Message in a Bottle

Find the author of the message in a bottle.
Provided Item:
Carefully Folded Note

Description

The note reads, in fairly good handwriting:

To any that can aid me-

Please, my need for help is dire. A great Skymane holds me captive on an island in the South Seas.

The stars at night are foreign to me and obscured by the jungle trees, but on the clearest days I see Wild Shore to the northwest, and what seem to be large sailing ships to the southwest.

I beg of you, my would-be savior, please help me.

Completion

Have you come to free me?

This does NOT require LVL45, my toon was LVL43 and completed it, even tho the random drop quest item from the bottles was flagged as requires LVL45 I was able to click on it and start the quest. see the screenshot.

This quest took me 17 bottles to get the note, it can be a pain in the ass but its worth it, Nice xp and good item.

I love the Donkey Kong references. You're saving a princess that's being held against her will by a giant evil gorilla.

Jaguero Isle USED to be full of level 50's until the 2.3 Patch where it was nerfed to easy low 40s. No need to worry anymore about those.

This Quest and it's follow up are extremley easy, did Soloed on my 42 Hunter without breaking a sweat

More loneliness
Than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair

Looking for a home

This Quest is no longer removed, You can find bottles along the coast and accept the quest.

I also love how the goal of this quest is to slaughter cats and gorillas when i could probably just break her shackles with my axe and have her jump in my 2 person mount to get away.
