Try to get some fresh air every now and then.

Meaning that if you grinded to friendly with the Bloodsail Buccaneers, you really need to get out of the house more often.

Edit: The Bloodsail grind is easier now than it was in 2008 when I wrote this.

Commento di Addfwyn

You don't need exalted with them, just friendly with them and hated with the gobs

Commento di Danarca

"just"?
Mate, you have to kill over 1,000 Booty Bay Bruisers. There is no "just".

Commento di 177789

Funny that they imply that the Bloodsail grind takes so long. It was actually one of the fastest pre-BC grinds I did. Much faster than the Argent Dawn or Timbermaw Hold, and much more fun, too.

Commento di 164918

Takes around 5 hours if you don't do any Booty Bay quests, not that hard compared to other rep grinds in the game.

Commento di 67465

This guy is right. Its actually pretty quick. I got friendly with Bloodsail in three days worth of grinding, putting about 3 hours in each day.

Commento di zalazour

Remember, you don't get ANY Achievement points from this one!!!

Commento di 107419

i dont get y this is a feat of strength, how is this going to be hard when wotlk comes out, it should be a rep achievement

Commento di 178051

For all we know, the faction may be removed just like the Wildhammer were.

We know that the Amani War Bear is out but it looks to me like the Raptor, Deathcharger and some others may be I think "Feats of Strength" may be a checklist of "scheduled removals".

Commento di 139814

If I remember right, Blizzard have said that you can get some of the Feats of Strength even in WotLK. I'll try to find source for this.

Source: WotLK: Player Achievements Preview

Feats of Strength
Feats of Strength represent the past glories of Azeroth, and as such, players will find them very difficult -- if not impossible -- to earn. They're worth no points, and unlike normal achievements, unearned Feats are not displayed in the achievements interface. Feats include old-world player-vs.-player ranks, obtaining rare mounts, special titles, and more. Feats of Strength will be awarded retroactively (that is, they'll be immediately granted to your character if you qualify) since many of them will be impossible to earn in Wrath of the Lich King.

Commento di DarkShinigami

It MIGHT be that Blizzard decided to revamp the Bloodsails, make them more like other factions (more quests, new rewards, etc), but decided to remove the older quests as well. I know there have been several petitions asking for Blizz to do something more with them, so maybe they decided to throw that in. Of cource, everything is speculation until Wrath comes out. Either way, I've been killing Booty Bay Bruisers like mad to get my rep up. You know, just in case they DO remove it ;)

Commento di lawlman

it's funny, because i'm a frost mage and i went to BB with a resto shaman for this...we both had all of the BB quests done and were fully hated with the bloodsail, yet it only took us about 4 hours total of gathering up groups of 15 or more and AOEing them down...idk what ppl are talking about, but it takes no time at all. Totally worth the effort for the set.

Commento di Ashek

Yeah... having done both the Bloodsail AND the Wintersaber grind...

Bloodsail is a walk in the park.

Commento di barak0

if you manage to get a good aoe group to kill BB guards it can be in hours but as a rogue and solo it took me a week to gain friendly with bloodsail and 2 weeks to get back.

Commento di Cuphat

Obtaining this achievement will finally grant us the title "Bloodsail Admiral"! Pirates, rejoice, for the battle has been won!

(For people currently on the PTR/Beta, it's going to be added into a future build. Just confirmed a little bit ago by Tigole on the beta forums - http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=10043246309&sid=2000#17)

Commento di HeatherPoe

Feat of Strength indeed, the guards in Booty bay are level 67 and they hit rather hard on clothies and do take a good beating before they die.
Do not keep them far from you or they will shoot it has pushback effect so there is no telling where you will land and how many more guards you will attract.
its easy over night grind nonetheless, but very mind numbing.
I am rather glad to see that my grind will pay off, grinded the hat for its unique looks and pet.

Hated with Steamwheedle Cartel means you wont get cooking above 225, engineering specializing will be a distant dream, fishing will get stuck at 150, cant land to Un'Goro Crater safely.
if those skills or minor annoyance things wont bother you the hat is worth it.
that is if you have no intenttion to grind the rep back.

Commento di 198017

If you really want to grind for this I'd recommend having a group of at least another dps and a resto druid. Grinded about 10k reputation in about an hour and a half.

Commento di 147712

My major concern with doing this was not being able to talk to Landro Longshott. I was afraid I would no longer be able to turn card game loot cards anymore but Landro is not part of the Cartel, therefore, remains friendly to you.

I do not know if you can swim in and talk to him from the water. You may have to fight your way to him, which at 70 would be a pain solo but 80 will not be an issue at all.

Commento di 177844

This took me 2 days of pretty much straight grinding as a L70 Fire Mage, in rather crappy gear. However, I died enough times to require 3 full repairs.

Generally, I've found I can take one bruiser easily, and can manage two and live, though it'll be close, but three bruisers will kill me. Keep a keen eye out for patrollers- if you get ambushed while fighting, it won't be pretty.

Also, whatever you do, do not go where they cannot reach you in melee. Their guns have serious knockback, and you will most likely die before you ever hit the ground.

A good guide to this can be found on Warcraftpets.com, under the heading "Bloodsail Parrot Booty."

Commento di 204419

concerning lanndro what i did (being someone deluded with the idea the grind was easy but failed and now i'm 100% hated with steamwheedle and hated with BSB) is stealth into booty bay then popped out right at landro and went bear form giving me enough time to enter the code and not die but for those of us who can't take a head (looking at you,clothies) i suggest bringing a group or atleast a meat sheild 2 gather up aggro and YES u can still talk 2 landro after all he is a member of the black flame NOT steamwheedle

Commento di 224011

While it can be done solo, it's better done in a group. Every Booty Bay Bruiser killed yields 25 rep in a 1-5 man group and 15 rep in a 6-10 man group. I'm guessing the rep gains would be 5 from 11+ men but didn't check.

My group:

1 prot pally
1 Resto Druid
1 Shadow priest
1 Mage (spec doesn't matter)
1 rogue (me)

Pally gets about 10-20 mobs (uses Blessing of Freedom if netted). Mage goes in and arcane explosions while kept up by the druid. Shadow priest keeps the mana up while I have fun with Blade Flurry (evasion tank if needed).

From 1/3 into hated to honored w/ Bloodsail Buccaneers (about 21k rep) in about 3 1/2 - 4 hours.

Keep the mage up! You'll thank them later :)

Commento di Xuxa

So, is this Feat of Strength attainable after WotLK, or not. I can't find any sort of list of which are attainable post Wrath, and which you have to have the second Wrath is released.

Commento di Grindalwald

Can a pirate answer me this, if i grind this achievement, can i still talk to the gnomish engineering trainer that renews your subscription for gnomish engineering? If not, ill wait to do it.

Commento di pik4chu

There is a repeatable quest in Feralas that raises rep with steamwheedle without lowering the bloodsail. So getting both to friendly, while greatly more time consuming. is definately possible to avoid this issue.

Commento di Rasztra

I did this in a group of 5 and it took about 2 hours.

Commento di 228607

Well I spent the better part of yesterday farming this.... And let me tell you.... it was long and tedious to say the least..... It took me and 4 other people about 8 hours at half hated with bloodsail at the beginning. But alas! I got my hat and suit ^_^ and it was def worth it! I think in total we killed 1084 Bruisers and every other npc we could get our hands on, Word of advice.... Make sure to have a class that can charge and stun the ones that shoot you. Or you will never get this done. Also when there are members of the opposite faction grinding rep as well.... its wise not to kill auctioneers as they will flag you and waste more time lol.

Commento di 149888

Obtain the Bloodsail Admiral's Hat... and try to get some fresh air every now and then.

This comment is quite silly, since farming the Timbermaw rep is way more time consuming, repetitive and plain boring. And it awards two rated achiements (15 + 25 points). Killing the bruisers in BB is actually quite entertaining, since they know how to defend themselves and their respawn is ultra-fast. On top of that, the reward for reaching friendly with the pirates is much better that the one for reaching exalted with the Timbermaw.

Getting exalted with Timbermaw Hold is what proves you need to get some fresh air, since it's pointless, while getting friendly with Bloodsail Buccaneers awards you with a cool costume and an extremely rare pet.

Commento di 111610

I'm still waiting to see someone running around named Bloodsail Admiral Akbar. ;)

Commento di Evard

For those that did this pre-bc (myself included ^.^) you know how much harder it was this ha ha. Most definitely longer than a few hours :)

Commento di 231343

Are there any other mobs besides the Booty Bay Bruisers that you can grind to lose rep with Booty Bay?

Commento di 153946

68 Protection Paladin just finished it, got from Hated to Friendly in about three and a half hours with one 66 friend of mine. Unlike the Wintersaber grind this rep is actually incredibly fun, good luck everyone.

Commento di 233349

Took me and 4 others about 4 hours today, but was worth it! ^_^
I just love my parrot and the Bloodsail Admiral infront of my name ofcourse =D

Commento di Jarrho

Very important! I don ' t care if you hate cooking, get your cooking up to 225 and do the quest in gadgetzan to get artisan cooking before you do this, especially if you intend to try the much more arduous task of trying to keep friendly with the Bloodsail as you grind your goblin reps back up. The fishing book can be bought on an alt or friend, but for cooking you must be at least neutral with gadgetzan.

Commento di Twotoe

so if i grind rep back up with booty bay do i lose the title?

Commento di Covette

Feats of Strength that are impossible to earn in WotLK:

Amani War Bear
Spirit of Competition
Clockwork Rocket Bot
Competitor's Tabard
Blue Brewfest Stein
Yellow Brewfest Stein
~~Collector's Edition: Netherwhelp~~

Just to name a few... I wouldn't be too quick to say they'll remove this one since it's been something players have been asking for for a LONG time now.

Commento di 95192

I started this grind with ~24000 / 36000 Hated. Took us a little under 2 hours and I ended up with honored (kept grinding for a little longer to help other people in the group):

Group
Boomkin Druid
Ret Pally
Survival Hunter
Elemental Shaman
Feral Druid

Also it was pretty fun. We greeted each new boat as it docked by ganking Alliance as they got off.
This doesn't even compare to the other pre-bc rep grinds.

I spent upwards of 6 weeks getting exalted grinding CC rep before the AQ gates opened.

Commento di Unii

They must have nerfed it since 3.0.2... only took myself (70 disc priest) and a 70 Rogue 2 hrs to do, from full hated with Bloodsail... Plus we did it during the Zombie Infestation event... hardest part was going back in to assassinate the leaders. =P

Commento di 234234_

Actually you can have both Bloodsail Buccaneers and Booty Bay friendly by killing Venture Co. mobs at Venture Bay, Grizzly hills. I got 5 rep for Booty Bay and didn't lose any Bloodsail Buccaneers rep and I'm not fully hated with them.

Commento di Support

Ah.. How fun this was. I did this yesterday on my Death Knight, and it took two hours. Yes, two hours. I had no quests done for any of the goblin factions, and when I started killing Booty Bay Bruisers, I was 36000/36000 hated with the Bloodsail Buccaneers. After about.. twenty or so kills, I noticed that my Bloodsail faction went from Hated, to 10/3000 Hostile. After I saw this, I grinded it out with another Death Knight, who also had this same thing happen.

~Bloodsail Admiral Mmhm

Commento di bsvictor

Finished this in a couple of hours, 3 man group (elemental shaman, feral druid and prot paladin)
One thing i would recommend is: if you wanna do it, do it while you're not 77+, that way the guards are still green and give 25+ rep with the buccaneers. If you're 77+, they will give only 5rep per kill, so it will take 5x longer.
I was 75 and the other guys were 78, and when i was friendly already they were still hated/ hostile.

Commento di fanficbug

Warning to all those thinking about doing this . . . as of right now (patch 3.0.3) the mobs are still lvl 67 and will only give 5 rep per kill, while still decreasing your Booty rep by 125. DO NOT LEVEL BEFORE DOING THIS GRIND! You will have to kill about 8k mobs, as opposed to 2k.

EDIT: Blizzard fixed this a while back. Happy hunting! :)

Commento di 254905

obtained by my blood dk 72 solo in 3 hours

Commento di 251542

yea.. way too easy, just completed this afternoon with a 75 prot warrior, and a 72 unholy DK. took us about 3 hours from hated to friendly.

Commento di 36346

Level 80 Prot Warrior and level 68 Affi Warlock...

Started off killing, getting 1 or 5 rep per kill depending on the mob... The Warlock hit hostile rep and suddenly recieved 25 rep. When I hit hostile, I still only recieved 5 rep or 1, depending on which mob we killed. Im guessing this is due to the fact I'm 80, reduced reputation gained from killing.

Just thought I would pass on the very unfortunate discovery.

Happy grinding.

Commento di calabacin

You can gain reputation with all the steemwheedle cartel not losing any rep with the pirates by doing this repeatable quest.

Commento di 263043

Guys, I have seen some guys runnig around with high rep at Bloodsails but never seen any exalted. The question is that is it even possible to become exa with the pirates? thx for the answers. =)

Commento di 219166

You Keep the achievement and title even if you do decide to grind back up Booty Bay rep.

And also. This is a Feat of Strength, not because it is unobtainable post-wotlk, but because they do not want to force players to become hated with the goblins trying to get all the achievements.

Commento di 219166

If you can't just overpower these guards and want to kill them one at a time, go by the ramp that leads from the water to the bottom platform of Booty Bay. There is a guard there that spawns immediatly after you kill the previous one. If you stay right by the ramp, you won't aggro any more after the initial aggro except that guard. This stradegy is good because you will not have to worry about aggroing more than you want.

Commento di robie69

Do you get xp for killing the guys throughout Booty Bay?

Commento di 40642

DO NOT wait with this until level 80 thinking it will be a sweet ride - at level 80 you will only receive a tiny 5 rep per Bruiser kill.

Commento di 268646

I heard that the requirements were you only had to have your reputation up to neutral with the Bloodsail Buccaneers. Is this true or do you need to be friendly?

Commento di 268646

Is there a certain amount of time for this quest or is it at your own pace?

Commento di Malchior

Me (a level 73 Prot Pally) and a friend (a level 74 Enchance shaman) did this title in about 3-5 hours. It's really easy to get now, even if the rep needed was increased.

Commento di 204807

After nearly 3 days, roughly 3-5 hours spent each day, I received the title. As a level 80 I only got 5 rep per kill, and started out at 32000/36000 hated with Bloodsail Buccaneers. So I had 13000 rep to grind...that is approx 2600 goblins to kill! It's a long grind, but well worth it!

Commento di 251067

If your'e leveling a new char and want this achivement, and want to start out early a good idea may be to kill the NPC's around Faldir's Cove. Some of the mobs (Including some mobs that gives xp and drop-loot) gives 5 rep with Bloodsails, some of the other mobs only give 1 rep. They are easy to kill, the respawn time is alittle big but notthing that concerns me.

Commento di 266742

Im 31327/36000 on my level 80 and yes the bruisers only give 5 rep now, so this grind isn't *VERY* easy at level 80..

(Ignoring the Hated because most peoples are different):

From Hostile>Unfriendly>Neutral>Friendly = 9000 rep

Thats 1800 kills for a level 80 to take them from Hostile to Friendly. Bear in mind raids lower the rep gained. Imo take an aoe group.

I myself have about 2800 kills to go lol.. what a joy.

Commento di toastmaster7727

Many players nowadays didn't play wow before any of the expansions came out thats why there is so many comments about how long it takes to complete this. A person joining wow right now might think that hitting exalted with Netherwing would take forever. The short explanation is people that ARE exalted with the Netherwing didn't have anything else better to do at the lvl 70 xap. The same goes for lvl 60 players before BC.

Commento di Zuluhn

My UD Priest is honored with Bloodsail Buccaneers.. REALLY Hard to get exalted.. U need to kill more the 7000 Booty Bay Bruisers.. When u get friendly with Bloodsail Buccaneers u get hated with all "Goblins" (Booty Bay, Ratchet, Everlook, Gadgetzan) So the whole Steamweedle Cartel hates you.. There is many of my flight paths thats gone now.. Just good that I still can fly to Area 54 :P

Commento di Brizzle

Anyone mind telling me how/when you start to gain rep with the Bloodsail guys, im hated with them and i have been killing bruiser's in ratchet and lose rep with them but dont gain any with the Bloodsail guys.

Do you only gain rep if you kill the bruisers in Booty Bay? the lvl 67 ones?

Or do you have to reach hated or something with Ratchet and all those other goblin places?

A side note.. I'm using a lvl 61 DK so the guys in Ratchet arent grey to me.

Commento di dakoth

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but a bit after TBC release they increased the level on booty bay guards from 57 to 67. Has there been any mention of them increasing the level to 77 in the future (and hence, speeding up this achievement for anyone already at 80)?

Commento di 259036

This is going to be fixed in 3.0.8. Level 80s will now gain full reputation from grey mobs.

Commento di airtonix

Except for the fact that the Goblin Guard mobs will be raising in level again to 77 I believe.

Still lvl65

Commento di airtonix

"just"?
Mate, you have to kill over 1,000 Booty Bay Bruisers. There is no "just".

If you are revered with bootybay, then i believe that its about 8,400 bruisers, killing each bruiser gives you 5 reputation points with Bloodsail Bucaneers. Each Named npc there gives 1 point and potentially calls forth one or more new Bruisers.

Bloosail Bucaneer Plan :

Hated (36,000 : 7,200 bruisers)
Bloodsail Bucaneers will attack you on sight
Hostile (3,000 : 600 bruisers)
Bloodsail Bucaneers will attack you on sight
Unfriendly(3,000, 600 bruisers)
At this point Bloodsail Bucaneers will not attack you on sight.
Neutral (3,000 : 600 bruisers)
Patch 1.11 added Dressing the Part for , , and .
Friendly (3,000 : 600 bruisers)
This is as far as you need to go as of patch 3.0.3

At friendly you can get the quests Neutral Avast Ye, Scallywag and Avast Ye, Admiral!.
The reward for completing the quest Avast Ye, Admiral! is the which can be both worn and used to summon a Blood Parrot pet. In Patch 3.0.2, this quest also rewards you with the title Bloodsail Admiral.
You will also be able to open any of their treasure chests without being attacked.

Friendly (6,000 : 1,200 bruisers)
5% Discount on purchases
Honored (12,000 : 2,400 bruisers)
10% Discount on purchases
Revered (21,000 : 4,200 bruisers)
15% Discount on purchases
Exalted (999 : 199.8 bruisers)
20% Discount on purchases

Since I started this slaughter when I was honoured with bootybay, the loss of honour plan with bootybay was :

Honored (12,000)
Additional Bruisers will not enter combat upon encountering you in combat with other bruisers.
Friendly (6,000)
Additional Bruisers will not enter combat upon encountering you in combat with other bruisers.
Neutral (3,000)
Additional Bruisers will not enter combat upon encountering you in combat with other bruisers.
Unfriendly(3,000)
I think at this point while fighting bruisers, any patrols or spawns would run into attack me
Hostile (3,000)
Entering buildings, attacking named npcs will spawn additional Bruisers(might also happen at Unfriendly too)
Hated (36,000)
Proximity based aggro rules apply, in addition to ; entering buildings & attacking named npcs will spawn additional Bruisers

I'm also pretty sure that reputation gained at each level is a ration of the amount you loose with either faction.
So at honoured with bootybay, with each bruiser killed I gained 25 bucaneer points and lost 125 bootybay points.
There was also some points lost with Gadgetzan, Steamwheedle Cartel, and I think also Everlook.
The amounts of bruiser that need to be killed at each stage obviously varies depending on your standing with both Bootybay and Bloodsail Bucaneers.
It is also worht mentioning that at lvl70 each bruiser yeilds 25rep with the bloodsail bucaneers, where-upon reaching lvl80 the amount rewarded per bruiser drops to 5

Commento di airtonix

..idk what ppl are talking about, but it takes no time at all. Totally worth the effort for the set.

Try it wihtout AOE as a holy priest. takes me about 2hrs to move 1% through the hated stage.

This is with constant pulling.

Commento di airtonix

Doing this solo, each bruiser rewards 5 points with the bloodsail bucaneers
Doing this with two people, there is no difference.

Haven't test with three, four or five people yet.

Commento di 234307

Done this with my level 75 Unholy Death Knight. It was pretty easy thaks to the fact that I didn't do any quest for Booty Bay before and that DKs basicly don't have any major downtimes (no mana, self-heal). It took me 4 x 45-50 minutes and an hour. Bruisers awarded 25 rep, vendors 1 rep and on attack summoned additional guards. Was a bit boring at the end but the award worths it!

Commento di Mageorama

Bloodsail rep stop at honored after when you hit revered(0/21000) you need to kill a single mob in blasted land who give 1 rep until you hit 20999...after that to get exalted you need to turn the quest you got when you was friendly or else its impossible to get exalted so you cant said
Revered (21,000 : 4,200 bruisers)
Exalted (999 : 199.8 bruisers)

Commento di 289630

For me and a 80 I did it with half rep. normal booty bay in a few hours

Commento di 300731

Twotoe - No you won't lose your title but at the moment it is not going to be a walk in the park to grind back up to neutral with Booty Bay (or the other Steamwheedle Cartel factions) because either you will have to pay enormous amounts of gold for the cloth turn-ins or you will have to grind rep off of the Bloodsail Bucaneers, slaughtering thousands of Bloodsail Bucaneers only will yield 1000 reputation and it would take (seemingly) forever. I recommend to wait it out until the next patch when Blizzard lifts the level limitations on reputation grinding so that even if a mob is grey it will give the normal amount of reputation as it would if you were to be the same level as it. I like this achievement and I like my title but it really still doesn't make me feel unique because there are hundreds more of people who have the same title in my server, I would say it really wasn't worth it as being hated with Steamwheedle Cartel literally blocks out A LOT of other achievements including the recent "Merrymaker" title because if your cooking is low leveled and you need to get it past like 225 or so you need to be atleast neutral with Gadgetzan, so I recommend thinking it over before actually doing it, this is to anyone who is thinking of doing this, I honestly wish I could take back my mindless hours of Bloodsail grinding but I think I'll eventually get my Steamwheedle Cartel reputation back up eventually :D

Commento di 242498

Easy way to do it. Go to booty bay with a group or raid, Click " At War" with Booty bay. Start farming guards, kill em till your friendly with Bloodsail Bucaneers. It's very easy if your level 80, did it in 2 and half hour as level 70 with 4 friends.

Commento di 304495

I actually have a question here. If you are friendly with bloodsail buccanneers for the title right, and you want to earn back your rep with Booty Bay and all goblin factions, and somehow you become Hostile again with Bloodsail Buccaneers, will you lose your title or not ?

Commento di 233336

Grinding the rep is not so hard, it's quite quick, BUT grind the goblin reputation back, can be more painful. And if you want to keep bloodsail rep up, then it's really a pain in the ass.

Commento di 77510

At level 72, as of today I'm getting 25 Bloodsail rep per guard.

Commento di 278854

Yep! you will put out just shy of 20 Million dps to do this.
Took me about 3 or so hours to solo as 80 Death Knight.
You have to go from hated to unfriendly to neutral to friendly.
All in all, you will need about 9000 rep and each BB guard will yield a scant 5 Bloodsail rep. I love the hat, parrot and title... totally worth it. It is also a feat of strength.

Have fun ya scurvy dogs...

Commento di Siphius

how can ya grind rep back up with them ya are freindly with bloodsail and hated bybooty so ya cant get quests from them..

:)

unless i am wrong if anyone has an answer for me on how to actually get back my exalted status with the bootys and stay freindly with the sailors essage me plz.

i could use the title

Commento di 187148

Only took me about 3 hours of grinding since rep decay was removed, also the guards are now lvl 77

Commento di SpoonPower

I am pretty sure that you had to get to honored with the bloodsail buccaneers pre-TBC in order to get the quest. I got my hat way before TBC and when I hit friendly, I went over to the place to get the quest, but I couldn't get it. Grinded my rep to honored made me able to get the quest though.

Commento di 253423

Lol did this about 2 weeks ago. 1 hour grinding with 1 shaman and paladin lvl 80 everybody. Im Unfriendly with BB atm because i grinded the Bloodsail. Easy to get.

Commento di 309550

A guildie and myself just grinded for this achievement yesterday, after 3.0.8. Killing the Booty Bay guards now gives 25 rep per kill at level 80, even when grouped, making this grind MUCH faster.

Commento di 298903

Just knocked this one out as a dk, took me less than two hours.

Commento di 281276

With the new patch, all mobs give their full rep. now. So each Bruiser is worth 25 rep. with Bloodsail again, even at 80. So this makes it a lot easier to do now.

Commento di 5177

Easy and fast grind for a lvl 80 paladin. My specc is holy and I did it the grind in about 1½-2h solo.

Commento di 141319

Grinded this last night, on the latest patch; so for that reason I'll add my thoughts.

25 rep per kill, all in all took me about 3 hours to go from Hated to Friendly.

Your results may vary, but being a tankadin I just aggroed as many as possible whilst trying to avoid getting 'shot' at, as the Bruisers could barely even hit me.

Not sure how tough it was before, but if you're bored and have a few hours to kill, definitely worth the fun!

Commento di 69575

Got htis yesterday as my level 62 restoration druid with 4 other level 80s who killed the guards. You can get the reputation while a spirit so this will help if you are too low a level. This took approximately 2 or 3 hours because there were 5 of us but one person was almost at minimum reputation with Bloodsail Buccaneers so one of the people managed to nearly get to revered with them.

80 human rogue working towards this achievement at the moment.

Currently 10k rep away from hostile, grinded for about an hour and a half, and was originally deep into hated. Not a bad grind at, considering the 25-28 rep a kill, until you become hostile with Booty Bay and the guards begin to double spawn and attack you before you get the jump on them. I'm thinking this would be much easier done in a group, but for now, we'll see how far I can get soloing. :)

EDIT: Also, I get hit for 400 - 550 each hit from the guards wearing leather. A clothy might find this extremely annoying to solo unless you have healing capabilities.

"just"?
Mate, you have to kill over 1,000 Booty Bay Bruisers. There is no "just".

Actually there is a "just" ^^. A friend(80 warlock) and I(80 Death Knight) we're bored today and got it in three hours and thirty seven minutes. That's counting the few times when we got swarmed and had to run back to our corpses, so really it was only "just" two and a half to three hours.

Commento di obievil

it actually only took me a little over 3 hours to do it with BB at neutral on my DK... however I'd be inclined to agree if you got Bloodsailor rep to friendly and then grinded BB rep on venture company to neutral so you could maintain both

Commento di lolzdeepeess

Hey me and a friend just did this in a hour and a half.
Were both raid geared and hes tank im dps.
We killed about a total of 1,500 guards and npc's.
I read how some people said its hard but this was easy!

"Collector's Edition: Netherwhelp"

This is incorrect. One can earn this achievement under WotLK by purchasing a World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Collector's Edition and going to the account upgrade page and entering the CE key even if you already have both a normal TBC key and WotLK installed.

Bought mine off eBay, worked perfectly. Got the pet and the achievement on all my characters even though I have been using a non-Collector's Edition key for over a year.

Commento di 329739

just did this on a level 75 boomkin with a holy palidan level 80 and a unholy dk level 80, took err.... 2 hours and 27 mins from 26k rep (hated) with bloodsail to friendly, so it wasnt to bad

Commento di Otacon

As a DK with the standard 2h unholy spec (17-0-54) I did this achievement in just a bit more then an hour. After that all i had to do was pick up the quest for the clothing and kill the fleetmasters for the hat, very easy and fun achievement to do :)

What I did was, kill some npc's in Booty Bay, this will summon more Bruisers for you to AoE. Had almost no moments where I was not fighting some bruisers :)

I do not believe that this title is worth being at war with Booty bay. It was funny doing quests for them and fishing there, so for me they are kinda mates.

Commento di 297751

i used like 2 hours farming as a prot paly

Commento di 21986

One of the easiest and more fun rep grinds but it's still a grind, particularly if you have done a bunch of booty bay quests and don't have a group of 5 people who are willing to wreck their goblin rep. I've done it in groups of 2 for about 6 hours or so and I am still hated by the pirates. I'd guess at least another 6 hours or so and I will be friendly.

Commento di 184400

Course the change to make grey mobs give max rep doesn't matter for this, because they upped the level of the BB guards<.<.

what bothers me is that this is a feat of strength. It is perhaps the most easily obtainable of TITLES, let alone a feat of Strength.

I was seriously not expecting to see it listed as a Feat of Strength, just made me go O.O

Commento di 165391

will you lose the title if you go back to BB rep?

Commento di 337989

It is also impossible to get the titles: Champion of the Naaru and Hand of Ad'al.

This is very easy when u have a group of 5 people including a healer and i got it done today in 2,5 hours so i say thats pretty easy

Commento di 341519

This is so much fun i got like 10 80s and slaughtered booty bay
it was fun killing all the NPC's also watching lowbies not turning
in their quests haha

Commento di 176844

I think that paragraph is mostly referring to the "First on Server" awards, more than the things now-removed (such as Naxx)

Regardless, I'm happy to see that those players are being rewarded acheivements, but that, since they are impossible, it doesn't count for achievement points for those of us who are trying to max.

I don't understand why Baron Rivendare's mount is a Feat of Strength, though... it's not like it's hard to solo Strat w/ L80, well, anything!

I haven't read all of this thread but a few things

Cake as a ret paladin or any other class that can self heal. I had one or two occasions where i needed to LoH but that was only because I wasn't paying attention. Keep using your instant FoL and you will be topped off the whole grind. Didn't need to drink once either.

One thing i'm not quite sure of. Noggenfogger elixer? I prob won't be able to get it anymore will I? Should of stocked up before hand.

One thing i would like to point out that gave me some trouble. Some (or possibly all) of the bruisers will shoot at ya with their little pellet gun. Be careful because it has a knockback effect. I was semi afk and next thing i know i was being shot across the bay. Try and stay close to them to avoid this.

Good luck with the grind :D

Commento di Chrisz

Did this today with a group of 4 took arond 1 and a half hour..Imo that isn't that much.
Just kill everything you can in Booty Bay =)
GL HF!

Commento di Nimodara

Getting this achievment is worth the cool title u get "Bloodsail Admiral" and is one of the Quicker less common title to get, i did it in 1 night solo at lev 75 in a total of about 5 hours and will always be cooler then a title like "Jenkins" so if u find some spare time on your hands and wana get a nice quick title this is something to have in mind.

The best spot to solo the guards in my option is this spot in the back. To get there from the Booty Bay entrence you go left and your gonna see a guard to houses with 1 npc in each house an npc outside the 2nd house and a guard right next to him. If u find urself with out guards to kill just attack a npc cause when u do they spawn a guard and if ur still low on guards u can just go back to the entrence and pull the 2 guards there.

Commento di 173034

I think it's worth mentioning that you will not be able to participate fully in the BootyBay Fishing Extravaganza after completing this achievement lest you grind rep back with the snotgoblins. So if you have fishing, are colecting titles and want 'Salty' either win the competition before this achievement or start farming Venture Co. mobs to get rep with the goblins and keep your pirate rep, which will lead you to getting part of the requirements for 'Insane in the Membrane' feat

Commento di unholynite

I have done this grind on my death knight at 65, raid group of 20 and got it in less then 2 days, not even straight, working on it with a single 80 pally tank, it is easily soloable till literally pop out of walls and shoot at you, im using my 76 feral/balance dual spec druid and before i got hostile with BB, it was going well, second i got hostile, walked up to help him out and boom, im dead in a few hits from a whole crowd of maybe.. 11 of them at a time?.. use a pally, best for this grind, #1 for sure.

Commento di unholynite

I got a Question, can you get bloodsail admiral title and pirate outfit along with achievement and kill bloodsails for rep with BB back, although i know you can just do Venture co, this may be faster, just asking cause i would want to keep rep and i get bored and raid x-roads sometimes, dont want to be knocked clear across the boat even while im 30 feet away >.<

Commento di Schnoodledorfer

FWIW, I tried to use the script from the top of this page to put the link for the achievement into chat and it disconnected me every time. I don't have the achievement, so it's not listed in the achievement's window at all. Maybe that's why.

From Eepi's comment above "... unlike normal achievements, unearned Feats are not displayed in the achievements interface."

Took me around 2 hours to do this by myself as a frost Death Knight.

You can hit the NPCs (non-guards) and they'll bring out more bruisers to aid them, I ran around the part where the bankers are and did Blood Boil to grab them all and ended up having around 12 bruisers attacking me at one time.

Commento di 313449

Yeah his was the easiest rep grind I've ever done. Soloable at level 80. (Except Horde kept attacking me to try and stop me from slaughtering goblins, but they didn't pose much of a challenge since whenever they attacked me, bruisers would attack them XD)

Commento di 412446

I had the luck of starting at 0/36k with them, and after looking for three days for a group (and having a mage join for ten minutes and then drop) I just decided to solo as a 80 SV hunter. I didn't bother pulling out a tenacity pet, so it probably took me a lot longer than it should have - around 10 hours in total, 7.5 for the first 36k and 2.5 for the last 9k. Not difficult at all, but terribly boring, as most grinds (Nether Ray, Cenarion Expedition, etc.) that I've done seem to be. But the title, hat and clothing is more than worth it. =]

Commento di 205761

Solo'd in about 2 hours @ 80 as an Unholy Death Knight. Funny that they hint it takes a long time. It didn't take nearly as long as Kurenai, but the title isn't nearly as neat as the Cobalt Riding Talbuk I got from Kurenai.

ARRrrrRR! Avast ye ^&*!@es, I am now a member of the Bloodsail!

Last night was ridiculously insane! Had a warlock, another mage, a Pally, and a DK. We wrecked all of booty bay last night right on the main docks where you get off the boat all the way to the INN, and then we worked our way up stairs and then jumped down onto the deck and went back to where the boat drops you off. I figure, at the rate those little @#$%^es were spawning... I went from hated to ALMOST reverend in about a 1 hour and 1/2.

Got all three quests done, and time to work on getting my rep back up.

Commento di 372144

I assume you can kill the goblins in Ratchet and Gadgetzan as well?

Commento di 428152

This achievement is not as difficult as it may seem. It only took my level 80 buddies and I two to three hours to do at most. It basically began with us fooling around in STV (wiping the enemy base, killing low-level enemy faction "newbies") when I told them as a joke that we should go get the Bloodsail achievement (I believed then that it would take forever and they would laugh it off). They ended up taking me seriously and we spent the next few hours grinding our pirate rep up to friendly.

Getting the pirate hat/parrot was awesome. And the Bloodsail pirate uniform was just another bonus. But my favorite was getting the title "Bloodsail Admiral", which to me is simply too awesome for words.

However, please be aware that achieving the title and obtaining these bonuses will get you to Hated or at the very least Hostile with all the Steamwheedle goblin factions. There are many consequences involved with dropping to this level of rep, examples including loss of access to all the neutral Auction Houses (AH), inability to purchase the highly popular "Noggenfogger Elixir", and have nearly all goblins across Azeroth attack you on sight. That said, just be sure to consider the consequences before doing this quest.

Indeed there are ways to reverse your reputation with the goblins, but these methods are all costly, or highly time-consuming. I, for one, was at 0/36000 Hated with Booty Bay by the end of the pirate rep grind, so I'm not planning on being able to speak to a goblin any time soon. Oh well, at least I have a good excuse if a level 30 ever begs me to help them in Stranglethorn.

Something to note is that a rogue's vanish seems to have no effect on the bruisers besides halting their attack for less than a second. They continue to attack you after the vanish animation, even with the "Improved Stealth" buff from Vanish. You can, however, easily stealth past them at level 80 while out of combat with 3/3 MoD.

It's been asked a few times, but everyone's failed to address it.
If you have the title and you grind your rep back up with the Cartel, do you lose the achievement?

Doing during pirates day right now and got enough people to get a party going, its a much faster way to gain rep this way.

Commento di 421626

Now although this may take a short time to complete, you'll be spending ALOT more time, trying to get back to neutral.
It's a pain to do, and not been able to go to the cities really has a straining affect on you.

I suggest you gather the mats before hand, then you know you're up to the challenge.
Don't be naive and just decide one day you want to do it.

I am lazy which is the reason I haven't got neutral, but I know they are other lazy people out there who will struggle to do so as well.

Good luck farming this achievement and getting back to neutral!

Commento di 293799

Just finished this last night and wanted to share my thoughts.

I don't think it was mentioned but... Rep, unlike exp, is not divided groups. Everyone in your group gets full rep for every kill. That said I really can't encourage you enough to do this with two or more people. I ran this (80 Rogue) with two friends (80 DK and 80 Shaman) and it took about 4 hours. Solo would have probably taken much more than 12. I think I was hated by Bloodsail roughly 26000/36000 when I started.

Bring food/bandages/mana/pots just in case. Trust me, you'll use them. Tanking as a Rogue I was never really in danger of dying with my pulls, but the fast respawns can catch you off guard. You're going to get beat on almost nonstep. What really helped was my engineering repair bot. You won't be able to repair in Booty once you're Unfriendly. Keep that in mind.

Plan a route. Fight inside as much as possible. LoS rules don't even really apply here as many times Bruisers we couldn't even see shot us repeatedly through walls. When this happens - save your friend. Get into melee range of the shooter to make him put his gun away. Disarm works wonders here.

Our route started in the NE corner of the first large building on the lower level (huge mob pulls here when hated), ran quickly into the next house, worked our way up the stairs, behind the top level building (so as not to get shot into the water), into the Inn, up and out, across and then dropped back down into the starting point. Each loop took about 20 minutes. I know there is a website that shows where to pull and such, but trust me, if you're in a group you're going to want to kill much faster than that.

Kill everying. Npc's, Horde, Flight Masters, anything you can to get more rep and spawn more Bruisers.

Lastly, is it worth it? Abso-freaking-lutely! As silly as this sounds I did all of this without realizing there was a title involved with the acheivement. The hours of pandamonium in Booty Bay, the confused look you can just feel on every passer by, the pirate life! If you've ever found yourself frustrated with WoW, it's ever changing/nerfing nonsense, this is an awesome change of pace. It's fun for the sake of being fun. Which is what a game should be at the end of the day.

Yargh!

Commento di 293799

One more thing. To really complete the pirate look I recommend getting a few things.

Trinket - Cannonball Runner (It summons a freaking cannon!)
Trinket - Piccolo of the Flaming Fire (Even pirates dance)
MH - Cruel Barb (Look at what the Fleet Master carries)
OH - Mug O' Hurt (Pirate's be thirsty!)

There are plenty of other items that look great, that's just what I went with. Defias Rapier is awesome, as are the shield's that look like ship wheels.

Commento di 501649

I may have missed it. But if you're Friendly or better already with BB, how can you attack the guards? The only solution i can think of right now is by attacking horde there. Which isnt the best method for fighting the guards on your terms.

Do you get to keep the cool hat and stuff if you grind your rep back to friendly with ratchet? I ask because I only want the hat and title, but I still wanna be able to go to Ratchet and BB and stuff without getting slowed down by guards.

This is actually one of the easiest rep farms to do. The only real tips i have for people doing this is to check to see if anyone in the area is doing quests in BB. It's kinda rude to go around killing the people other people need to turn the quest they just spent an hour farming(https://www.cuckhead.com/wotlk/quest=576)then having to wait for the quest giver to respawn. Also try and avoid the elite guards if you're doing this during fishing tournament.One last thing: on the final quest for this you ARE gonna be slowed down by at least 10 guards on your way to the target(Pretty much the only hard thing in the entire quest for my DK)PvP trinkets and undead and human and gnome racials may help there.Good luck on getting your hat and title!

Achievement is actually quite easy. If you're dedicated (And have no life) you can easily get it in a single day. Just head over to Booty Bay, since it seems to have the most density of Bruisers in one place, and just kill away. If you're a geared 80 it should take no more than 5 or 6 hours.

did it in an hour or hour and half tops, me in my unholy/frost/blood offspec half the time then other half full blood, a mage who was with us for 45 mins or so, and a blood dk, we even killed 12 allies including an 80 mage that i can 2 shot lol id say was good run

Commento di Renzodal

The friendly is really easy for players who havent leveled much in stv since they propably start whit low reputation to booty bay(Recruit a friend or just if u beeen doing instance since new lfg tool) and its doable as raid u can get many high lvls to aoe all the guards down it goes pretty fast :) + u can get this at 55 so if u got mates who are making raid just go and join :) tho you can also join at lower lvl and wait as ghost while they kill guards and when u ding 55 later then take quest and there u go nice title:)

I have a newb question... I am on chinese servers and we are stuck at level 70. I want to grind this rep... and the mobs are now 77 here also... so I am guessing I would need at least a group of 5 to help me grind up.. or would I need more since mobs are red to me at level 70~ Thanks in Advance

HoiSin~

Commento di Chewb

If your going to get this title, I would suggest taking a group of heavy AoE classes. I did it with 80 ret, 80 boomkin and 74 destro lock (me). I took no longer than 1 hour and 30 minutes. LoL. Starfall + Divine Storm + Concencration + Hurricane + Shadowfury + Rain Of Fire = AoEGG

The easiest way to do this is buy going to Booty Bay, grind the guards, untill they attack on site, then have a group member run all around the inn, gathering as much as possible. while this is going on the rest of your group waits outside of the inn. when the person that went inside get all of them, they should jump off the inn and run to the group. when the mobs come, blow all AoE CD's, i.e. StarFall, Divine Storm, Shadowfury, flamestrike, ect, ect ,ect...

Another helpful hint. DO NOT FARM THE GUARDS BY THE BOAT DECK! AS THEY HAVE GUNS THAT CAUSE YOU TO GET KNOCKED BACK OFF THE DECK INTO WATER, they also follow you and keep pushing you farther into the water.

Good luck, hope you have fun with the grind.
