Sunken Treasure

Deliver Seahorn's Letter to Shakes O'Breen in Arathi Highlands.
Seahorn's Sealed Letter
Provided Item:
Seahorn's Sealed Letter

Description

Say, <name>, you seem to be an adventurous type. My fleet is stuck in Booty Bay until we can restock.

There are some heavy things brewing here and abroad and I need to get some top secret correspondence to Shakes O'Breen who is tied up off the Arathi coast.

Can I trust you to deliver this message safely and in confidence?

The quest that everyone is talking about and what this quest leads to, in case someone is reading this and is completely lost, is called Death From Below.

Forget going to the cannon, stay on the dock.&nbsp I only had to fight off 3 lvl 41 nagas alongside a ton of NPCs after waiting there for about a minute.

Maybe everyone has different luck with this quest.&nbsp The ring makes it definitely worth whatever trouble you have.

Do what the quest log says - go up on the ship to the cannon.&nbsp As soon as you see the first 3 coming down the hill (don't get impatient because it seems to take a minute or so after Shakes shouts out orders), right click on the cannon.&nbsp

My first attempt I was like the other sheep here and stood beside him.&nbsp The guards were able to handle the first 3 - but then about a minute later, here came what looked like 8 nagas.&nbsp It's a LONG run back. :/

I abandoned the quest and took it again.&nbsp This time I zimmed right up to the cannon.&nbsp After the first 3 were dead, it said the quest was complete.

Imagine my surprise that more nagas came when I wasn't looking (I was here on thottbot lol) - and killed old shakes.&nbsp So I came here to post this and when I checked, he had respawned and I was able to talk to him and choose my ring.

One thing that I don't understand is old Lolo the Lookout (lvl 39) just stands there or strolls around and doesn't help the guards against the nagas.&nbsp And he's a big ugly ogre!&nbsp lol

Edit: As info - you CAN get to Faldir's cove from the wetlands also.&nbsp :)

The last part of the quest isn't listed?
You get it after delivering the letter, you gotta protect him from some naga's, and you can choose one of two rings, oh well quite easy quest p

When I accepted the follow up quest it took a minute for the Naga to arrive, but when the arrived they showed up in force.&nbsp Roughly 10 lvl 41-43 Mobs came out of the water and headed right for the Capitan.&nbsp Fend them off and the ring is yours.&nbsp

If you wanna finish last part and get ring just stand by him after you take quest!(Don't run to hill like me at first time or else 10 nagas will come out and kill you). After some time 3 nagas will come out. Kill them and quest done. Worked for me ...

When i did the quest... i never went up to the cannon or anything, i stood around.

1minute later, the quest was completed... LOL

The naga never came or anything, easiest quest ever, the 1minute of waiting might be a bit boring though )

There's definitely a bugged follow up quest. I just waited there, not even at at the cannon, and no Naga attacked. Nice ring :)

Taking this letter back to Captain Breen earns you 3150 experience and an increase to your Booty Bay reputation by a 100. It leads to a "Death from Below" which sends several waves of Nagas at the Captain, who you must defend.
