Infobox • Talk page

Goshima is an island in The Arc region of the Wushanko Isles. The island was once home of a people suspicious of outsiders, who lived in the heavily fortified village of Gongdung. The island was abandoned after the island's khan was resurrected as a jiangshi, the inhabitants of Gongdung and Goshima either fled or were killed by the jiangshi, who continued to haunt the island's shores.

Getting there

• Players can travel to Goshima by talking to Quartermaster Gully located in Port Sarim, or Menaphos, after the player has completed the quest Impressing the Locals.

Notable features

• A dead moai, that releases negative energy springs, which when harvested at 90 Divination, gives negative energy and 33.5 experience per harvest. If you have positive energy (harvestable at 90 Divination) in your inventory, the negative and positive energy will combine and create ancestral energy.
• 4 mushroom clusters
  • Containing the following kinds of Wushanko mushrooms: wushroom, immorel, corpsebloom, snufftruffle, and buttercap
• Weather (rain)
• 2 Rumberry bushes

Trivia

• The destroyed druid colony is the same colony player helps druids to establish in the Player-owned port minigame voyage, A New Home.
• Gongdung may be a reference to Guangdong, the richest province in China that is also the country's largest importer and exporter of goods.
• When translated in Japanese (五島 goshima), Goshima means 'five island'.
• The symbol of the Void Knights may be seen in Gongdung.
• One of the corpses lying on the ground has the examine text "He's dead, Jim". This is a reference to Star Trek.
• One of the corpses lying on the ground has the examine text "Funny. She doesn't look druish". This is a reference to Spaceballs.
• One of the corpses lying on the ground has the examine text "Something killed him, not the bees" This is a reference to The Wicker Man.
• Dispelling a Jiangshi is supposed to cure any beings afflicted by its curse. While this worked on Lookout Ekahi, it does not work on the undead pekins found on Goshima, who remain undead even after Final Destination is completed. This could be an oversight, or perhaps their affliction is from a different source.
