How to Start “Traveler’s Lost and Found” Side Story quest
This Side Story can be started by any character in the town of Canalbrine. Canalbrine sits on the coast of the western continent of Solistia, in the Northern section of the Harborlands.
We can reach the location by boat from the New Delsta Anchorage or Toto’haha Anchorage. Additionally, we can reach the location on foot by heading South from Oresrush then East, or North from Ryu, then East.
Near the bridges that allow you to cross the water in town, there’s a Young Traveler here. Approaching him and speaking with him will reveal he lost an important item.
The only thing he tells us initially is that he last saw in the Brightlands, before taking a boat that stopped in Toto’haha. So we set off to find it.
