Fresh Pots

Fresh Pots is a quest for level 30-35 in Dread Wastes. It is step 51 of 58 in the Dread Wastes storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Dread Wastes at 54.7, 72.1. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 4,800 experience and money.

Description

We got a load of empty crab pots out there that need fresh bait.

Now, we COULD pull them one at a time and bait them up here in comfort. A nice chair to sit on, maybe a hot cup of tea to keep you warm. Sounds nice, doesn't it?

Never gonna happen.

Head to Lonesome Cove, immediately southeast, and bait those pots with two chunks of fresh sea monarch. By "fresh" I mean killed right there in the water.

Oh, and by "pots" I mean traps. If you wanna be part of the crew, you'd better learn the lingo.

Go to the Area west of the green penisula SE of the quest giver

.. if you get in a current swim sideways against it.. you'll get out of it.

.. Drop rate at that locationwas over 100%, from reading other comments it sounds like you might be better off not saving up to 20... i saved 4 or 5 at a time and used them (2per) to bait the traps spawing around me. I'd guess killing 15 to 17 yellow fish total would be enough.

... you should be able to complete the feed-the-otters quest while focusing on waiting form more of the yellow fish(which drop the needed items) to come into range . To avoid the non-quest blue fish I didn't venture too far from the cliff, atlhough I could have gone farther without being washed away.

.... you will likely need to kill a few of the blue groupers ...but they had a very small agro zone though for me at lvl 89 just a matter if you wanted to be patient or swim into danger to get the fish with the quest drops

... of course, as a holy pally all the fisht took almost minute each to kill with the Blue non quest fish taking longer...but thats the breaks of the class and spec

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Mazu's BreathDread Wastes · Level 30-35

    Here to help, are ya? Well, first thing's first. <Arie rummages through her pockets for a moment before producing a small vial of glowing blue fluid.> Here it is! "Mazu's Breath." Cap'n's own formula. What? You thought I'd send you out to sea without a means of breathin'?

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • You Otter KnowDread Wastes · Level 30-35

    You know what happened to the bait in those pots? Otters. That's what happened. They prefer fresh clams, but they'll pick our crab traps clean if they're hungry enough. The otters in Lonesome Cove are protected by law and we run a legitimate operation here.
