[71] Break the Blockade (Alliance)
From: Bombardier Petrov at Westguard Keep
Objective: Take Petrov's Cluster Bombs and drop them on enough pirates to kill or destroy 25 Blockade Pirates and 10 Blockade Cannons.
Reward: 20100 experience, 4g 70s, 125 reputation with Alliance Vanguard and 250 reputation with Valiance Expedition (7g 10s at level 80)

You will find Bonbardier Petrov standing on the 'docks' of Westguard Keep. Speaking to him will give you the quest and some cluster bombs. You are to hitch a ride on the zeppelin that Harrowmeiser has apparently 'loaned' to Petrov and bomb the pirate scoundrels residing on the decks of the ships at see. You can see the ships from the docks. The zeppelin takes a very long trip around the bay, pass multiple ships for you to bomb, so you should be able to get it done in one trip. If you group with other people on the boat, you will guarantee to complete it, so there's no reason not to group with them really. In fact, it can work against you not grouping with people, because if they throw their bombs before yours, they can take the kills leaving you with nothing but wasted explosions.

Breaking the cannons can be a bit of a sticking point if you're doing it solo. The best way to do it is to try to aim the center of the firing circle directly at the cannon. Doing so will hopefully destroy it in one shot. Aiming between the cannons to try and hit multiples does far far less damage and is a waste of time as you will more than likely not complete the objective on one pass.

The zeppelin stays docked for 2 minutes in between trips and you can tell how long is left by talking to the goblin, or waiting for his yell. There are no pre-requisites for this quest, and it's very easy to do, so if you are leveling in the area, be sure to do it each day. Easiest 20k experience. And be sure to take in the view once you are complete, beautiful view. And for something a little bit fun, on the very last ship, at the top of the mast, there is a pirate dancing.

[71] Steel Gate Patrol (Alliance)
From: Steel Gate Chief Archaeologist at Steel Gate
Objective: You're Steel Gate's ace pilot now, so the Steel Gate Chief Archaeologist wants you to keep patrol around the dig site and fight off anything that attacks. Report back to him when you're done with your patrol.
Reward: 20100 experience, 4g 70s, 2 x Super Healing Potion and 250 reputation with Explorers' League

Pre-requisites: In order to open up the daily, you need to prove yourself. First thing is to speak to Explorer Irena Stonemantle for the quest See to the Operations. You will find Irena on the raised platform a few feet away from Chief Archaeologist. Apparently you need to prove to Irena that you can walk a few feet and begin a conversation. The quest simply asks you to speak with a Steel Gate Chief Archaeologist at Steel Gate. I guess that's in case you weren't able to see him without her assistance.

After you hand that extremely difficult step in, Chief Archaeologist will give you your first task - I've Got a Flying Machine! The Steel Gate Chief Archaeologist wants you to transport 3 Sacks of Relics from the bottom of the site and take them to the platform on the north or south side of Steel Gate. This is a rather fun quest, if not a little difficult to actually fly the machine.

Using your right mouse key is the easiest way to maneuver the flying machine I found. Unfortunately it doesn't behave anything like a normal flying mount, rather it goes forward in the direction it is pointed and doesn't stop until it hits something (like the cliff wall, the tent or the platform in my case). If you think about how a normal (real life) plane flies, you will be ok. You can't go straight up like we're used to with our flying mounts by pressing the space bar - instead doing so will tilt the planes nose upward while still moving forward. You can't go backwards, instead you will have to turn around in place...

The sacks you are looking for are large cream bags. Since I was having such trouble flying the plane, I found it easier to just start spamming the grappling hook until I got something. Once you have picked up a sack, fly over one of the square platform with the hunters arrow over it on either side of the site. Once you have returned 3 sacks, fly over to Chief Archaeologist and hit the dismount option (red arrow).

Hand in and you are now able to collect the daily!! Back onto the flying machine, only this time you are equipped with a machine gun and rockets!! You're Steel Gate's ace pilot now, so the Steel Gate Chief Archaeologist wants you to keep patrol around the dig site and fight off anything that attacks. Around the dig site is lots of gargoyles - simply target and fire! The good news (for me) is that the machine guns will fire at your target no matter which way you are facing. I was pleased to see it could should right out my aah.... the back of the plane.

Once you're done killing, return the plane and hand in. Done! Come back tomorrow for more air time...

[71] The Way to His Heart... (Both)
From: Anuniaq at Kamagua.
Objective: Toss Tasty Reef Fish at a Reef Bull to lead it to a Reef Cow. Once you have helped the two to find true love, return to Anuniaq at Kamagua.
Reward: 20100 experience, 7g 10s and 500 reputation with The Kalu'ak

Pre-requisites: In order to be able to complete this daily, you need to do a quest from Scuttle Frostprow, who unfortunately, is quite hostile towards you. So first, you need to raise your Street "Cred".

For this quest you need to collect fish with Anuniaq's Net provided, found in schools off the coast of the Isle of Spears in the southern region where you cross over to the isle with the Scalawag Point on it. Simply swim close to one of the schools and right click your net to collect them. You can collect up to 5 fish from each school, so you will need to pick up 2 or 3 schools worth of fish. These schools are not trackable with the Find Fish ability. Apparently the Sharks also drop these tasty reef fish as well.

Now that you have the fish, you have to be able to get a Bull to the Cow. To do this stand 20 yards from the bull on the isle with the scalawag point on it - and throw the bull a fish. Once you do this he will run at you. Back up 20 more yards and throw another fish, each time you throw one he'll run to the pt you were standing at, so continue to back up until you are able to stand on the isle of the spears and on a rock w/ a cow on it. The two should have hearts over their heads and you should get quest credit.

It takes about 6-10 of these Tasty Reef Fish to finish the quest, so you may as well get them all before you do it. Also note that when you turn in the quest, any leftover Tasty Reef Fish will be automatically deleted from your inventory. Don't waste time trying to save up for the next day.
