Quest Text
Gum disease. It's a real problem, {race}. I know you're new and all, and probably haven't ever needed your gums cut, but the rest of us pirates have to deal with a little thing called SCURVY. It's why we keep so many limes around here. Well... we used to keep limes around here. Someone made off with our last shipment, but they can't have gone far - maybe to the nearby islands? Bring them back, and maybe I'll see what I can do to get you promoted from swabbie.
Plan the run before you travel
Check the quest area, faction, and level range before you travel. If this quest is part of a chain, finish nearby campaign quests in the same zone first.
Open the Wowhead page for coordinates, NPC spawn comments, cave entrances, and player-submitted route notes. WoW-God links out instead of copying community comments.
No group size is listed by Blizzard, so this is usually soloable unless the objective text says otherwise.
Pin the quest in-game, enable objective outlines, then use the exact-title references in the archive for NPC or object coordinates. Add a correction below if the live game differs from this record.
