contents In this paper we give an algorithm to find the 3-torsion subgroup of the Jacobian of a smooth plane quartic curve with a marked rational point. We describe $3-$torsion points in terms of cubics which triply intersect the curve, and use this to define a system of equations whose solution set corresponds to the coefficients of these cubics. We compute the points of this zero-dimensional, degree $728$ scheme first by approximation, using homotopy continuation and Newton-Raphson, and then using continued fractions to obtain accurate expressions for these points. We describe how the Galois structure of the field of definition of the $3$-torsion subgroup can be used to compute local wild conductor exponents, including at $p=2$.
