I could not get the boat to work correctly - every time I summoned it, I would hop onto the boat and then fall through it into the water. Disabling all my addons allowed it to work correctly.

The boat is not a necessary component of the quest anyway; it is simply a quicker way to get to the shore.

You can destroy the cannons while mounted.

Comment by babeblu86

since no one seemed to mention just in case someone needs to know...the cannons are on shore up a hill NOT on the boats...i figured this out after running around for a few minutes trying to destroy the boat cannons. you can also destroy these cannons while mounted.

Yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaah!
we need some bad puns here

Dumb noob question, I know. HOW do you leave/exit the dam*&d boat once you get IN it? Currently, I'm on the boat, landlocked (stuck) and cannot Hearth, or anything else to try and get out of the boat!

at least u can find your boat. I did the put out the fire quest, left the boat - picked up the new quests and now i cant get on the boat again, well i see it and i can fly to it but everyone on the crew ignores me and i have no control. I do notice some sort of jet pack on my back but its not reflected in my gear or bag or quest objectives. any suggestions?

post note:the jet pack thing was to enable me to breathe underwater and i was able to complete all the quests without the boat (something easy to do if u can fly, wouldn't want to think how long it would take without it)

post note 2: just discovered a 'pirate hat' in my bag. u click on it to summon your boat. It may look different depending on the reward u picked from dousing the fires as the hat looks like the icon from the gear reward and its placed in the trinket section of my bags (add on bag sorter) not with the regualr quest items. the neat thing is ive done most of the quests here now and the 'boat' is still with me. The items says i can summon it anytime while in thousand needles so it looks like it may be a permanent item u get while questing which is a blessing for those at the proper lvl and no flying mount. Also just a tip - try to walk along the river floor when questing as u move much faster if your feet are touching the ground and not swimming.

Though it's tempting to work your way along the cliff to your right as soon as you arrive at the top, that's not the most efficient method if you're planning on doing all the quests here. The Tony Two-Tusk quest chain will have you going along the north edge of the Holdfast several times between trips back down to the water; so it's better to head straight to rescue Wizzle, then pick up the cannons as you clear your way to and from Ajamon.

How do you destroy the cannons? I haven't even got my boat back yet, but I thought there would be a tool of some sort to do it..Im a fire mage, what would you suggest?

Comment by RomanPaladin

The cannons are at the very top of the cliff face. The pirates are also there. If you follow the golden arrow on your mini-map, you should head to the left (toward the pirate ships) until you reach a landing, with planks covering gaps that lead to the top of the cliff. From there, I worked my way (as a hunter) along the cliff edge, shooting pirates and then taking out their cannons.

Your boat is not required for this quest, as is mentioned elsewhere in the comments here, but it does speed things along. When you are finished, if you have a mount, you should be able to take a running leap off the cliff and land safely in the water below without hitting any of the cliff on your way down. If you find the pirates to be tough to handle, this might save you from having to deal with them on your way down, as they tend to spawn rather quickly. Those looking to acquire a good amount of gold in a short amount of time might want to work toward one-shotting these pirates to farm them for coin. I have not tried that, but it just occurred to me it might work.

Comment by Hargir

Adding this note because it is not at all obvious:

You need to be in the water - then you right-click the pirate hat in your inventory to summon your boat. Saves you a lot of time getting to the shore.

Comment by dsiacono

Receive the quest from Jinky Twizzlefixxit & go to the docks & hop in the water. In your bag you'll see you have an item River Boat. Right-click on it to appear in the water so you can activate the item River Boat. It will not activate if you're out of the water. Ride in the boat onto the shore & it will disappear. As your 'toon, go up the makeshift board bridges to the top of the hill/cliff, destroy the Holdfast Canons. You'll come across a few Southsea Sailors & Southsea Parrot Handlers with their Savage Parrots. Annoyingly, when close to them, they throw a bottle at you. I once rode my mount past as many as I could & found my 'toon was getting drunk after each bottle was thrown at it.

NOTE: You can be on your mount to destroy the canons & it will NOT dismount you. Only the fights will.

If you're able to fly to the cliff, then by all means you can go there to destroy them & still complete the quest. The River Boat is for those who cannot fly or do not wish to swim.

Quiet the Cannons

Destroy 8 Holdfast Cannons.

	Holdfast Cannons destroyed (8)

Description

Now it's time to do something about those darn cannons up on the bluffs to the east!

If you'd be so kind, hop into your boat and cruise on over to the Southsea Holdfast. Up top you'll see a bunch of cannons firing down on us.

Those pirates don't know squat about engineering. It shouldn't be too difficult for you to clog 'em up and make them explode.
