Ravinia offers a 7 day quest series that’s beneficial for sailing and barter fans. The quests have a mix of challenge and RNG, but are definitely worth your while, if you like Great Ocean content. The quests are titled “Ravinia’s Ship Upgrade Log” (I to VII)
Ravinia’s Quest Line Benefits:
- 1,000 Crow Coins
- obtain half of many materials for upgrading Epheria Sailboat/Frigate to Epheria Caravel/Galleass
- earn a large chunk of Sailing Exp (170k)
- 2x Elixir of Regeneration to cure Sailing sickness
- 20x Chowder to restore Sailor’s Condition
If you need help finding this elusive lady, she is hidden in a secret, mist shrouded cave on an invisible island…
Well, not really, but it can feel that way trying to find her. 🙂
Directionally challenged players like me can find a map to Ravinia at the bottom of this guide.

Ravinia’s Quest Line Summary
Ravinia has a quest line of 7 quests. You can obtain one quest each day over 7 days. Each daily quest has two parts. The first part starts and ends at Ravinia. You visit a NPC and then return to her. The second part is random.
Ravinia Quest Line Quick Summary:
Ravina’s quests give special letters. These letters provide 1 quest scroll with the same name of the letter.
- Complete part 1 to talk to an NPC and return to obtain a letter from Ravinia.
- Right click the letter from your inventory to accept the quest scroll item.
- Right click the quest scroll item to obtain a random quest. (This is the second part, which rewards the ship materials, Sailing exp, etc.)
- Complete part 2, the letter quest, then return to Ravinia to receive the rewards.
Ravinia Quest Tips:
- You can only complete 1 Ravinia’s Upgrade Log each day. You can do the next Upgrade Log quest on the next day after Daily Reset.
- You can hold multiple letters in your inventory, but you can’t accept more than one letter quest at a time.
- You don’t have to complete the letter quest to accept the next Upgrade Log quest.
- Quests are shared account wide. So you could potentially have an Alt help with some of the travel.
Ravinia’s Ship Upgrade Quest Details
Part 1 of each of Ravina’s Upgrade Log quests, give a special letter, shown below. (From sailing to an NPC and then returning to Ravinia.)
Ravinia’s Letter Quest Scrolls
Part 2 of each Ship Upgrade Log quest, is the random quest from the quest scroll.
Right click the letter to obtain a quest scroll in your inventory with the same name of the letter. Note that you do NOT have to complete this right away and you will still be able to pick up Ravinia’s next Ship Upgrade quest. Do NOT try to right click all your quest scrolls at once, if you have more than one! You can only activate one letter quest at a time.
Ravinia’s Letter Quests
The first quest I got from Ravinia was to hunt 777 pirates on pirate island (Kuit Islands). I actually got this one three times I think.
The quests from the quest scrolls will be random. My sister’s first quest was to travel to a Barter NPC in Margoria. (She wasn’t thrilled about that one, with no compass! LOL!)
Day 1 and 4 of the Ship Upgrade Log has a good payout, if your goal is to obtain Caravel or Galleass mats!
Possible Quests:
- Give 10x 10G Gold Bars to Ravinia (valued at 10 million Silver)
- Barter 20 times
- Bring 3 young sea monsters’ scales
- Hand over blue-grade fish x1 and yellow-grade fish x1 to Ravinia
- Sail to Miya at the Dancing Marlin tavern in Velia
- Defeat 777 pirates (Kuit Islands)
- Sail to Olcia Viano in Margoria

–Â Ravinia’s Location: Crow’s Nest Map
Ravinia is located inside a cave on Crow’s Nest island in Ross Sea. Crow’s Nest is located north of the Pit of the Undying and Tinberra Island.
Look for the entrance next to the cave behind the dock on the SW side of the island. There is a <Wharf Manager> at the dock to repair and top up on rations.
Crow’s Nest is barely visible on the in-game map because it is covered in map fog, and you won’t be able to autopath unless you are using a compass. If you look at the map below, you will see a faint line connecting the NW tip of Tinberra Island with the wharf manager and dock location on Crow’s Nest. Point your ship in this same direction, head mostly north, pass by the Pit of the Undying, and you will see Crow’s Nest Island looming large ahead.
A compass makes it easier to navigate to Crow’s Nest, but it’s optional.
Note that once you enter Ross Sea, your World Map disappears and the mini-map is of no help. Make sure you angle your ship in the correct direction from Tinberra Island. You will be able to see a silhouette of the island as you look out from your ship into the distant horizon. (As long as weather permits!)

Wharf Manager Location
<Wharf Manager> Anaz is located at the docks on the SW side of Crow’s Nest island. Located just behind him on the left is the entrance to the cave where Ravinia and a few other NPCs are located.

I like ur sharings, ty <3
Crow’s nest has a wharf manager now.
Yup, just saw that, But other than the Ravinia, is there anything else to do/explore at Crow’s Nest?
To get the Tuna for Lavinia, do I need a high fishing range?
So I did the quest and got the letter. I used the letter and got another letter so I used it and did the quest to give her some gold bars. When will I get another quest? I don’t have any other letters so I’m wondering if I bugged it.
I have the same thing
You’ll have to head back to ravina in crowd nest 24 hours after the last quest you did for her, it’s to bad there is no timer to tell you when but at least the quest is not bugged
Tip: If you’re too lazy to sail to Velia, Olvia or Port Epheria, log in your other character/class nearby the quest places and finish the talking quest. For the defeating 777 pirates quest, you can use other faster pve character/class to finish it. Then, log back into your other character in Crow’s Nest and turn in the quest.
Hello 🙂 Thanks for the tips!
By the end of the day, quest turns out to be useless for me. By the time i got this quest, i had all materials necessary to build 2 ships. If someone considering to do barter and sailing, do this quest immediately, after improving your frigate.
I read that they made mats easier to get. Grats on your ship!
