Can I go back to previously visited islands?

Question

Now that this question is answered, I'd like to go back to that cave. I already have a ship (just set my foot on the third island, after you join the pirates. Can I go back somehow? If so, how, and if I can't do it yet, when?

Answer

You will be able to travel between islands once you become a captain. That happens soon after you deal with Crow on the Sword Coast.

To travel simply talk to your helmsman at the ship's wheel and choose "It's time to set a new course" dialogue option.

What's Patty doing with all this grog?

Question

When I'm talking to Patty, there's an option to give her grog. I gave her a bunch and she didn't seem to act any different (not even slightly inebriated). What does giving grog to Patty accomplish, if anything? Do I have to give her a certain amount for anything to happen?

Asked by Ingmar

Answer

Grogs are basically health potions in this game. If you give Grog to Patty, she will use it when she's at low health.

Is there any use for the small crystal cave on the starting island?

Question

On the starting island, you can go to the beach and enter a small cave full of purple crystals.

However, there seems to be nothing there besides two easy monsters.

Is there any use for the cave at all? Do I need it for a quest, or is there some item there that I haven't found?

Asked by heishe

Answer

There is something in that cave if you look around carefully. A torch might be helpful to see it.

Somewhere to the right side of the cave (from where you enter it) is a Hero's Crown, which gives you a permanent increase to some defensive stats.
