The Haunted Islands are the area created after Shilla Bay. It is located NW from the (-14, -14) coordinates in the Open Sea and therefore requires the Quest Item|Sextant to access the area. No other backdoors, like the one found on Footface Island, are known to exist. Return to Haunted Island teleport scrolls are infrequent drops by all the creatures that reside here.
The area is comprised of a series of islands, all but two of which can be accessed from the sea spots. Groups of Reefs containing Undead Sailors, Undead Captains, and Skeletal Overlords are located randomly in the area and don't require you leaving your vessel to fight. Barque vessels manned by more difficult creatures are found throughout the area as well.
Here are the islands ranked from easiest creatures to most difficult: Zombie Atoll, Skeleton Bay, Ghost Island, Vampire Reef, Ruins, Dragon Island, and Evil Island.
The Haunted Crypt is accessed through the Dark Tunnel found below this area.
The Haunted Islands provides numerous training opportunities, following those creatures found in the Shilla Bay and ending with creatures approximately the same strength as those found in the Great Plains. More specific information can be found in the Training Progression Guide. Creature location is marked on the island maps below. Only Dragon Island and Evil Island have the same creatures spawning on all the spots on the respective islands.
The Elite Weapons dropper Balthasar makes his home in the northeast of the Haunted Islands.
Quests
Collecting 250 Skeleton Bones
You can "learn" about this quest from a random traveller on the Skeleton Atoll, though it is not necessary to get it activated. Just visit the upper-left corner of Chamber 1 in the Haunted Crypt to meet the Witch Doctor. Grind the Giant Skeletons that are plentiful in that area and collect your 400M experience. This quest has a 1 hour timer after completion and is not affected by other players completing it.
Mission on haunted seas
The quest is started at the Haunted Islands entrance from the Open sea. You be sent back to the Harbor Master at the Docks near Shillatown, specifically the room north of the middle dock. There you will find him referred to as the Mayor. He'll send you off to kill 500 Giant Skeletons he calls skeleton berserkers. Pick up all the Bones to trade to the Witch Doctor for experience. I managed to collect over 600. Return to him after completing the quest to get 1M gold and a Return to the Haunted Islands scroll.
Ghostly trip 1
It's started near Ghost Island's dock. You'll be asked by a ghost to located his grave. It's located 2E, 4N, and 3W from the Castle - Entrance teleport spot. Return to the Ghost Island entrance to complete the quest, receiving nothing in return.
Ghostly trip 2
This quest can be done once you complete Ghostly trip 1. This time the ghost asks you to go down to the Haunted Crypt to look for his father's grave. It's located in the Chamber 2 middle section, second from bottom path. There will be no indication that you have found the grave other than words indicating that other quests are needed prior to getting the Ghostly Trip quest. Return to Ghost Island entrance to complete the quest, again receiving nothing.
Ghostly trip 3
This quest starts at the Chamber 2 father's ghost location after Ghostly trip 2 completion. You're asked to get 210 Sweet Dream from Ghost Island creatures, for which you can receive 850 million experience. The creatures who drop Sweet Dreams are Lurker Ghosts/Spirit Lords found in Chamber 3 of the Haunted Crypt and on Ghost Island, Vampire Antipaladins found on Vampire Reef, and Evils found on Evil Island. This quest has a 1 hour timer after completion and is not affected by other players completing it.
