The Curse of the Tides

The Curse of the Tides is an Alliance-only quest in Stranglethorn Vale that concludes the Stone of the Tides quest chain. Though labeled as a group quest, this quest can be easily soloed by characters around level 40 (see "details" below for more info). In this quest, players are asked to use Catelyn's special knife (a troll artifact) to destroy an altar, causing a mage wielding the Stone of the Tides to appear.

Objectives
Destroy the Altar of the Tides with Catelyn's Blade, kill Gazban and bring the Stone of the Tides and Catelyn's Blade back to Baron Revilgaz.
 * Stone of the Tides
 * Catelyn's Blade (provided)

Description
So you're looking for an altar of some sort? Well, I'm no expert on troll ruins like my father, but I have heard about a sunken troll city out near that island you're looking for. Maybe you should try there.

You got my knife back for me, so I guess you can borrow it... but I want it back when you're done!

Rewards
You will gain:
 * 4350 XP
 * 350 reputation with Booty Bay
 * -350 reputation with Bloodsail Buccaneers

Progress
Have you retrieved the Stone of the Tides for me, ? I've already cleared out a space and purchased a fine stand for it.

Completion
Amazing! The Stone of Tides! It shall have a place of prominence in my collection of ancient troll artifacts. Did you see how it almost seems as though a tide is trapped within its surface? Magnificent!

Bug notice
As of July 31, 2008, a GM acknowledged that the quest was badly bugged and cannot be consistently completed at this time.
