Overview
Forsaken Shores is a captivating pirate-themed island that was introduced in the 1.05.0 update as part of the Forsaken Shores Expansion. Situated to the southwest, the island draws players in with its central skull-shaped cave, which is both an iconic landmark and a hub of activity. The island is surrounded by small sea stacks, adding to its mysterious allure. The cave is home to Cort, a new merchant who offers the Scurvy Rod for 50,000 C$, making it a must-visit for those looking to upgrade their fishing gear.
The island features 11 distinct types of fish, making it a popular destination for anglers looking to complete their Bestiary. Those who succeed in completing the Forsaken Shores Bestiary are rewarded with either the Pirate Wheel Bobber or Skull Bobber, both prestigious items. Forsaken Shores is particularly favored for the opportunity to fish for Captain's Goldfish, especially in the pond beneath the waterfall. For optimal results, players are advised to use a rod with high luck stats, such as the Mythical Rod, or the Fortune Rod for beginners.
In addition to fishing, Forsaken Shores offers players an engaging experience with its pirate-themed environment. The presence of NPCs like Shipwright, Cort, Beach Keeper, and Jack Marrow adds depth to the island, offering various interactions and quests. Jack Marrow, in particular, is a playful nod to Captain Jack Sparrow from "Pirates of the Caribbean," adding a touch of cinematic charm.
Forsaken Shores has a secret TNT room that unlocks Atlantis.
