TheWoWDBThe drop rate for the cutlass is quite low. I had to clear the debris a little over 2 times before it finally dropped.
At BfA launch there was one debris that floated in the air, but it did not matter.

Cleared all the debris with no luck and now I'm sitting around waiting for them to respawn. It's taking a long time...
Worst quest in BFA. Cleared all them and still no cutlass.

Description
I have a task that I can't really trust to anyone else, and I feel you could handle it with the reverence it deserves. An old friend of mine came to me today, bringing a wilted sea stalk flower with her. Her husband was on a ship south east of Freehold. I'm not sure if it was pirates, the Horde, or a squall, but she said she didn't want revenge, just closure. If you could get her something to remember him by, I'll tell you everything I know about sea stalks, and you'd have my gratitude.
