What's amusing is that the cannonballs you need for the quest is next to a group of scared guys (Narkk, Kelsey Yance, Mazk Snipeshot, Kizz Bluntstrike, Markel Smythe and Haren Kenmae) being protected by a single woman named Zarena Cromwind.

Description

I've got an idea, but it's going to involve some footwork on your part. As a goblin cartel, the Blackwater Raiders have a lot of explosives on hand. In fact, I know for a fact that our old friend Narkk keeps a case in the back of his shop, in the Old Port Authority. Go grab them and bring them here, if they haven't already exploded.

Where to go

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Return to RevilgazThe Cape of Stranglethorn · Level 10-30

    Something is happening outside. Could the Bloodsail already be here? You'd better get Revilgaz his doublerum. Quickly.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Seeking SeahornThe Cape of Stranglethorn · Level 10-30

    When the Brashtide pulled in, Seahorn grabbed the nearest weapon he could find and jumped off the ledge here. You'll find him down below, probably pounding new holes into those worgen's skulls. Help him out down there. I can handle the motivation from up here.
