Walkthrough
- Trade Halshaob one File:Imp. Mtl. Piece icon.png Imperial Mythril Piece.
- You are only allowed to do this quest once every 24 hours.
- Head to the Cutter, located in the Arrapago Reef.
- To get there, first travel to Dvucca Isle Staging Point and exit into the Mire.
- Head East to (G-9) and zone into Arrapago Reef.
- Head North to (H-8) to find the Cutter.
- The Survival Guide in Caedarva Mire puts you on the north side of the zone, which is a short run to G-8.
- The battle has a 30 minute time limit.
- Make your way to the cabin of the ship. Along the way you will run into 2 Windjammer Imps.
- They are great for building TP for the NM fight ahead.
- Inside the cabin you will find 2 NM's: Cutthroat Kabsalah and his pet Bubbly.
- Cutthroat Kabsalah is a COR and has access to Wild Card.
- He will always use a Weapon Skill immediately after using Wild Card.
- Cutthroat Kabsalah double attacks almost every time.
- Bubbly is an Opo-opo and has access to all their regular TP moves.
- His Spinning Claw is a very powerful AoE move.
- Cutthroat Kabsalah is a COR and has access to Wild Card.
- At the end of the fight, you can get up to three treasure chests. The conditions for these to appear are as follows:
- 1): Defeat Cutthroat Kabsalah
- 2): Defeat Cutthroat Kabsalah after defeating Bubbly
- 3): Attack Cutthroat Kabsalah by surprising him. In order to do this, the following conditions must be met:
- The Windjammer Imps must be attacked, not aggroed
- Cutthroat Kabsalah must not hear any of the flute-based abilities of the Imps
- Cutthroat Kabsalah must be pulled (preferably by spells or ranged attacks) without alarming Bubbly
- If you successfully surprise the captain, he will say something indicating his surprise.
- The ideal strategy is to have someone kite Cutthroat Kabsalah while the rest of the party focuses on killing Bubbly.
- Once Bubbly is down, everyone can take out Cutthroat Kabsalah.
- After both NM's are defeated, treasure chests will spawn on the boat.
Notes:
- File:Barb. Zerehs icon.png Barbarossa's Zerehs can be found in either of the first two chests.
- The third chest contains ??? Gloves which sometimes appraise into File:Barb. Moufles icon.png Barbarossa's Moufles.
