Description

Any shipping crew I had that you don't see hanging around this camp are DEAD! Those were some fine goblins, but what's worse is they're all still out there! It's a TRAGEDY! I mean, it's a tragedy they still have all their stuff! It's horrifying to think of all the perfectly good materials and coins sitting out there in the water. Hey! You can do me a favor! If you're killing gilblins out there, go get the ditty bags off my old crewmen! C'mon, they're not gonna need it anymore! Be real!

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.

  • Kill GilSwamp of Sorrows · Level 15-30

    Gilblins! <Larry stares at you silently for a while.> You never seen a gilblin before? They're crazy! Crazier than me! I just blow stuff up for a living, these guys are WHACKED! Dunno where they came from, but they're like awful fish goblins! Gills and everything!

After this quest

  • In With a BangSwamp of Sorrows · Level 15-30

    Our trade frigate's still all the way out there on the water, swarming with Gilblins! AHH! Sorry about that. But really! We need a way to get you out there and get back our stuff. There's quality goods left on that ship! QUALITY! LIKE MY MIDDLE NAME! Lucky for you, I have an idea!
