Daggercap Divin’

Alliance • Howling Fjord • Level 71 • Daggercap Bay
Dive to Harold Lagras on the bay floor and collect 10 Valgarde Supply Crates from the shipwrecks.
Swim northeast from Valgarde. Look for a floating buoy on the surface. Harold wanders on the seafloor below it around (63, 59). He gives you a Diving Helm on accept. Equip it immediately or you'll keep surfacing for air. Crates are on the seabed, on ship decks, and floating at various depths around the wrecks. While you're down here, grab the Reagent Pouch for Into the World of Spirits from the ship deck at (62, 59). Sharks patrol the area. Harold is almost certainly stealing from the Alliance, but nobody's checking.
Vikstone's Classic Expedition
Harold Lagras said Keller sent him. Keller probably didn't know he existed. The diver kept saying "goodies, err, I mean supplies" and shooed Vikstone away the moment the crates were delivered. Some wars have con artists at the bottom of the ocean.

“Hey… Uh… What’s up? What are you doing down here?

Me? Oh… Well, you see… I’m… Um… I’m trying to clean this place up! Orders from Keller himself! He says to me, “Harry, I want you to put on a divin’ bell and search the shipwrecks of Daggercap for OUR stuff…

Say, maybe you could lend me a hand while you’re down here. Throughout the bay here are all kinds of goodies, err, I mean supplies. Go out and bring me back whatever you find. Use this diving helm so you don’t run out of air and die.”

Quest Giver: Harold Lagras at the bottom of Daggercap Bay

Objective: Recover 10 Valgarde Supply Crates from the shipwrecks.

 

Quick Facts

  • Type: Underwater collection quest
  • Faction: Alliance only
  • Location: Harold Lagras wanders near [63, 59] on the bay floor

 

Walkthrough

  1. Swim northeast from Valgarde into Daggercap Bay.
  2. Look for a floating buoy on the surface. Harold Lagras is connected to it via a breathing tube, walking around the seafloor below.
  3. Dive down and accept the quest. You’ll receive a Diving Helm that grants unlimited underwater breathing.
  4. Equip the Diving Helm immediately. Many players miss this and resurface repeatedly for air.
  5. Collect 10 Valgarde Supply Crates scattered around and on the wrecked ships nearby. Crates can be on the seabed, on ship decks, or floating at various depths.
  6. Return to Harold Lagras to turn in.

 

Tips

  • Combo Quest: While collecting crates, grab the Reagent Pouch for Into the World of Spirits. It spawns on the wrecked ship decks around [62, 59]. Complete both in one dive.
  • Druids: Aquatic Form can pick up items without shifting out, making collection extremely fast.
  • Gear Lock: The Diving Helm cannot be removed while you’re connected to Harold’s buoy. If you need to change equipment, swim out of range briefly.
  • Breath Bar Bug: Some report the breath bar appearing despite wearing the helm. If this happens, either ignore it (the helm still works) or surface briefly to reset the bar.
  • Underwater Combat: Sharks patrol the area. Melee abilities may not connect properly while swimming. Use instant attacks or ranged abilities if you need to fight.
  • Classes with Water Breathing: Warlocks, Shamans, and Undead don’t need the helm but should equip it anyway since you cannot open supply crates without it.

 

Story Context: A Dubious “Salvage Operation”

Harold’s dialogue makes it abundantly clear he’s not on any official mission:

“Hey… Uh… What’s up? What are you doing down here?”

“Me? Oh… Well, you see… I’m… Um… I’m trying to clean this place up! Orders from Keller himself!”

His nervous stammering and his repeated Freudian slips (“goodies, err, I mean supplies”) suggest he’s a treasure hunter pilfering from the shipwrecks. When you return with the crates, he hastily shoos you away:

“Yep, well, just give me those crates. I’ll need to document them and take inventory and some other stuff that you haven’t been trained to deal with or understand. Don’t worry; I’ll be sure to let Keller know what a great job you did down here! Yep. Yea, you can leave now. Skedaddle!”

The irony? You still earn Valiance Expedition reputation despite almost certainly helping a con artist steal from the Alliance’s own supplies. Vice Admiral Keller probably never gave any such order.

Warrior IconVikstone's War Journal

I found Harold Lagras at the bottom of Daggercap Bay, surrounded by salvage and wearing the expression of a man caught stealing pies.

“Hey… Uh… What’s up? What are you doing down here?” He recovered poorly. “Me? Oh… Well, you see… I’m… Um… I’m trying to clean this place up! Orders from Keller himself! He says to me, ‘Harry, I want you to put on a divin’ bell and search the shipwrecks of Daggercap for OUR stuff…'”

I said nothing.

“Say, maybe you could lend me a hand while you’re down here. Throughout the bay here are all kinds of goodies, err, I mean supplies.” He pressed a diving helm into my hands. “Use this so you don’t run out of air and die.”

The wrecks of Daggercap held plenty of crates. Vrykul harpoons had been thorough in their work. I collected ten and brought them back to Harry, who beamed.

“Wow! You sure are efficient. Yep, well, just give me those crates. I’ll need to document them and take inventory and some other stuff that you haven’t been trained to deal with or understand. Don’t worry; I’ll be sure to let Keller know what a great job you did down here!”

Keller didn’t send him. Keller probably didn’t know he existed. But the supplies would end up in Valgarde one way or another, and I had larger concerns than one opportunistic diver skimming from shipwrecks.

I left him to his “documentation.”

 

The bay floor was picked clean, and southeast along the coast the elements had started behaving in ways that broke the rules, which is why a shaman wanted somebody who would not ask whether he was Out of My Element?
