Advice for impossible mage?

[clinek]

no no no not that guy, im talking about the one right by the ghost ship. The one you are trying to do is not going to work out for you and it has never worked out for me. If you distance travel to verona, and travel to your left just a little bit, you should see a ghost ship (shipwreck). back towards the woods is where you will find the person you are looking for. If that guy is not guarding a map, let me know and ill find you a way to advance.
