Pirate's treasures

Jinix, the diamond 'quest' relates to your choice in which of the three sons you allow to be the head of the family. If you choose the youngest son, he gives you a map of a part of Eastern Isles which a diamond is buried. It is worth 50,000 and you can't equip it, only sell it. This is why I always make Trade 3 a priority. I like getting the 50k at this stage so I always let the young guy head the family. From memory the other two options weren't as good.

EDIT: oh, and I just played through Freedom Islands AGAIN and I don't think there is a quest relating to Lucky James' treasure. When you kill him it basically says 'his money is elsewhere' which I think is a lame explanation for why you don't get millions for killing him. That's it I believe.

Actually i find that giving the elder brother the bandana is the best solution so far. True, you loose a diamond ( pff big deal ) , but you gain acces to shops at all 3 brothers shacks, increasing chance for good troops and usefull spells ( i got phantom at one of this brothers).If u choose the younger brother, u gain the diamond and his shop only cuz the brothers will be pissed and u have to kill them.

I save the game and give the bandana to the elder brother to check the shops, but if they don't have anything special I give it to the younger brother.

Also, could anyone elaborate on the Moon Ghost, the sunken ship made of black gold? I know where the sunken village is, and I dug up 3 treasure chests on the shore, but I didn't see a ship or anything like that.

You have to buy a Power of Water scroll from the Sorceress on that island. Don't forget to get rid of your spare scrolls before you raise it incase there is a good spell to buy because the ship will sink again after you leave. Though you can buy another scroll from the Sorceress if need be.

Why then is there a blank space in my spellbook? As if taken over by a scroll but its empty!?
