Location of Erud's Crossing Isle:

From boat that goes from Qeynos to Erudin it is the stop at halfway point,
boat will dock there for a couple of minutes...

From boat that goes from Erudin to Qeynos - 1) Ride all the way back around
to get the dock mentioned above but this is a LONG trip.
2) As soon as you zone from Erudin to Erud's Crossing, face off the
right-hand side of the boat (South, I think), jump and swim straight ahead,
you can't miss the Isle, you'll see it on the horizon fairly quickly...

TIPS:
The spiders and wisps do help each other so be careful of attracting
multiples.
Since the wisps help each other, it is best to hit them from afar and take
them down the hill to the beach area out of their normal traveling paths...

Wisps require a magical weapon to melee successfully.
Spiders have nasty poison, don't fight them without group, even then it's
best to have someone who can cure poison
Snakes have much weaker poison
DON'T kill the beetles there, they are protected by the Kerran cats that are
on the island.
Hopefully you can hook up with someone on the island who can 'show you the
ropes' firsthand ))

Good Luck!
