Because I have a grand total of three trinkets. One that adds +5 to health/mana regeneration, the Carrot on a Stick, and the AD Commission. So really, what my trinket slot is filled with from the selection I have doesn't make a hair of a difference.

OK, looks like it's time for a few Lurkers to cowboy up and get one of the easiest and useful trinkets to get: Smott's Compass.

The only preparation needed for this quest is getting a hold of 10 Barbeque'd Buzzard Wings. If you can't buy them off the auction house, then one person should go to the Badlands and kill a bunch of buzzards until they get 10 buzzard wings. I recommend killing around the skeleton that's just south of Kargath (Apocrephon's Rest or something like that) where about a dozen buzzards hang out and respawn quickly. Once you have those wings, it should be easy to find someone who can cook them for you, whether in the guild or not. Note: Only *one* person in the group needs to have the BBQ Buzzard Wings. They're used to summon the giant, and only one person needs to do it.

Once you have the 10 BBQ buzzard wings, here's how it works:

1. Gather a group of Lurkers who don't have a decent set of trinkets.
2. Fly down to Booty Bay.
3. Swim out to the island with the big goblin statue on it.
4. Kill the giant who hangs out there who's always yelling and taunting Captain Smott. He's like a 50ish elite, and he drops a belt that starts the quest series (note: Smott doesn't start the quest series. The belt does). This also has the benefit of shutting up the giant for a couple of minutes.
5. Turn in the belt to Smott who gives you a followup quest to kill a second giant named Negolash.
6. The person with the 10 BBQ Buzzard Wings buys three bottles of wine at the inn in Booty Bay, and then everyone heads to the beach southeast of Booty Bay. The person with the food clicks on the wrecked rowboat and drops the food on it to summon Negolash.
7. Kill Negolash, who is a 52 elite.
8. Turn in your quest to get your shiny new Smott's Compass.

Once someone has the 10 BBQ Buzzard Wings, the whole process takes like 15 minutes. Since Negolash is only a level 52 elite, you could probably solo him quite easily, but why waste the BBQ Buzzard Wings? Just gather a few Lurkers who are in the same position you are and all get your compasses. Good luck!
