Head south to the Inn; however, should you require detailed directions:

* Head to the Bilgewater Harbor Inn (loc @ 57,50).
* Go upstairs.
* Target the Bilgewater Foreman and talk to him (screenshot submitted as well).

This will trigger the event and you will get to fight the Foreman. Once the Foreman's HP is low enough, he will ask you for mercy and promise to work extra hours lol. Fun little quest and I hope this helps.

Description

<It's not hard to see why the Foebreaker is behind schedule. Every other day, a foreman comes in and changes the blueprints.> <Most troubling are the recent alterations. The workers have been ordered to remove rivets to save on costs!> <You'd better track down one of the Bilgewater foremen responsible for this and make an example out of him, before any Horde lives are lost in a faulty ship.>

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Ready the NavyAzshara · Level 30-35

    Hellscream expects an armada of ships for his invasion, but the docks here are weeks behind schedule. Costs are rampant and quality is poor. Corruption is the problem, <name>! And I need you to root it out. The Foebreaker, a warship berthed at the northwest pier, should have been outfitted days ago.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Twilight SkiesAzshara · Level 30-35

    I just got word from Orgrimmar that the Warchief wants us to move out. We wouldn't have been ready if it wasn't for your help! The plan is for the air fleet to take off immediately, and for the navy to follow close behind.
