This location is incorrect. "Fast travel to Rugged Shoals - Corel Shore..." The first location is actually at the very northern edge of Gongaga, on the beach. There's an objective marker in that spot. I was really frustrated after going to Rugged Shoals and running all over the place trying to find the right spot. Had to go to another guide to see if there was a better explanation, only to find out I wasn't even in the correct region.
