Danger Level: 14
The path that will eventually take you to Conning Creek, a town that's important to a few plot-heavy chapters, Northern Conning Creek Coast is interesting for a few other reasons in its own right. Not only is it home to a woman who raises more questions than she answers, it's adjacent to a little location that will make Castti much more powerful. You need to go through here anyway, so consider poking around before you move on.
Northern Conning Creek Coast connects to the Canalbrine Bridge in the north and the Western Conning Creek Coast in the south. If you look along the southeast of the route you'll find a long sandbar that cuts through the water. At the far end you'll the Altar of the Charitable, shrine to Apothecaries. Bring Castti here and she'll learn the Drastic Measures EX Skill.

Treasure
- In the northwest of the route you'll find a chest sitting by itself, in a pool of water. The chest contains an Energizing Pomegranate.
- On the east side of the route is an island that branches off of the path to the Altar of the Charitable. Check the chest on this island for a Wind Soulstone (M).
- If you look south of the island where you found the Wind Soulstone (M) you'll find another little side path connected to the road to the Altar of the Charitable. On it is a chest containing a Helmcleaver.
- On the west side of the route is a Waiting Woman, standing on a thin sandbar between two pools of water. She's blocking the path further west, and won't move until you find a way past. The most likely method is to, ah, beat her up. Past the woman you'll find a chest containing a Matching Trident.
NPCs
- The Waiting Woman mentioned above is carrying a Rare Stone, a Vivid Jewel, and a Matching Trident. Check her info and you'll discover that she is very old, and waiting for something that will probably never happen. (Shame you likely beat her up.)
