potion, 5x Great Healing Potion, and 10x Homemade Gunpowder (exact counts vary between community reports; some are randomized).
Craft a Shovel at the Workbench (3 Copper Ingot + 10 Wood).
Open the visible chest beside the tent and read the Twist of Fancy Curio in your Journal.
Follow the clue — head directly west of the camp until you see the tall whitish tree stump with a red cloth tied around it.
Equip the Shovel, press X to enter Dig mode, and look for an orange circle on the southwest side of the stump.
Dig and recover the second chest.
Twist of Fancy — the seven-note Traveler's Journal Collection chain that begins at this camp.
Fifteen Men on a Dead Man's Chest — a separate buried-treasure quest on the eastern coast of the starting island, triggered by a different curio.
Do the visible chest first — reading the curio unlocks the dig-site marker for the buried chest.
If you do not have a Shovel yet, mark the location and come back after your first copper smelt run.
The buried chest rewards include enough healing potions to carry most players through the Revenge Is Best Served Cold boss fight.
