Soloed this (62..just for fun) and WTH the darned giant did not drop the cutlass! Is the quest broken?

There's another thread where folks have been discussing this quest and how it's currently unavailable.

Somebody will announce there once the quest gets fixed by Blizz.

anybody having problems doin this quest?

The boat is at 32,81 and Negolash is a level 52 elite giant. Failed miserably to solo this as a lvl 54 Rogue and lost the food - need to get it all again for another try :(

7100 XP @ lvl 51

colect the food and wine and put it in a small boat near the pirates boats P.

last time i checked, this quest was still broken, but they must have fixed it.

Facing Negolash

Negolash is a hungry giant.

When the giants destroyed our ship. Negolash went straight for my kitchen. He wasnt hungry for the crew like the other giants. Negolash wanted wine ... and my barbecued buzzard wings. They're my specialty, and I had to go all the way to the badlands to get the recipie!

If you want to lure the giant, then get some wine and a heap of buzzard wings. Put them in our old lifeboat, southeast of here along the coast. When Negolash smells all that food, he'll come for shure.
