Island Expedition (ID 51903)

Island Expedition is an Alliance-only quest for level 40-60. It is step 1 of 3 in the Island Expedition storyline, the opening step. The quest's turn-in marker is in Tiragarde Sound at 73.5, 27.8. It rewards 1,000 experience and money.

Description

Our spies have intercepted a Horde message describing an outcropping of Azerite out in the Great Sea.

The Wind's Redemption isn't quick enough to get us there before they do. Lucky for us, I've arranged to have a Kul Tiran ship rigged and ready to go for opportunities like this.

Go speak with Captain Flynn Fairwind. He's been briefed, and should be waiting for you.

LMBO, Ok, piece of cake doing the quest. That's not the issue here. When you're done and arrive back in Boralus Harbor, Blizzard programmers seem to have forgotten to give us a way OFF the ship. Except, jump into the water or onto the pier. Um, programmers, what about a gang plank? Most ships (every ship I've been on anyway) has a gang plank to allow passengers and crew to walk off.

Well, it's not like it's a LONG jump down. But really programmers, did you even think about how we'd get off the ship? Or, were your sights set to when we can fly?

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
