Southsea Shakedown

Security Chief Bilgewhizzle of Steamwheedle Port in Tanaris wants you to kill 10 Southsea Pirates, 10 Southsea Freebooters, 10 Southsea Dock Workers and 10 Southsea Swashbucklers.

	Southsea Pirate slain (10)
	Southsea Freebooter slain (10)
	Southsea Dock Worker slain (10)
	Southsea Swashbuckler slain (10)

Description

Argh! They want the impossible from me!

The Steamwheedle Cartel wants me to teach the Southsea pirates a lesson. The problem is that I can't be in two places at once; I need to stay here to keep the peace.

Of late, the pirates have been disregarding the protection money that the cartel regularly forks over. So I'd like to temporarily deputize you to go down there and show them what for.

You'll find them at Lost Rigger Cove, which is not too far to the south. Thanks <name>, I'll owe you one!

By the way ya hand it in in Steamwheedle Port.

Yeh this quest is a fun one, the Swashbucklers can get anoying with their disarm, but I thought it was funny when I disarmed them and than they disarmed me and we were having a fist fight :). The best place for the Swashbucklers is on the boat as you can get many of them on their own, as a rogue just sneak past everyone else onto the ships. Ya get two at once a few times just throw a sap in there and you should be grand.

The Freebooters and Pirates I got mostly outside the main camp on the beach.

The Dockworkers come in two, there up on scaffolding in the main town usually two at a time, I just snuck up behind them sapped one, killed the other and killed that one, just be carefull you dont agro other mobs in the area, if your a rogue use crippling poison on all these as they are runners and that stops that, also do this&nbsp &nbsp quest at the same time as the pirate hat quest that ya get from Steemwheedle, otherwise you'll spend your bloody life in that cove.

If you are a Warrior, the Swashbucklers will piss you off. Especially in groups, as you will be disarmed at least 50% of the fight.

This is, hands down, the greatest quest in the whole game.

Go to the cave at 68,41 and you should find their encampment. When you first enter you will only find pirates, but go deeper in and you will find the other 3

All of the mobs are about level 42-44

Pirate - They can be found anywhere

Freeboter - They can be found anywhere also

Dock Worker - They are only found inside the camp and are always found in a group of 2 so you will need to fight 2 of them.

Swashbuckler - Their mostly found inside the houses, you willl also have to pull 2 at a time. Maybe more if your not careful when interring the houses

Do it with Pirate Hats Ahoy!

Andre Firebeard should be in the middle guarded by 3 dock workers

If you have Stoley's Shipment its at 72,46, inside the 2 story house. When you walk in make a left, its that house.

These guys are kinda hard for me, I'm a spirit priest and they can hit kinda hard, and they like to pull adds. So, I found myself popping out of Shadowform to heal myself. I think this would be a very good quest if you had a friend with you.

When you do this make sure to read the wanted sign in Gadget and get the pirate hat quest. All three are in this area.

This quest is probably one of the most anoying ones ive did as a melee class . The mobs are really tight together and spawn insanly fast .

Ended up fighting 4 at once at the docks with almost no health left when a mob spawned right next to me and started attacking instantly ... thanks alot .

Combine it with the hat quest and you can get some good xp in no time , just be prepared to pay the repair bill once or twice if your a melee class and walk a really long way from the graveyard to your corpse .

If you have to farm any of these mobs for more pirate hats, you should do so with the Freebooters. They drop Pirate's Footlockers that can contain map fragments that start the quest Cuergo's Gold .

Did this solo as a 45 hunter. No disarm issues here. There are pros and cons to every character. This is a good quest for a hunter. I just let my pet tank and never had to worry about disarm. BTW, this WAS a fun quest... (just have to worry about alliance). :) Peace

When i take this quest it immediately says "failed" in my quest log. I know this quest is not&nbsp timed so I'm confused why it says this. I abandoned the quest and tried taking a 2nd time but said "failed" again.

anyone know what I can do to take the quest?

Did it as a 45 ret pally. Great xp since it's a grinding quest, but watch out for chain aggro, i once had 5 guys on me at once...
I wouldn't advise running into the houses because you will aggro at least 3 mobs, i only just managed to kill all 3 with bubble + health pot. Make sure you have "WANTED: Andre Firebeard" and "Pirate Hats Ahoy!" for a very easy 8k xp.

I soloed this at lvl 42 with a shamman. The hats take a while but its pretty easy to get the 2 quests done. (takes a lot longer wile grouped to get the hats)

Combine this with the other new Quest (Pirate Hats) you will be done in no time. The mobs are grouped together making it nice and easy to get all 4 types in a short amount of time. Keep your eye out for the drop Pirate footlocker. It begins a quest at 40. All you have to do is when turning in the hats and shakedown is talk to one person in the port, then talk to another in the port. That's it done. Decent XP and just over a gold as well. On top of the XP for the other quest turn in's. Enjoy!
