went to Talriks cove and found his chest but no ward??I can't get on to the next quest without it any ideas?? thanks ..John also when I telported back to port I now have no ship I lost both of them!!?? Is that typical?.... John

Welcome to the board, john!!!

Well, sometimes the ward is not to be found with Talrik's cart (his treasure is actually underwater - have you been there yet?). Sometimes it can be found near the area where you enter the Lost Sea area after Anephas' Tomb. I think it also can be found in a chest way to the NE of the Sea of Sands - just keep checking the chests in the Lost Sea area, it will show up!

Did you leave your ship at the port or over near the area where you have to get off to get to Anephas' Tomb? Your ships should be where you left them last! ;) Hope you find them!
