Captain Hartford

Captain Hartford is a quest for level 30-60 in Vol'dun. It is step 3 of 4 in the Ashvane Antics storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Vol'dun at 43.2, 90.9. It rewards 10,200 experience and money.

Description

I'm almost ready to leave Vol'dun once and for all. There's just one thing left to be done...

We need to murder the captain of the ship.

If Captain Hartford finds out I've deserted, I won't be safe in Boralus or anywhere else. He'll hunt me to the Eastern Kingdoms and back if he has to!

This will be dangerous. So you'll want to disguise yourself before boarding The Siren's Call.

This will be our last job together. Do it and I'll give you the code to the captain's lockbox. A pirate's bounty!

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.

  • Seafaring NecessitiesVol'dun · Level 30-60

    She might not be much to look at, but this boat will take me back to Boralus. Before my voyage can begin, I'll need a few seafaring necessities. Luckily, everything I need can be found in the Ashvane encampment.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Captain's CacheVol'dun · Level 30-60

    Well, I'm sure you've figured it out by now, eh? I never was fixing to abandon the crew, I just wanted to move up the ranks. You've helped me out a great deal in that respect. Speaking of respect, I believe there's the matter of Captain Hartford's lockbox...
