Boarded the ship and the Cpt and Giant spawned, then my dungeon Q came up! Entered the dungeon and when I came out, the Cpt was sitting on the Giant's shoulders under the boat and I couldn't get them to aggro again. Dropped/Picked up the quest a couple times and Logged In/Out, they stayed in the same position. Finally jumped down into the water and got right up inside the Giant and it aggroed, killed it then the Cpt aggroed on me and I killed him. Wouldn't aggro on me until I got right up in the Giant, attempted to DoT both mobs from a distance but it wouldn't take.

Description

Alright, babe, I've got something bigger for you to take on here. We spotted the captain of the Southsea over on one of his boats to the south; that's to the south, and NOT the one we've been suicidally bum-rushing for the better part of several hours. He's sitting up there, smug and stoic, watching us war down here. I'll spare you the "hostile takeover" jokes. Get on his ship and beat the tar out of him, and we're done here!

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.

  • Filling Our PocketsTanaris · Level 15-30

    We've looted everything that isn't bolted down around here, but I'm not done yet. If we're bothering to do the Steamwheedle Cartel's dirty work for them, we're going to make as much cash as we can while we're here.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Bootlegger OutpostTanaris · Level 15-30

    We've done a bang up job here. I'm gonna make sure these mooks finish properly and then head back to Gadgetzan for a bit. If you want to keep making a good impression on our Steamwheedle friends, or just make more money, you should head southwest of here.
