Booty Bay quests: the Bloodsail chain, Kebok and every hub giver (Classic Era baseline)

Booty Bay is the neutral goblin port at the southern tip of Stranglethorn Vale. Almost every quest here is open to both factions, so Alliance and Horde players end up running the same errands for the Blackwater Raiders and the Steamwheedle goblins. This page covers the biggest story in town, the five-part Bloodsail Buccaneers chain. It also covers Kebok's three quests and has a table of every other Booty Bay giver, with levels and XP. All numbers are the Classic Era baseline. Forever changes have their own section.

Quick facts

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

The Bloodsail Buccaneers chain

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

First Mate Crazz of the Blackwater Raiders starts it. You scout a pirate camp, report back up the chain of command, raid the Bloodsail command post and then kill the three Bloodsail captains on their ships. All five parts are sharable, so a group can run them together.

Part 1: the cove north of town

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

Crazz says his crew are "too busy hitting the grog" and he needs a scout. Leave Booty Bay by the tunnel and head north up the coast. Puts the Bloodsail Correspondence at 27.3, 69.4. The top-rated comment describes it as a piece of paper on top of a barrel at a small pirate camp, with some Bloodsail pirates standing around it. Another commenter says the paper isn't in the rowboat but on the barrels beside the camp. You don't need to kill anything to click it, and one player says it is easier to swim in from the water.

Parts 2 and 3: the paper trail

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

The map shows Booty Bay with a red X and orders to "wait for the signal from the southern command post before attacking". Take it to Crazz, who sends you on to Fleet Master Seahorn. Seahorn stands at 27.2, 77, right next to Baron Revilgaz (27.2, 76.8). Part 3 is a short walk, worth 820 XP.

Part 4: raiding the southern command post

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

Seahorn wants you to "infiltrate the so-called southern command post the Bloodsail Buccaneers have established on the Wild Shore". Bloodsail Swashbucklers along that southern coast, is in clusters around 26.4–27.6, 82–84 and 30.6–33, 76–81, plus more further north around 23, 54. The Charts and Orders are the hard part. Commenters agree they spawn in one of three spots: the large camp (about 26–27, 82–83), the small camp or single tent (about 29–30, 80) and a small rowboat (about 27–28, 83). If one document is missing, check the other two spots or wait for a respawn. Players also suggest taking Deeg's Up to Snuff first, because it is collected from the same pirates.

Part 5: the three captains

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

This is the finish. Coordinates:

All three are on the Bloodsail ships anchored off the cape southeast of Booty Bay. One commenter says Keelhaul is on the western ship, Firallon on the middle one and Stillwater on the eastern ship, which stands apart. Another says you only need to go down one deck, as each captain is in the back room on the second floor. None of them are elite, but the decks are crowded and commenters warn that the captains try to run at low health. Seahorn's quest text tells you to bring "some of your most skilled comrades", and a duo or trio is a sensible way to do it. Two commenters say they found the riddle that starts Cortello's Riddle on one of these ships, so look around while you're there.

The reputation trap: Avast Ye, Admiral!

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

Every Booty Bay quest on this page takes Bloodsail Buccaneers reputation away. That's fine for nearly everyone. The exception is Avast Ye, Admiral!, a level 60 quest (requires 55) that ends at Fleet Master Firallon. Its objectives are to kill Fleet Master Seahorn and Baron Revilgaz, while being Friendly with the Bloodsail Buccaneers and Hated with Booty Bay. The reward is the Bloodsail Admiral's Hat (+25 Stamina, with a pet bird you can summon), plus 9,950 XP and 5g 97s. Completing it costs another 1,000 Booty Bay reputation.

Two warnings from player reports. First, you really do have to be Hated with Booty Bay: one commenter says a trick that gets you Friendly with both factions won't unlock the quest. Second, another notes that being hostile to the goblin factions blocks goblin quest givers such as Mux Manascrambler in Gadgetzan until you repair the reputation. If you just want to level, skip all of this and do the normal Blackwater chain above.

Kebok's quests

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

Kebok is a level 35 goblin in Booty Bay (27, 77.2), standing with Krazek and Crank Fizzlebub. All three of his quests are sharable, open to both factions, and start and end with him.

Each one also lowers Bloodsail reputation by 500.

The Goblin Fishing Pole isn't a fishing pole. It's a consumable that deals 128 to 172 Fire damage in a 5 yard radius, with a one minute cooldown, and stacks to 10. Kebok's lines are some of the funniest in town. The tusks are forged into fake tiger fangs for export, and he says "what the buyer doesn't know doesn't hurt them". Commenters on the tusk quest call the drop rate poor. They suggest combining it with other Skullsplitter quests so you only grind the trolls once, and they warn about patrols of three or four.

Every other Booty Bay quest giver

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

These are the quests each Booty Bay NPC starts, from their pages. "Both" means both factions.

Captain Hecklebury Smotts's The Captain's Chest and Sprogger's Facing Negolash are covered in our elite quests 30–60 guide. Cracking Maury's Foot is in there too. Stoley's Debt and Tran'rek send you to Tanaris and are in the Gadgetzan quests guide.

A sensible order

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

1. Arrive in the low 30s and take Drizzlik's Supply and Demand, Krazek's Investigate the Camp and Kebok's Bloodscalp Ears.
2. In the mid 30s, add Hostile Takeover and Singing Blue Shards. Both send you to the Venture Company near Lake Nazferiti, so do them in one trip.
3. At 37 or higher, pick up Crazz's Bloodsail chain and Deeg's Up to Snuff together. Parts 1 to 3 take a few minutes.
4. Do part 4 when you're about 41 to 43, and part 5 at 45 or with a group.
5. Take Skullsplitter Tusks at 37+ and grind it alongside any other Skullsplitter troll quests you have.

WoW Forever notes

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

• Level cap: Blizzard's 26 Oct development notes say players can now level up to a maximum of level 30. Every quest on this page needs level 26 or higher, so most of Booty Bay is above the current beta cap. This guide is ready for when the cap rises. whether quest levels or XP will change.

FAQ

Is the Bloodsail chain Alliance or Horde? Both. All five parts are listed as both-faction and sharable. [Unconfirmed]

Do I need a group for the Bloodsail captains? None of the three are elite, but they stand on crowded ships. Seahorn's own text suggests bringing friends, and a duo makes it much easier. [Unconfirmed]

Can I get the Bloodsail Admiral's Hat and keep Booty Bay? According to commenters, no. The quest needs you Hated with Booty Bay, and completing it costs another 1,000 reputation.

Where is Kebok? In Booty Bay at 27, 77.2, next to Krazek and Crank Fizzlebub.
