What to do
Speak with Captain Ellis aboard the Sister Mercy.
The quest giver's words
If you listen real close you can hear cannon fire coming from the northeast. That's Captain Ellis 's ship, Sister Mercy. Thing is, Ellis and his entire crew were killed 'bout a month ago.
<Harry nods.>
Ghost ship...
If it's info you be wantin' 'bout the shield, Ellis is the man to ask.
Sister Mercy docks on the small island between here and Sorlof's Strand to pick up more souls for the ship's crew 'bout once every five minutes. There be no shortage of souls 'round these parts...
Completion
Arrr, me'n'me crew pilfered that thar shield! We be tryin' to get her back from that no good, landlubbin' scallywag, Sorlof! Ye come to help, arrr?
Well, as ye can see we be runnin' a skeleton crew!
< Captain Ellis laughs.>
Sister Mercy be needin' another powder monkey to man the big'uns o'er on the poop deck. Think ye be up to the job, me hearty?
Help me crew take Sorlof down and we'll split the booty! Ye can have the shield, me'n'me crew gets the rest!

What players recorded
Everything below this line is a different kind of knowledge from everything above it. Above: what the quest is, the same on every realm. Below: what actually happened when people played it, uploaded by them, with the number of runs printed against every figure. It is an observation, not a fact about the quest.
Nobody has completed this quest with telemetry on yet, so there is no timing. Everything below is drawn straight from the 0 recorded attempts the hub has.
How precise this guide is
Early guide Built from 0 runs by 0 players – low confidence. Every upload of this quest sharpens it: the hotspots tighten, the order and the timings settle, and the parts below unlock as the sample grows.
- Where to go – pick-up, objectives and hand-in needs one recorded run not yet
- Typical time and objective order – median and middle half needs 3 completed runs (now 0) not yet
- Tips – what most players do needs 5 runs (now 0) not yet
- Where players die – death hotspots on the map needs 5 characters from at least 2 different people (now 0 from 0) not yet

The route
An early route: drawn from the first runs and sharper with every upload. Pick-up, hand-in and the objective hotspots are where the quest is, so they are shown from the first run.
Map coordinates are the addon's own 0–1 zone coordinates (Howling Fjord), origin top-left, x to the right and y downward. Drag the zone map to pan, ctrl/⌘ + scroll or the buttons to zoom; the grid lines are tenths of the zone.
