Scrounged this up, and got a little more extra information on this rumor... which, as it turned out, isn't a rumor.
Getting Adept books!
To get there:
Leave the Nektulos docks and go down the beach to the right. You will see two camps next to each other.
Each camp is randomly populated with solo, 2 monster Mobs, 3 monster Mobs, and an occasional 4 monster Mob.
The Pirate captain will ALWAYS appear with two other pirates. He is usually ++, but green at level 27-29. Almost all the other mobs there are grey to you, by the time you get to level 28.
Any place that can hold 3 person Mobs can be a placeholder. I heard that the pirate captain 3 person group can spawn at 3 different spots in both camps and sometimes, all at the same time, and in almost every spot at least once.
Where they appear, depends on what spots are open to spawn at. One person claims that two pirate captain mobs were popping on two spots every spawn, but after someone pulled a 2 person mob and 2 solo mobs to the guards and got them killed, they no longer spawned those spots.
So... if you can get it to a point where you have all spawn spots filled up, and two captain mobs are there, try to just kill the captain mobs, it seems they will respawn consistently as long as non of the other placeholders die. Also note, the spawn rate is like every 2-3 minutes seemingly.
They drop a chest about 85% of the time. Not many rares, but seem to drop books a lot.
The other 3 person/2 person mobs do seem to drop chests frequently also. It is not neerly as frequent as captain mobs, but decent rate non the less. Treasure seems to follow same ratio as above.
If you happen to do a lot of hunting in TS, I'm also hearing that they revamped TS and made a lot of the ++/^^ mobs, into solo whereas they used to be grouped.
