Old Colleagues

Old Colleagues is a Horde-only quest for level 50. It is step 3 of 13 in The Strike on Boralus storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Tiragarde Sound at 87.0, 53.3. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 8,500 experience and money.

Description

The people in charge of those two ships are old colleagues of mine, <name>.

They did not achieve their rank through hard work as I did, but rather through deception and blackmail.

I think they deserve the hammer of karma. Or whatever weapon you prefer.

Hobart Grapplehammer to be specific. Thank you, I'm getting really sick of playing "how do I board THIS ship?" every other quest. No map highlights, no quest dialog, nothing pointing to some obscure method to board is getting old.
