Walkthrough[]

Setting sail[]

  • Travel to Port Phasmatys (Take a charter ship if you have no Ectophial).
  • Talk to Bill in the inn. (Chat 11)
  • Run to the dock, board the eastern-most ship.
  • Talk to Bill. (Chat 1)

Sabotage[]

  • Open the repair locker, take 4 ropes.
  • Open the gun locker, take 1 fuse.
  • Take the tinderbox spawn at the south end of the ship
  • Climb the ladder, then climb the net next to the mast.
  • Use rope on the sail.
  • Use the fuse on their powder barrel.
  • Light the fuse (this can fail).
  • Climb their mast and use a rope on the sail.
  • Talk to Bill.

Fixing the leaks[]

  • Descend the ladder.
  • Take from the repair locker:
    • 6 planks.
    • A hammer
    • 30 tacks.
    • 3 swamp paste.
  • Repair the leaky holes and waterproof them.
  • Talk to Bill.

Pirate plunder[]

  • Swing back over to the enemy ship.
  • Climb down their ladder.
  • Gather 10 plunder by:
    • Plunder their chest,
    • Ransack their barrel,
    • Loot their crate,
    • Hop worlds to collect more Plunder quickly.
  • Swing across with the plunder and deposit it in the chest on the lower deck.
  • Talk to Bill.

Cannon[]

  • Search the gun locker, take a cannon barrel.
  • Repair the broken cannon on the top deck.
  • Talk to Bill.
  • Search the gun locker, take a ramrod, a few fuses, and some cannon canisters.
  • Take some powder from the barrel next to the cannon.
    • Use gunpowder on the cannon.
    • Then the ramrod.
    • Then the canister.
    • Then a fuse.
    • Fire the cannon! (Make sure pirates line up with your cannon before firing)
    • Use the ramrod on the cannon again to clean it.
    • Talk to Bill

The sequence goes:

  1. Right Click-Empty out Cannon
  2. Ramrod to clean
  3. Add powder
  4. Ramrod the powder down
  5. Cannon Ball
  6. Fuse
  7. Fire
  • Repeat until 3 pirates die (OR until you run out of cannon canisters in your inventory, and when you try to take more it will say "you do not need a canister round right now" move on to the next step: Talk to Bill).
    • Note: It may be faster to intentionally run out of canisters.
  • Talk to Bill
  • Search the gun locker, take several cannon balls, fuses, gunpowders and cannon barrels.
  • Fire the cannon with cannonballs until you put three holes in the enemy's ship. This is done with the same sequence above except instead of a canister, a cannonball is used instead - you will likely have to fire it more than three times and possibly repair it multiple times.
  • Quest complete!

Note: Talk to Bill Teach in the pub afterwards to get your share of the loot, 10,000 gp.
