Walkthrough

Setting sail

• Travel to Port Phasmatys (take a charter ship if you don't have Ectophial).
• Talk to Bill Teach in the inn. ( 1•1)…

  1	Yes, I've always wanted to be a pirate!
  1	Yes, I am a man of my word.

• Run to the dock, board the eastern-most ship.
• Talk to Bill Teach. ( 1)…

  1	Let's go Cap'n!

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 use the climbing net connected 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 Teach.

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 Teach.

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 Teach.

Cannon

• Search the gun locker, take a cannon barrel.
• Repair the broken cannon on the top deck.
• Talk to Bill Teach.
• 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.
• 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 Teach).
  • Note: it may be faster to intentionally run out of canisters.
• Talk to Bill Teach.
• 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.

The sequence goes:

• Right-click Empty-Out Cannon
• Ramrod to clean
• Add powder
• Ramrod the powder down
• Cannonball
• Ramrod the cannonball down
• Fuse
• Fire

Quest complete!

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