Description
There's a lot to do here, {class}, but we need to keep an eye out for the gifts of fate. When the flood rolled in, right over our houses, it swept a good number of ocean dwellers with it. Menethil Bay's full of crabs now, large and ripe for the picking. When life gives you crabs, go crab fishing, I say. Bring me back the largest, meatiest claws you can find and I'll pay you.
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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Assault on Menethil Keep
We'd barely pulled ourselves together after the flood when the Dark Iron hit the town. My men and I all rushed to defend the townsfolk, but the crazed fools retreated right into the keep itself. They're holed up good, and we can't destroy the keep. Not with half the town in ruins already.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Reclaiming Goods
Not long ago a merchant vessel, the Blind Princess, was raided by murlocs. Although the ship escaped intact, much of its cargo was dragged overboard by the creatures, including a very valuable statuette of Terenas Menethil. We want that statuette recovered.
