Description

Well, I'm sure you've figured it out by now, eh? I never was fixing to abandon the crew, I just wanted to move up the ranks. You've helped me out a great deal in that respect. Speaking of respect, I believe there's the matter of Captain Hartford's lockbox... Here's the code, courtesy of the fallen captain. Just as I promised. It's all yours! Now, don't go telling anyone about our little arrangement, okay? I wouldn't want something like that to spoil such a profitable partnership!

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.
