Lashed to the Hull

Despite claims by both Wild and Jocy that they have no interest in ships or ship building, every day one finds them hanging around their shipyards. Inevitably, they are also being drawn into the fracas in the Tanaan Jungle.

Wild has completed the necessary steps to get his shipyard operational and has already maxed out on the initial number of ships he can have. Ship battles are more perilous than the missions Wild's followers do. On missions, followers don't get killed if they fail a mission. In ship battles, ships can be sunk and destroyed. Wild is working on getting the achievement for completing 15 ship missions, and has gotten 12 done so far. But he's run into a problem. Doing missions with followers requires the expenditure of resources, which Wild always has an abundance of. Playing ship captain requires the expenditure of oil, and that resource is in very short supply. In fact, Wild can't send any of his ships out right now because they lack enough oil. Unlike mission resources, which automatically replenishes itself over time, oil does not. Wild is looking into other ways of acquiring oil, which requires spending a lot more time in the Tanaan Jungle than he anticipated. Wild has made it to the Vol'Mar base in Tanaan and has done several of the quests there. Frankly, its a tougher challenge than Wild expected, and his bull headed stubbornness keeps him hacking away in the jungle.

Jocy, on the other hand, is stymied by bad programming. She's also completed the necessary steps to get her shipyard operational and participated in the invasion that brought her to Tanaan. But there things unraveled. Part one involved the Iron Docks, which is NOT in Tanaan, but is part of the assault that leads to getting to Tanaan. Jocy has done all of the same quests there that Wild did, and there are no quests left for her to do there. She also got as far as picking up the Obstacle Course quest in Tanaan. While on that quest, however, Jocy needed to hearth back to the garrison. When she tried to return to Tanaan, she found out that she couldn't.

What happened? Well, here is how Wild gets to Tanaan. From his garrison, Wild goes up into his tower and takes a portal directly to Ashran. In Ashran, there is another portal that ports players to the Vol'Mar base in Tanaan. Jocy can port to Ashran just fine, but when Jocy goes there the Vol'Mar portal is missing. The spot where Wild takes the portal doesn't exist for Jocy. She's crawled all over that island, has found portals to Orgrimmar and Thunder Bluff, but no portal to Vol'Mar. She can't get back to Tanaan.

There are rumors of a way to sneak into Tanaan without the portal. That might even be an interesting adventure. She's considering that option, but has also prayed to the gods of WoW to FIX THE DANGED PROBLEM! By way of a trouble ticket.
