    This task begins with Scurv-acious Bella Straw, who is located at approximately 135, 3050 on the island of Jardel's Hook in the Buried Sea.

    You say, 'Hail, Scurv-acious Bella Straw'

    Scurv-acious Bella Straw winks, 'Well, 'ello there! Yer a fine looking Wolf. It's nice to see someone of breeding here on this sandbar. All of these pirates are such uncultured pigs. Why, they have no manners at all! They call me by rude nicknames and insult my integrity! Why, if I had the power, I'd [teach them a lesson].

    You say, 'Teach them a lesson?'

    Scurv-acious Bella Straw says 'I sure would! I'd [kill a few] of those uncouth dogs. That would teach the rest to respect me and treat me like the delicate and virtuous flower that I am.'

    You say, 'I'll kill a few for you.'

    Scurv-acious Bella Straw says 'Why, that would be very heroic of you!'

    You have been assigned the task 'Just Desserts'.

    Bella has asked that you save her honor by dealing with those who have wronged her.



    Kill 8 Blacksail pirates 0/8 (The Buried Sea)

    These are found throughout the island.

    Speak with Bella Straw 0/1 (The Buried Sea)

    You say, 'Hail, Scurv-acious Bella Straw'

    Bella seemed pleased with your efforts, at least for a moment.

    You gain experience!!

    I was parsing my necro damage and found out

    75-80K HP a blacksail boatswain
    60-68K HP A Blacksail conscript
    69-79K hP A Blacksail mate
    69K HP A Blacksail pirate

    I tried very hard not to get hit but the damage I saw to me was
    boatswain: 1233, 652, 1039
    boatswain: 701, 1233, 555, 797
    boatswain: 1136, 1136
    mate: 282,
    pirate 680, 279,

    At level 74 it took about 13-15 casts for a kill, around 3 minutes or so.

    For my 1st 8 pirates, which is all I've done, they never resisted my snare on my 1st cast but later Snares and Root's got resisted many times but they never ran out before I was able to recast successfully.

    Pretty easy to pull any singles I saw. If no one was obviously close I could cast and not get any adds. Watch for roamers on the beach, both to pull and to keep away from if kiting. They roam from both directions. This was in the bay next to the Katta zone out.

    the pirates also dropped items for other quests I noticed:
    I. O. U. Note for That was the Deal
    Blacksail officers cutlass for Old Cutlasses for New



    Morrgue
    74 Necromancer



    edit: Phew mobs were tougher the next time I came over. The mates in particular almost ran me out of mana. Guess I know what my damage is now for a bar of mana, LOL

    78K A Blacksail ship master
    90K A Blacksail mate x2
    80K A Blacksail mate
    62K A Blacksail pirate



    edit:
    when pulling with my necro, the pirates will resist my snare on occasion, and the best solution is to send in an unbuffed pet to slow him down if he resisted so I can get a successful cast. The pet may or may not die, if you can back him off it works great, otherwise just cast a new pet after the fight.

    repeat it!

    Once you've done this task for your bone quest, keep repeating it. Quite a few tasks require killing these pirates and doesn't take long to get 8. Yielded 14% of an AA at 75 for each completion.

    Step #2:
    "Speak with Bella Straw (The Buried Sea)"

    You say, 'Hail, Scurv-acious Bella Straw'
    Bella seemed pleased with your efforts, at least for a moment

    Reward options: Choice of Jonas Dagmire's Thumb Metacarpal, one of the bones used in Jonas Dagmire's Skeletal Backhand or the 75pp (if you have done all the tasks on this island already).

    Killing a blacksail dockworker and a blacksail hound also counts when doing this quest btw.

    Just noticed I've written it mistakably.

    There are 10 reward options when maxed:
    a) 75pp
    b) Jonas Dagmire's Thumb Metacarpal
    c) one of the bones used in Jonas Dagmire's Skeletal Backhand, i.e. Capitate, Hamate, Lunate, Pisiform, Scaphoid, Trapezium, Trapezoid, Triquetrum

    Do you always receive the first two (a) and b) above) and must choose among the components of Jonas Dagmire's Skeletal Backhand, or do you only receive one option of the ten?

    As you complete the missions on Jardel's Hook - more options become available to you. Jardel's Hook is the only island that the missions start giving bones right away - all of the other islands require you to complete 2 of the 5 missions for that island before any hand parts start appearing in the options.

    Okay, there are quite a few pirate hand bone pieces out there. We have 9 that we've collected killing pirates based on solo tasks in this area. There is a container that the NPC sells for 10 doubloons. It requires (rumor part) 15+ or 25+ different parts (some known, others that haven't been found yet) to make the complete aug. The rumors swirl that it will have 90 hp/mana, ac, all stats, all resis etc. Sort of like the BiC of TBS. Please post any info that you may have for this. It doesn't appear that this quest has entirely come to light yet but we've gotten a good start. BTW, this quest is faction based. the higher your faction, the more options for rewards, including more finger bones. On FV server, these bones aren't No Drop, so you are able to trade with other group members to maximize the number that you have.

    Also, the rum, cutlasses and I.O.U's are rare drops and a total PITA to get to get more of these finger bones.

    i'll post more when we find it.
    Solo / duo at level 75

    Pirates seemed to be lvl 72-74. Could duo them comfortably Ranger/Shaman. Not exactly a pushover but didn't present any real issues. Look around, there are at least 4 of them that are standing single at various points if you look around some. Kill those 2x and you are done.

    There is some room to kite if you prefer or as mentioned can do the root / rot / plink thing too.
    Druid soloable quest.

    Mobs you need to kill do not summon and are NOT immune to run speed changes. Feel free to root/rot.
