Description

The attack on Booty Bay is looming. You'll have to return to Booty Bay quickly and inform the Baron. First, however, it might be a good idea to sabotage some of the pirates' supplies while you're still in their favor. The pirates keep most of their supplies belowdecks, spread out across the entire fleet.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Brashtide CrewThe Cape of Stranglethorn · Level 10-30

    The charts mention a group called the Brashtide Crew. This name is new to you, though you've heard about a few other newcomers to the Buccaneers. Maybe it's time you paid them a visit and found out what they know.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Making MutinyThe Cape of Stranglethorn · Level 10-30

    Before returning to Booty Bay, you should do everything you can to weaken the Bloodsail Buccaneers. Unfortunately, even as captain, you're prohibited from killing other buccaneers in cold blood. Only a Fleet Master can do that. You can, however, put mutineers to the sword...
