The Bloodsail Buccaneers

Fleet-Master Seahorn in Booty Bay wants you to kill Captain Stillwater, Captain Keelhaul and Fleet Master Firallon.
  •  
Captain Stillwater slain
  •  
Captain Keelhaul slain
  •  
Fleet Master Firallon slain

Description

Blast the nerve of Firallon! He couldn't sail a skiff through Crystal Lake let alone lead an entire fleet against us.

The Bloodsail Buccaneers will pay for their carelessness. Now that we know their plan of attack, we can counter before they know what hit them.

But why send the entire fleet to do the work of one brave adventuring party? <name>, take some of your most skilled comrades out to Firallon's landing spot and assassinate the Bloodsail leadership. Their fleet will sink soon after....

Reward

You will receive:
Blackwater Tunic

Progress

What's the problem, <name>? We need to attack before the Bloodsail Buccaneers do!

Completion

Ah, what a great day for the Blackwater Raiders! Three cheers to you, <name>!

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:

Don't forget to look for the riddle that starts this quest: https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=624 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=624 while you're on the ships; you'll usually find it on the ship that has Captain Stillwater on it - the one that is by itself apart from the other 2 ships (though I'm not too sure if it spawns on the other ships, but my friends told me they also got it the same ship, so... =)

They can all be found in the ships Southeast of Booty Bay.

Stillwater is in the Easternmost ship.
Fleet Master is in the center ship.
Keelhaul is in the Westernmost ship.

The mobs are in very close quarters and they have a tendency to run at low health.

The Swabbies have a Gouge that wipes all aggro from the gouged target, so if you play a pet class, be wary of that.

Don't go down too deep in the ships -- although there are a few levels in them, the named mobs for the quest are all only on their ships' second floor down, in the ""back room"". You'll only need to go down one staircase per ship.

Also, I found Cortello's Riddle in Fleet Master Firallon's ship (the center one), so it might be a random placement between the three ships.

Although the quest is marked level 45 (thus yellow to a level 43), be aware that Fleet Master Firallon is level 48 and surrounded by adds.

As mentioned before it is best to do this quest with a friend if you are lower then aprox level 45.

I have done this quest a couple of times as a lvl42 mage with a lvl43 friend (shaman, priest and warrior). But be carefull with your pulls. The space in these ships is limited and it is easy to pull an entire deck at once (often resulting in a wipe). The captians are in the first deck down, in the front quarters.

Make sure you have some potions with you as well and this quest should give no problems.

Captain Stillwater (gnome) is level 40 and on the Easternmost boat.
Fleet Master Firallon (human) is level 41 and he and his orc friend Ironpatch (level 42) are on the middle boat.
Captain Keelhaul (goblin) is level 40 and his tauren friend Garr Salthoof (level 40) are on the Westernmost boat.

The pattern is essentially the same for all of them: get on the boat, go downstairs, turn right.

Horrible quest for any class with any kind of AoE at all. If you AoE, it goes THROUGH the entire boat no matter what level you are on, and pulls every single mob below and above you.

Frustrating as hell as a frost mage, whenever ice barrier breaks, blizzard goes off, frost nova hits, or arcane explosion comes, you're fighting 7-10 mobs that are hitting you from 30 yards below you, in another part of the ship.

Their fleet will sink soon after....And yet after five years that fleet still hasn't sunk! Go figure.

Trying to do this quest at 38 is exceptionally annoying. I can kill the mobs, albeit with many misses, but trying to get to the last captain I need means fighting mobs who run under and between stairs I can't even cast at, and then bring back the big named who charges through walls, hits me for 700-800, and stuns me.

Garr, you suck. :(
