What to do
Bring Yer Papers to Captain Keelhaul.
The quest giver's words
Ye may be a slayer of Fleet Masters, but rules is rules and orders is orders. And MY orders say that all new pirates start out as swabbies. It's the rule.
You're to be working for Captain Keelhaul, the commander of the Riptide. It's the westernmost ship in the fleet, which is parked south of the tip o' the cape.
Find him in his captain's chambers, and bring yer papers.
Progress
I trust y'got yer papers, swabbie. I'd hate t'send ye all the way back to Yancey.
Completion
Yes... yes... I see... well, everything appears to be in order.
Slayer of the great Seahorn, eh? That doesn't matter on MY ship. Only thing you're gonna be slaying is deck stains. Grab a mop.

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 (The Cape of Stranglethorn), 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.
