The mobs you need to kill can be found between the flightmaster and the arena near the north of freehold.
Be aware that when you attack a mob from a specific faction such as the blacktooth, other mobs of the same faction will come and help out the mob you attack.
Other mobs from a different faction will remain neutral, unless you use AoE attacks and they get hit by it.

Normally your hat gets removed when you attack someone in freehold, but not while on this quest if you attack the right kind of mobs.

A WORD OF ADVICE: You will be given an Irontide pirate disguise (extra action button) for the Dress to Impress, which allows you to do that one and several others, as you will be neutral to Freehold citizens. DO NOT DO Fairwind's "Friends" until you've done (and turned in) everything else in Freehold. When that quest is complete, you will lose your disguise! It makes it very hard to do the other quests or even just to turn them in, because you'll have to kill everything in your path!

Quests in the main Freehold line: The Keys to Success in Freehold, Raise a Glass!, Rodrigo's Roost, The Big Job and Fairwind's "Friends".

Freehold side quests: Recruiting Efforts, Flew the Coop, Rodrigo's Revenge, Missing Treasure!, Loaded for Bear, The Beatings Will Continue, and Rig Robbing.

Description

So the Irontide Raiders are bringing the various outlaw crews together for a big job using weapons provided by the Ashvane Company. Something tells me they're not going fishing. We should see if members of the smaller crews are carrying any notes or orders. I trust you can handle it? I need to lay low and catch up with Venrik. If anyone else were to recognize me, the odds of them offering a friendly drink are precisely zero.

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.

    Pleased to meet you. Name's Venrik. I been scrapin' out a living here in Freehold for years. Flynn used to be a regular back when he... well I shouldn't say too much. A man's past is his own.

    The captain of the Irontide Raiders, Harlan Sweete, has it in his tiny head that he's in charge of Freehold now. He's been forcing the smaller crews to pledge their loyalty, and littering the whole town with his damn recruiting posters. Do me a favor and take down any of them posters you find.
