For Alliance you must complete In the Outhouse and rescue Drag Master Miglen in order for Jinky Twizzlefixxit to give you this quest.

Edited to be more accurate.

OK. After completing the quest and exiting the fireboat, I can't find Jinky Twizzlefixxit to turn it it. The pirates are still firing at the barge. Is this a phased quest or am I missing something?

Comment by 468288

I also had to do 'Bar Fight'. After a couple minutes of searching for Mazzer, and thinking of opening a ticket, I finally found him on one of the floating 'docks' (not sure what to call them). It does seem to be phased, since the barge was under attack, on fire and surrounded by pirates after I accepted the quest.

For anyone having difficulties handing this quest in - it automatically turns itself in when you complete it.

This seems to present some difficulties with some addons - I'm not sure which ones specifically. I turned all of mine off, then restarted the game.

After the 15 fires were out, it went to the next part of the chain with no problem whatsoever.

Comment by Diwtay

Mazzer Stripscrew is at on the goblin side barge.

I didn't have to abandon the quest. I simply disabled my addons, reloaded my UI and the quest completion dialog/panel appeared. Clicked the button, the quest completed, re-enbled my addons, reloaded my UI and I was off and running. Saved me from doing a rather tedious quest again. I used "Addon Control Panel" to facilitate this. Happy questing!

Comment by spriint

Mazzer Stripscrew is located at 78;75 Once you put out the fires it should automatically let you turn it in. It will then give you the quest "Circle the Wagons...Er Boats" where your water sprayer is taken away and replaced with a fire bomb.....use the fire bomb to target the floating boats in the water once this quest is complete eject yourself from the vehicle and it will put you back on the main boat. Return to Jinky Twixxlefixxit who is on the top floor of the barge at 76:73

I did these quest ten time,buy stell can't push fire out?HELP!(##RESPBREAK##)2##DELIM##Sas148##DELIM##

I did this quest yesterday. It did work, but it took me a very long time, because most fires didn't go out when I threw water on them. I just kept circling around and throwing water, and eventually, I got it. I wish I'd recorded how long it took me, but I think it must have been at least half an hour.

Comment by 765072

I too was having the problem about not being able to control the boat and not change being able to change the view.
To solve this problem I went to the Interface and changed the camera following style settings to 'Never adjust Camera'.
This allowed me to change the viewing angle and keep it in place. Then just keep circling and firing until 15 fires are out - you need to be v. accurate or they won't go out btw.

The winner in the category Most Stupid Quest I ever did is ... (drum roll)

Comment by 274176

Just did this quest....I noticed the fires on the deck didn't go out when I sprayed them. However, aiming the water at the fires on the buildings worked almost every time. Hope this helps.

Comment by 616859

the camera stays fixed straight ahead,always. you will not be able to put out fires unless they are straight ahead of you. so as the boat drives in a circle around the barge, since blizzard gives you no way to turn the boat towards the barge, the fires will NEVER be in front of you. this quest is unable to be completed thanks to the asshats at blizzard.

Comment by tasman100

I completed this quest with no problems. However, fires counted as put out were only on buildings. Using the camera angles made the quest a little easier as you went around the barge shooting your water cannon. Once you get the hang of it it is actually pretty easy.

Comment by weendoo

If ur having problems finding that NPC for the boat (like i had), just type /target Mazzer Stripscrew. After u have targeted him, right click on the portrait - Raid target icon - mark skull. Hope it helps :)

Comment by 616859

I've finally figured out how to change my configuration so the camera will face the boat which is on fire. Go into Config Menu, select Interface, select Camera. In the drop-down box titled 'Camera following style', you must select 'Only When Moving'. I've always played the game using 'Always Adjust Camera' but I had to change temporarily for this quest.

Really, this temporary change to camera following style is something Blizzard should hardcode into this particular quest. I mean, do you think it is really their intention to make you change your game settings to complete a quest? It is either a bug or just poor design. I had given up on this quest for the longest time because I could not hold the camera with my mouse to face the burning ship AND put out fires at the same time. lol.

Hope this helps anyone with similar problem

Firing at the windows I found most effective - but this still is a hard and nasty quest.

Comment by StansDad

A really annoying quest; maddeningly difficult due to the fact that aiming water onto most of the fires does nothing!
Some people have found that aiming at the fires in the buildings is a more productive tactic, but I found that any fire near the edge of any structure can easily be extinguished by aiming the water jet not directly onto the fire, but directly onto the timbers along the outer edge of the structure where the fire is.
Once I discovered that it was a piece of cake!

n.b. riinuka's post lower down makes the same point with rather less superfluous verbosity and rather more clarity... Aim for the outside edges, that's the trick!

Comment by riinuka

Took about 10 minutes, after I realized something.

The fires along the ship's main deck, on the edge, are easiest. Just aim UNDER them at the side of the boat. Basically, the wide jutting piece of 'edge' that surrounds it, on that.

Comment by 833385

The platform/boat to start this is to the south east, off the starboard side of the main ship.

I had no real trouble putting out the fires; I reckon about 60% of the shots I aimed at worked. I tried to aim at the base of the fires.

Comment by SpectraKitty

this damn quest takes way to long.

Comment by lastbornnobody

There are 2 NPCs named Mazzer Stripscrew. If the one you are talking to doesn't offer you a boat you are talking to the wrong one. You want the one on the south end.

Comment by 1136508

terrible quest, avoid if possible

Comment by Dust

The quest is named "Pirate Accuracy Improving;" keyword: accuracy. It's obviously deliberate that you're unable to hit the side of a barn with that stupid water canon. Haha real funny Blizz. NOT. Some quest designers have a sense of humor that only they find amusing.

Comment by 1220569

I never could get the frost canon to work. Got on the boat, pressed 1 to target fire, continued to press 1....nothing.... I know I must be missing something really simple, but damned if I can figure it out. Any ideas? Very frustrating.

Comment by 1077931

Also if anyone talks to the guy for the boat and the boat doesn't appear, ensure you're not mounted.

Comment by Mondoblasto

In order to get this quest, you have to complete Bar Fight! first.

Comment by mpwalter

Have to join the chorus -- most boring and frustrating quest in quite some time! Half an hour before I could even see where the fires were, then another hour to get my first one put out. Thank goodness the next quest was super easy!

Comment by Skunkyy

Funny enough, if you decide to go to the bar first and talk to Daisy, she will say

<Name>, please stop those pirates before they destroy the Speedbarge!

to which you can reply with:

I'll take care of the pirates. But first, maybe some liquid courage.

which takes you to the normal vendor menu. Never noticed that until recently.

Pirate Accuracy Increasing

Get a River Boat from Mazzer Stripscrew and then use the Frost Cannon to extinguish 15 fires.

	Get a boat from Mazzer (1)
	Fires extinguished (15)

Description

I don't know if you've noticed, but the cannonballs are hitting us. I'd say the Southsea pirates are getting more accurate... the ship is on fire!

You've got a river boat now. Go talk to Mazzer Stripscrew.

Put those fires out!
