Description

<The ship's cannons are currently pointed at the other Forsaken ship across the water.

However, it appears the crew hasn't loaded them with gunpowder or cannonballs yet... Probably to avoid any accidental firings while they're anchored here.

Yes, it'd be a real shame if "accidental" cannon fire damaged the other ship.>

If you're like me and didn't complete this quest before you left the ship, complete it, swim out in the water and you'll get a special action flare to summon the guy back down. After you fly up for a moment, you can turn it in.

Collect [item=162528], [item=162529], [item=162537] then fire 3 cannons.
Right now if you're doing this quest after you turned the previous one you have to jump in water and swim away from the ship until Signal Falstad extra button appears, click on it and he'll catch you.

You have to find three things through the ship:

[item=162528] can be found in the stern room, left of the cannons.

[item=162529] is located between the middle and the right one cannons.

[item=162537] is on the wall right of the cannon

After comleting the task go outside and use extra button to call for Falstad.
If no button appears you may try to jump into the water and swim away. It worked for me.

Quest Line

Storyline

Blood in the Water

Part 4 of 11.

We've intercepted a Horde missive, and learned that Blood Lord Dreven is currently aboard a Horde ship on the Great Sea. We've lost too many good men to Dreven. It's time to make him pay.

Previous: Behind Enemy Boats · Next: The Wildhammer Specialty

Storyline order is the client’s own QuestLine data from the current retail build.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Behind Enemy BoatsLevel 50
This is where our information ends, <name>. Blood Prince Dreven is lurking in one of those Forsaken boats, but we don't know which boat or which section of that boat he's in. We'll split up and hit the boats simultaneously, so the Horde has less time to react.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

The Wildhammer SpecialtyLevel 50
Well, if ye didn't find Blood Prince Dreven on yer ship, he must be hiding on the other one. I can take ye down to it, but the Horde knows we're here now. What do ye say we create some distractions to hold their attention while we hunt down Dreven? Me Wildhammers are itchin' tae let the hammers fly.
