The Captain's Chest

Bring Smotts' Chest to Hecklebury Smotts in Booty Bay.
Smotts' Chest

Description

I used to sail a ship from here all the way to Ratchet, in Kalimdor. I was a successful captain with a sterling reputation.

Until...

Those cursed sea giants ruined me! They smashed my ship, killed my crew, and set me on a lifeboat to Booty Bay. And one of the giants, Gorlash, stole my Captain's Chest. He said he wanted it for a snuffbox. The nerve!

I hear Gorlash wanders the coast east of here. Find him and get back my chest! Do that, and you'll have earned a captain's gratitude.

Reward

You will receive:
Bloodband Bracers

Progress

Ahoy, <name>! Did you find Gorlash? That chest was my favorite, and it has a hidden compartment that held my greatest treasures!

Completion

You found it! Oh happy day, this is! Thank you, <name>. Getting back my chest cools some of the fire in me.

But my revenge isn't complete...

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 315 experience (18 90 at max. level)

To find Gorlash, leave Booty Bay from the tunnel, then head to the east coast. You should pass through an area with Bloodsail mages/swashbucklers. As soon as you hit the beach, start running north. You should see Gorlash walking around in the ocean (he's huge and hard to miss).

Gorlash is a level 47 elite giant, so come prepared. Two shamans (mid to late 40s) did this with no problems. Probably a good idea to bring some healing. Total time from getting quest, finding and killing Gorlash, then returning is maybe ten minutes.

I was able to solo this quest as a 47 Hunter. I sent in my pet and healed him after every 2 Arcane Shots. My pet died with Gorlash's last blow.

I too was able to solo this quest as a lvl 46 Affliction spec'd Lock. As said before, key is to keep Gorlash feared &amp; dot'd at all times as he hits very hard.

The directions are precise. And he's definitely hard to miss.

If you have sucky bracers and could use those [see required level: 35], or if you're just lazy and impatient, you could kite him back to the entrance of the Booty Bay entrance. The goblins will take care of him.

Gorlash can rooted, stunned, slowed and novaed. Take caution to stay clear of the Bloodsail mobs. You might outrun them too but you might be slowed as well.

Duo'd him as a level 41 Rogue with a level 37 druid for healing. Reasonably tough for us.

Hope that helps determine his difficulty.

This quest is easily soloable as a shammy. Here's how I did it, as an Ele-spec - Enhance will be harder with the lower mana pool, Resto should be on par. Start out with casting Water Walking on yourself, then backing up to max Lightning Bolt range while standing on the ocean. Cast LB, then Frost Shock, &amp; repeat till he's dead. Downranking Frost Shock is a good idea, if mana becomes an issue, as LB is much more mana efficient dmg-wise. Earthbind Totem works as well, but it's not as reliable. Being on the water means no pesky pirates - just don't let him catch up &amp; whack you.

this quest is WAAAAAAAAAAAAY too easy for hunters. the guy is a lvl 42 elite but he was an easy kill. i did this as a lvl 43 hunter. the moron targeted my pet while i used everything in my arsenal and the occasional https://vanillawowdb.com/?spell=3662 [Mend Pet].

Its just about as easy for any class that has minions and stealth or healing abilities. no chance this even comes close to a group-required quest

Soloed as a lvl39 frost mage. Easy task. At least if you're lucky with frostbite proc.

Just use Frostbolt for main dps. Frost Nova every time you can. When you run OOM, use mana gem.
Frost Nova, Icy Veins, Evocation, and continue with Frostbolt/Frost Nova.

Soloed with my lvl 40 full frost mage. Was not easy, most because I became OOM too fast.
First I popped Mana Shield and Ice Barrier, get max range, popped icy veins and frostbolt, frostbolt, frostbolt... when he gets in melee range I used frost nova, blink to get range again and more frostbolts. At this time my mana pool was low, so I popped cold snap to reset my frost cooldowns, throw frost nova again and evocation.
With my mana pool full again I just finished, but he breaks my ice barrier with 2 hits (500 dmg absorb).

Soloed as a level 40 resto spec druid. Stayed in true form, faerie fired him, quickly cast regrowth and rejuvenation on self before switching to cat form. Used a superior healing potion midway through fight, before refreshing regrowth and rejuvenation. Had to innervate to have enough mana to keep the two HoTs up throughout the fight.

As a 40 rogue, the only thing that made this challenging was pulling him out of the water. As a rogue trying to solo an elite a few levels above me, I obviously wanted to get the jump on him, so using a ranged attack from the shore to pull him obviously wouldn't be smart. I never realized how difficult it is for melee (especially rogues) to fight underwater. Other than that, this fight did not present me with any problems.

Soloed as L39 affliction lock with VW.

1. Send VW
2. Let him get a couple of hits and aggro
3. Dot with Immolate, CoA and Corruption
4. Life Tap
5. Drain Life
6. By now, you should probably get aggro;
7. Curse of Exhaustion
8. Fear
9. Fear and Curse of Exhaustion -lock him
10. Sacrifice if it gets ugly.

Made it without pots or anything like that. Piece of cake :)

To do it with a warlock [any demon]:

- Open with an immolate
- Corruption
- CoA
- Fear
- Repeat

He shouldn't hit you, when the fear wears off just re-cast as soon as he's in range, if you do get hit, channel drain life when he has been re-feared.

Did this as a level 37 warlock using this method.

very easy , done as 40 afly warlock:

first be ensure that you got a healthstone(rank4-5)
a voidwalker
improved fear talent
and the bane talent so you can take mana from your pet:

well the fight isnt a 80 icc encounter , in the other hand , for players that are new to affliction is preety hard:

we begin casting dots(demage over time spells)(corruption, curse of agony)
when he is almost touching us we use fear
we drain life him while he feared and he will come back , we fear him again
if we ran out of mana we life tap(while he is in fear phase) and drain life should restore the life; we altough can bane our pet

repeat the process a few times , dont be ashamed of the low dps , he gets killed to easy

oh i forgot; if we have nightfall , we must use that shadowbolt , we cant miss it ;

hope it helps!

This quest is still doable, i was able to pick up the quest, kill the Giant, and return the chest in for a reward.
He is just hard to find... he walks up and down the coast near the oil refinery.

This quest was marked obsolete by Blizzard and cannot be obtained or completed.Well, it's certainly still obtainable - I picked it up today (9/23/11) while finishing up the Gurubashi/Zandalari questline (yes, I know that took me long enough =P). I haven't been able to *locate* the giant yet, tho. I'll update this if I manage to find him and turn in the quest. For now, I'm considering it 'accidentally still obtainable but not submitable'. Sadness, for a completion ^&amp;*!@ like me, tho =(

This is an obsolete version of https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=26599"">(Quest #26599). You'll note both quests have the same name/objective/rewards, but the current quest is for level 31-33, while the outdated one is for level 42-45. Many zones changed levels at the start of Cataclysm, leading to quests with the same name but different level requirements.
