Runescape Part 1: Enter the Boat and Fire the Cannon

1)Talk with Bill Teach in Port Phasmatys to start the quest, and after a minute or two of talking, he will instruct you to meet him on the Adventurous. Walk onto the docks and go as far east as you can, and cross the gangplank.

2) Talk again to Bill Teach. Once the cut scene is over, open up the gun locker and take a fuse. Then open the repair locker and take a rope, then walk to the south end of the ship for a tinderbox. Once you’re done, climb up the ladder onto the main deck.

3) Your first task is to destroy the Enemy Cannon. Climb up the net (Near the broken cannon) and use a rope with the hoisted sail of the Pirates’ Ship to swing to the other side. Once you’re there, use the fuse with the barrel of powder that’s next to the cannon and use your tinderbox on to light the end of the fuse (if you have a lantern you can use this instead). Now, make your way back to your boat (if you don’t have a second rope you’ll need to take one from the deck). Just find a similar bit of netting on the enemies boat, climb the mast, attach the rope and swing back.

Runescape Part 2: Repairing the Leaks

4) Bill Teach will tell you to repair the leaks after that. To do this, climb down the ladder onto the lower floor of your ship and take: 3 planks, 3 swamp paste, a hammer, 2 ropes and some tacks. After that, use the planks and paste on the leaks to repair them, then go back and speak to Bill Teach.

Runescape Part 3: Sink the Ship!

5) Now you get to plunder the enemy ship. To do this, just swing back to the Pirates’ Ship (Same as the first time). But now go downstairs, find the chest and take 10 stacks (or more) of loot, then swing back to Bill and place the plunder in the chest on the lower decks of Bill’s ship. If you do not get 10 stacks on the first try, wait a minute or two and search again (or log out and back in to reset it).

6) Now Speak to Bill for the last time and he’ll ask you to repair the cannon. Go down to the gun cabinet and take a cannon barrel and use it with the broken cannon on deck, or click on “Repair” cannon. Tell the captain and he’ll describe how to fire the cannon.

To fire the cannon, go down to the gun cabinet and take a ramrod, fuse and canister. Go up onto the deck and take some powder from the power barrel next to the cannon. Use this powder with the cannon, then use the ramrod with the cannon. Next, use the container with the cannon and finally the ramrod one last time. Use the fuse on the cannon and then click on the cannon to fire it. If you don’t hit the crew on the enemy boat you will have to repeat this process until you do. If you fail you can do 5 damage to yourself and break the cannon - repair it the same way you did before. Note: after each firing of the cannon, make sure you use the ramrod to clean out the cannon to avoid having to repair it.

7) Once you’ve hit the crew of the other ship, speak to the captain and he’ll want you to sink the enemy boat (3 hits successfully done). But this time, you have to use a cannon ball instead of the canister. There is a chance of failing, but just repeat the process until you hit 3 times.

Once you’ve hit 3 times, you’ll get a cut scene where you are on the pirate island of Mos Le’Harmless. The quest ends and you’ll get your XP rewards and the “Little book O’ Piracy”

9) Talk to Bill Teach again to receive a 10,000gp reward.
