Silent Strolling

As you're plumbing the depths, you notice something out of the corner of your trained Turtle Tamer's eye -- an orangutan!

Just kidding -- it's a turtle. A turtle floating motionless in the eerie stillness of the deep. How does it do that?

Tame it

• Successful taming:

You swim up behind it and deftly subdue it. Its bizarre buoyancy makes it hard to handle, but you manage.

You acquire an item: ballast turtle

• Unsuccessful taming:

You swim up behind it and deftly subdue it. Its bizarre buoyancy makes it hard to handle, and you demonstrate this by dropping it almost immediately. Shucks.

Occurs in The Sea with Eau de Tortue.

Notes

• This encounter does not consume an adventure.
• Pre-Turtle Taming revamp, successful taming required a turtling rod, a turtle familiar, and Fishy. It was a lot of work.
• Only three ballast turtles may be tamed per day, across all zones of The Sea.
  • Additional taming attempts result in dropping it almost immediately. Shucks.
