One of the more annoying quests that I've done in quite awhile. If the terrible drop rate wasn't bad enough the crab that seems to spawn almost every time is over the top.
Tried to do this one. I checked all the Flotsam except the one floating about 30 feet in the air. That's probably the one. ***After a while, more did respawn and finally found it. Watch out for the sharks and sirens.

Description
I have a task dat I can not really trust to anyone else, and I feel you could handle it with de reverence it deserves. An old friend came to me today, bringing a wilted sea stalk flower with her. Her husband was on a ship off the coast of Nazmir. I am unsure if de ship went down because of de naga, de Alliance, or a squall, but she said she did not want revenge. Only closure. If you could go get her something to remember him by, I will tell you everything I know about sea stalks.
