Subzone: Seafarers Tomb - 44, 19

Spawns an helmet, i would say, every 1 or 2 mins.

Took me like 10min to find first one... but then found that spot and got the 4 of them there in less then 3 min.

Good luck guys ;)

As of 3 hours after launch on US-Laughing Skull, there seems to be an extreme shortage of Stormwind Helms.

Shields come only from the Scavengers.
Breastplates drop off both the Scavengers and can be found on the sea floor.
Spears are very plentiful, spread across the sea floor.
Helms are on the sea floor...

To give an idea of the wait time, I had the quest otherwise done 30 minutes ago. And I still only have 2 helms.

What to do

StorylineVashj'ir, Kelp'thar Forest & Shimmering Expanse, step 7 of 149

Description

As we struggled not to drown, my men and I were forced to abandon our weapons and much of our armor. Erunak says to expect a major attack from the naga soon and I'm inclined to believe him. If we're going to stand a chance, we'll need your help to recover our lost armaments. They should be lying on the sea floor near our shipwrecks. Hurry, {race}, we're defenseless here.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Traveling on Our StomachsKelp'thar Forest · Level 30-35

    I'll need your help if I am to get these men ready for battle. Any decent leader knows that his men travel and fight on their stomachs. No food, no victory. These soldiers are weak from their recent ordeal. They'll need sustenance if they're to put up any kind of fight when the need arises.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Stormwind Elite Aquatic and Land ForcesKelp'thar Forest · Level 30-35

    You've done us a great service, <class>, so I'm going to let you in on a little secret. The men you've saved today aren't your everyday Stormwind troops.
