RewardsInformant's Gloves, Belt of Supremacy, Sea Baron's Breastplate, 21g, 5,150 XP

Description

I want to know details, {name}. Our supremacy over the Bloodsail is due largely in part to our stronghold here in Booty Bay, but intelligence also plays a critical role. The Bloodsail maintain a few meager camps to the south which they call their "Southern Command." Well, you're going to raid their excuse for a southern command, find their plans, and slaughter their men. Return with whatever information you can find.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Baron Must Be ToldThe Cape of Stranglethorn · Level 10-30

    Shiver me timbers! So the Bloodsail Buccaneers are planning some sort of attack on Booty Bay? Why, the nerve of those scoundrels. Booty Bay will always be run by the Blackwater Raiders! This is bigger than I thought. Report what you have learned to Baron Revilgaz at once!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Up to SnuffThe Cape of Stranglethorn · Level 10-30

    Ah, the sea life. I ain't gonna say it's the good life, but it's my life. When I get into port I like to find me a good bottle of grog and some high quality snuff. Nasty habits but what's a pirate without his vices, right?
