OSRS TCG The Corsair Curse — Old School RuneScape quest card mapping

Start: talk to Captain Tock.

From the newly revealed town of Corsair Cove, deep in the south of Feldip Hills, the captain of the Corsairs has sailed to Port Sarim seeking help. His crew is sick, and he suspects that a curse has been laid upon them. If you can unravel the fearful and conflicting tales of ogre relics, vengeful mermaids and demonic possession, maybe you can help his ailing crew overcome The Corsair Curse.

The Corsair Curse is a free-to-play Old School RuneScape quest rated Intermediate. The OSRS TCG The Corsair Curse card list covers 3 of the items and monsters involved, including Ithoi the Navigator, Spade and Tinderbox. This page pairs the quest with those cards and with the open player trades for them; the OSRS Wiki remains the authority on requirements and the walkthrough itself.

Walkthrough overview

A brief summary of the quest, noting where each card is used. The OSRS Wiki has the full, authoritative walkthrough.

  1. 1

    Speak to Captain Tock at the crossroads north of Port Sarim, then meet him at the Rimmington dock to sail to Corsair Cove.

  2. 2

    Visit Ithoi in his hut, then investigate the curse claims of Arsen, Colin, and Gnocci in any order.

  3. 3

    Arsen: get the ogre artefact from Captain Tock and show it to Chief Tess in the Corsair Cove Dungeon, who reveals it is only a tooth-pick.

  4. 4

    Colin: use the telescope in Ithoi's hut to discover the 'mermaid' he offended is actually an ogre named Bugs.

  5. 5

    Gnocci: dig up the buried doll with a spade west of Ithoi's hut and find it is a harmless clockwork toy doll.

  6. 6

    Having debunked all three theories, return to Captain Tock and follow the investigation to Ithoi. A tinderbox is used during this stage. Finally, climb the stairs in Ithoi's hut and defeat Ithoi the Navigator to complete the quest.
