Disarming the Cannons is an Alliance-only quest for level 35-60. It is step 6 of 13 in the Mole Machinations storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Zuldazar at 77.5, 54.6. It rewards 8,150 experience and money.

Description

With your arrival, our salvation may have arrived. Your rowboats will serve as a way for us to evacuate the most critically injured.

Unfortunately, the Horde have brought in a ship, and there's no way we can get our boats past their blockade.

While the rest of us load our injured on the boats, we need you to infiltrate their ship and disable those cannons.

There is a slender rope on the west side of the ship.
Use this to board.

Stealthing druids, be aware that you will be unstealthed when you use the rope and you will get mobbed by four bad guys at once. Not sure about rogues.
