I experienced the same issue as above while multiboxing my 37 Warrior and 36 Rogue, but only on my Warrior, weird. After submitting a ticket to GM, I got the standard "thank you, this issue has been elevated to our QA department" reply.

After trying to logout from the game in several locations, with no success, I flew to Northern STV, which caused me to loose the "Piracy" buff. Upon return to Cape STV, the "Piracy" buff returned and reset. The Bloodsail mobs now appeared friendly, allowing me to turn in "Cannonball" and "Bane Of Every Pirate" quests.

It appears that a work around for this issue is to leave the Cape STV area completely and then return, until Blizz can correct the issue.

Oh, once you have reset the buff, I would recommend not logging out, as I did, because logging appears to re-create the issue, again, and the Bloodsail mobs will once again turn unfriendly. I had to leave the area and fly back in to reset the "Piracy" buff (p.i.t.a.).

Description

Gum disease. It's a real problem, {race}. I know you're new and all, and probably haven't ever needed your gums cut, but the rest of us pirates have to deal with a little thing called SCURVY. It's why we keep so many limes around here. Well... we used to keep limes around here. Someone made off with our last shipment, but they can't have gone far - maybe to the nearby islands? Bring them back, and maybe I'll see what I can do to get you promoted from swabbie.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Cannonball SwimThe Cape of Stranglethorn · Level 10-30

    Help out a fellow swabbie? Keelhaul asked me to gather up some cannonballs at the bottom of the ocean. Let me tell you why this doesn't work for me. - One: I have tiny arms. Look at them! Do you really think I can pick up a cannonball, even underwater? - Two: I have a weak respiratory system.
