If you have the glitch, read this:

I found a way to avoid the glitch, and I think I know the cause of the glitch. DO NOT AT ANY TIME USE A FLYING MOUNT DURING THIS QUEST! I could not do this after two hours trying, then I stopped using my flying mount because my mouse had a glitch. I abandoned the quest, then, I acually swam onto the island that the boat docks at(38,75), walked up the ramp, re-accepted the quest. This won't look like it works at first. Walk to the cannon(front of the ship), and as soon as the boat stop, begin firing. At some point, sorlof will appear, if you have been firing enough. Keep firing until he is down, but DO NOT USE A FLYING MOUNT to get the booty, it seems to cause it to phase. Instead, Jump off the boat, and get the booty. the SWIM back to the island that the boat docks at(38,75), wait for the boat to come round, walk up the ramp, and turn in the quest. Jump off the boat.

Flying onto the ship causes sorlof to phase.
Flying off the ship causes sorlof's booty to phase.

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.

  • A Traitor Among UsHowling Fjord · Level 10-30

    Our second in command, Annie Bonn, has been acting rather paranoid as of late. She seems sure we have an infiltrator in our ranks, can ye believe it? Anyhow, we have a foolproof way of uncovering rats around these parts. See, good ole' Zeh'gehn over here happens to be an authentic witch doctor.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Dead Man's DebtHowling Fjord · Level 10-30

    You might've heard of Black Conrad, he's a famous pirate around these parts. Well, he had a thing for gambling on my fights. He had a thing for not paying, too. I'd love to collect, but trouble is... he's dead. I was about ready to write the whole thing off, when I came across this...
