Description

Avast! Who goes there?

Argh, I am but useless without me special enchanted eye. Bad enough to have lost me eyes in battle in the first place! But by some stroke o' luck we docked in Menethil and a traveling wizard enchanted a special glass eye that let me see again.

Last night I ended up gettin' jumped by some Bloodsail Buccaneers on me way out. Took me eye, they did! Seems those blokes have found their way to Booty Bay.

Help an old sea dog out by gettin' me eye back?

There's an elemental type mob (looks more like a mechanical, but it goes as elemental) at the steering wheel of one of the Bloodsail ships off the eastern coast. His/her/its name is Brutus and killing him/her/it did not make me lose any Bloodsail rep. Also according to the wowhead comments on the pre-shattering version of this quest he used to have a 100% or at least very high drop rate for the eye. After one kill I cannot tell if it's still that high but he did drop the eye for me immediately (after I lost like 200 Bloodsail rep for killing pirates without getting the quest item, sigh. So if you want to do those quests and keep the Bloodsail rep damage as low as possible go straight for Brutus.)

If you find yourself having this quest while doing the bloodsail quest chain, and the npcs are friendly, there's a quest in the chain Making Mutiny that lets you attack bloodsail corsairs, and I had the eye drop this way.

However, completing the quest decreased my bloodsail rep and did not open any more quests for me in booty bay.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Up to SnuffThe Cape of Stranglethorn · Level 10-30

    Ah, the sea life. I ain't gonna say it's the good life, but it's my life. When I get into port I like to find me a good bottle of grog and some high quality snuff. Nasty habits but what's a pirate without his vices, right?

After this quest

  • Getting In With the BloodsailThe Cape of Stranglethorn · Level 10-30

    These plans are... interesting. Firallon, you're smarter than this! Look, he has all three ships devoted to cannon fire, and only a few men coming in through the tunnel. He can never take Booty Bay with three ships and a dozen footmen. And he knows that. No, they've got something else planned...
