Description

I was recently made aware of a small group of Booty Bay Buccaneers who have landed and set up camp just outside the celebration area to the north.

Pirates aren't inherently a problem, per se, but they do introduce an element of chaotic unpredictability. I know you're busy, but would you mind checking on them to see if they need any assistance?

If you thought that warbands means you can pick up this quest on any alt, you were wrong.
While I could do Chapter 2 on a different toon than Chapter 1 and mix it up wihout any problems, Alyx wasn't offering the pirates questline. There seems to be a hidden requirement - the alt that did Chapter 2 can pick this up, but she was already lvl 80 and I also wanted xp, since I was doing these quests anyway. On a new alt I had to do the whoooole thing again, from the start. It knows I did it already (Your warband has completed this quest) but won't let you pick up just what you're missing. Why would it make your life easier? Why would a video game be less stressful than your job? Also doesn't give any more Bronze Celebration Tokens, just xp and 5-10 Timewarped Badges. Apart from Spot the Difference for some reason, which did give Bronze Celebration Tokens - 5 of them, if memory serves.
