The Missing Admiral

The Missing Admiral is an Alliance-only quest for level 10-35 in The Jade Forest. It is step 3 of 13 in The Jade Forest, The Waterspeaking Ceremony storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in The Jade Forest at 54.2, 82.5. It rewards 2,400 experience and money.

Description

Alright. According to the clues you found, that was Anduin's ship, and Admiral Taylor was the captain.

And Admiral Taylor's last entry says he was going to fight off the hozen and protect the vessel after the shipwreck.

The locals say these hozen sometimes take prisoners, and I didn't see Taylor's corpse anywhere among the wreckage. So you'll probably find Taylor at the hozen encampment to the northeast.

Get going, we have no time to lose!

If you get to this spot and he's not lying in the cage, leave the vicinity, log out and come back in.

As a rogue, i had invis'd into the camp but the NPC wasn't showing in that middle/circle cage deal. Did the above and he then showed up. Not sure if being invis didn't trigger him to show up or something.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Hozen Aren't Your Friends, Hozen Are Your EnemiesThe Jade Forest · Level 10-35

    We've located an Alliance wreck to the south. Unfortunately, the locals have informed us that it's currently being scavenged by a group of creatures called "hozen." By pillaging our wrecked ships, these creatures have already shown that they aren't friendly.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Path of WarThe Jade Forest · Level 10-35

    I see you want to save your friend. I can help you, if you will help me. First of all, it should be obvious that the fewer the Slingtail roaming around, the easier it will be to escape. Kill the hozen guards around us, and we will be one step closer to freedom.
