1. Go as fast as you can on this map.
2. If you want to win quickly; go seaward, then south through the rock crags next to the Island of fortune; 
after going through the quest guard; go south to the land quest guard who demands 10 mercury. Give him the mercury, then
go forward and grab the scroll [Fly]. Fly West.
