A Message in a Bottle is a quest source that can provide one random Quest into the Quest Radial. The quest may be a X Marks the Spot Map, Riddle Map, Bounty Map, Trade Good Commission, or Cargo Run. These Quests are independent and do not count toward the progress of other voyages.
The bottle has a white glint, which can be seen from a distance.

A Message in a Bottle can be found from the following sources:
- Chance to find beached above or below the shorelines of Islands
