I had all day Sunday to camp this guy for the Charm. I started at 10am and left the camp at 10pm. I knew exactly where he spawned but killed everything anyway. In the end, I was there for 28 cycles and the list of items dropped as I waited for this guy included...
Total Kills 252 (8/boat and 1 engineer X 28)
Platinum Pieces 758 (about 3 per kill)
Star Rubies 8
Sapphires 1
Diamonds 3
Blue Diamonds 3
Platinum Medallions 10
Gold Medallions 10
Silver Medallions 3
Stormwave Insignias 13
Deepwater Emblems 8
Missing Tombs 8
By the 252nd MOB and 28 cycle completed, knowing the Charm was rare, I figured there was only a cycle or two I could do before hitting a wall.
At the beginning of the 29th cycle, staring at his spawn point, expecting another Ogre pop (and my heart to sink AGAIN, he Popped!
I kill him easily enough and he drops only a missing tomb, and the charm. The charm is a rare drop off a rare MOB, so the time spent paid off!
So, if you come here for the charm, you could be in for a long haul, unless you get lucky.
Now off to get the Rust Encrusted Tunic off the Dandolek Boat, Captain Rockbelly...Ugh!

Finally got the charm 15 hours of camping him on the 21st kill. So at least I can confirm that he does still drop the charm. HATE this camp, worst i have ever done.
Started camping him at level 54, got to 55 and 98% when switched to AAs.
Ended with 8 1/2 AAs before this finally dropped.

Ack! The subject should read.
Have been camping the stormwave for 2 weeks. Well over 150 hours. Captain popped only 17 times. Almost definately a random spawn. No order of killing seemed to make any difference.
He won't spawn for 12 straight hours, then will spawn 3 times in a row with no variation in killing order or method. Also will definately spawn even when only PH killed.
17 kills...and STILL no charm drop. My suggestion is to camp the nearby boat scrubbers aswell. Vurag spawns more often and has dropped the haste tooth 3 times while waiting for the charm drop.

I camped Stormwave only once for about 4 hours, the captain popped twice, had the charm both times...was pretty lucky I guess. The captain pops on the bottom deck right accross from the gangplank you go up to get on the boat, he is the leftside mob spawn.
Don't give up, it's just a question of timing, I camped the Dando for over 15 hours, got the captain twice and he dropped the lame Barnacle Axe both times, the next time I went the boat was open, got on and the captain was already there, this time he dropped the leggings, hopefully next time it will be the BP...:)
By the way I did both ships two boxing a Pally and Druid, both lvl 56, very easy to do.

I was camping Stormwave only for exp, as I had already seen Captain twice and had gotten my crystal, and a pair of pink leggings. I wasn't keeping the boat clear, soemtimes the lower deck would be clear but not always. He popped twice for me within 2 hours, I was there for about 6 horus total. First time another crystal, which I gave away, and second time another pair of leggings.

Just something to think about:
I see peeps including myself. Camp any of these boats for hours upon hours and never get a Capt. to spawn. ok - now :
I see these boats go with out anyone camping them for a few cycles. Three or more and as soon as someone comes along....after some down time for the boat...behold a Capt. Spawns.....This includes myself.
On the Stormwave: 1st time going to camp the boat. It had been uncamped for sometime and within 2 cycles had a Capt Spawn. ok. Now since then I've spent 12+ hours camping the boat and never get the Capt. to spawn.
On the Lady Di: 1st time camping the boat and behold same thing happened. Except the Capt. Spawn Twice in a row. Dropped the mace 1st and then the ring. Since then I've spent 8+ hours and no Capt.. has spawned.
Don't really think there is anything to this however maybe there is, just maybe ??? Besides it is a little hard to just sit there on the boat and do nothing when there are all those pretty MOB's begging for you to kill them and have their gems if any.
Just a thought about the mystery of the spawn.

I have noticed the same thing. I've been hunting in Dulak with 3 different chars. Everu time I let the boat sit for awhile, either because I'm in guild chat trying to plan a raid, or just chatting, and let the boat spawn and just sit for a bit, I get a captain. Something to think about, definitely

Was camping drunken pirates last night and someone was camping this boat. Well, they left a spawn too early and guess who pop's up on tracking? Dropped the charm and some quest item. Word to the wise... If you're camping a named spawn, wait for PH to repop before you leave. So that you don't see posts like this of someone just walking up and seeing the named and get the results of your hours of killing PH waiting on him.

I am not sure what everyone else's experience has been, but today I had the Captain spawn on me twice in 2 hours... still no charm (of course - and if I see one more set of those leggings I will scream! heh) He spawned at 8:30am EST, then again at 9:45am EST - so maybe he's been randomized on his spawning instead of a timer. I am not sure, just lucky I guess - oh he did do something really cruel this last time, he dropped a peridot which of course looks like the charm, only is stackable - I wanted to cry! lol
Anyway, good luck and I hope it helps :)

Well, this was definitely one of the nastiest camps that I have ever been on to say the least. I did want add/supplement some of the comments that people have left. One of the biggest things that I look for when I look up a mob is where they spawn and what their spawn timer is.
The Captain or his PH spawns at: -1140, n6. Right on top of the catapult. I submitted a picture, so hopefully that will post in a day or so.
His spawn timer is different and shorter than the rest of the spawns on the boat. If you are like me, you typically spread the kills out a little bit. Well, I'm anal and like to give my mana pool some breathing room for whoopsies.
At any rate, his spawn timer seems to be 18 minutes, and 35 seconds. If you have things evenly spaced, by 2min he will cycle across all of your other spawns, since his is less than theirs. The rest of the spawns seem to be more towards 20 minutes.
Just like everyone else, I too saw so many pairs of legs I could have thrown up. Luckily, I brought my alt along (dual-boxin), and took him from 48 to 52 while camping this little boat. And, I can't really complain a whole lot, there was nice cash involved. I also parked my Alt on the dock to the West of Stormwave where there are 3 mobs (2 boat scrubbers [Ogre or Troll] and 1 boat engineer [Gnome]). I then placed myself grouped with my Alt and on the West side of the boat where it begins to angle up towards the bow, but out of aggro range of the mast mob and the west bow mob, and would assist cast/kill the things on the deck. The two boat scrubbers will sometimes spawn Vurag [Ogre], who will rarely drop the Worn Golden Tooth (Neck, AC5, STR2, STA2, Haste [21%]).
Good thing about this camp is it was easy to to even without KEI. I just had to keep having my cousin (Thanks Timmry!) come take away all of the pp and gp from my characters.
Anyway, have fun. It's definitely a nice little cash spot, and here I thought trying to get that charm would drive me crazy...almost did.
Best of Luck!

Captain Osaftars was blue to a lvl49 shaman, wasn't much harder to solo then the rest of the crew.
Dropped the staff, the one items I could care less about I get - just my luck.

Finally dropped it after 5 days on and off killing the lower deck solo.
9 Spawns over the 5 days
7 sets of legs (I took ALL my alts there and sat them on the ship , so they are all holding them now)
1 Staff , which my 36 enchanter is using.
And 1 charm for my very happy mage.
Day 1. 4 hours 1 pop - legs
Day 2. 3 Hours 3 pops - legs - legs - legs
Day 3. 8 Hours 1 pop - legs
Day 4. 4 Hours 3 pops - Legs - staff - legs
Day 5. 30 minutes 1 Pop - charm
Diamonds and blue diamonds all the way through , generally no less then 2 BD's and 3-8 Diamonds per camp depending on the time spent there.

I've camp the first three boats and gotten all the loot atleast once, usually seem to be 9 hour spawn time...
This bugger is really ticking me off! I have spent several 6 to 8 hour camps in last week with not even a single pop, and last night I spent 18 HOURS STRAIGHT!!!! This is a bunch of crap! I even petitioned, response was they had not heard of a problem! Send in the petitions boys and gals, let them know this is BS!
In my 18 hour camp I did make 4500 plat in coin/vendor gems, and 4 BD dropped that are in bazaar now. The last 5 hours I did not even clear the ship, just kept the 2 near Capt. spawn point cleared every 20 mins.
It is wayyy to random of a spawn. Even the friggin AC is only 12 hours.

Posted: Apr 27 2003 at 8:15 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) This guy is a real B@$t@rd. Camped the whole boat wiping everything out as soon as it spawned, and nothing. Best I got was a freakin' sapphire. If any verant employee's are reading this, understand this - camping for ten hours and getting squat = a not fun game.

I don't beleive it. I just spent another 10 hours camping this guy. I think he must be afraid of me or something. Verant needs to do something about this spawn time, and soon.

Well....spent two days hunting this fellow and have a few tidbits of info to share with you all who care for real-time facts and no opinions (which are frequently misleading). Heres an example of my experience...
We (54 necro, 54 Wizzy, 55 Druid and Myself- a 50 Chanter) one day decide that Dulak's Harbor wuld be a nice place for a little R&R. The facts are as follows...as HUMAN enchanter I was getting nearly one blue bit (1/5 blue) per kill off the ship's crew and engineers...all conned blue to us all. When the Captain popped, he conned Blue to all of us and as posted by the gent before me, really didnt pose much more of a threat. Grantdm he hits in the mid hundreds fairly quickly but has a comapritively low magic resistance (IE.: no need for tashani). First time he dropped the staff, and the following two times he dropped the leggings and trunk.
What I found interesting was that if I equipped my enchanter pet (the most usless pet IMO) with a pair of shiv's, buffed it with Shadow, Swift and Beserker, he could *almost* take the Captain and could easily take the crew. Add a few nukes and a few DoT's from your druid and he fell faster than a sailor for a dock-side harlot...hmm, how appropriate.
BTW, I noticed (and timed) a 6 hour spawn for Mon-Capitan (Spelling is bad, hehe) and keeping the decks cleared (swabbed?) didn't seem to help speed the process up at all.
Just a little first-hand experience for ya'll and note...I wouldnt suggest anyone under 50 to attempt this guy and his crew...it'd just not be to smart.especially my esteemen bretheren of the "enchanted kind"

Spawn time must be random, changed or linked to other activities. About 6 in zone and 3 boats camped. Killed all onboard. He (the captain)popped twice within an hour last night and dropped the truncheon, and second time arround the charm - plus 1 BD and 3 diamonds in 3 hours on Stormwave, this little necro thought she was in heaven.

Well a bit of an update since the recent string of emergency patches that have been plagueing us all lately. Since the recent patch, the great elusive captain has decided, we think, to change his habits. Now his spawns have become much more rare (only once in an 8-plus hour camp).
My brave company and myself have tried many tricks to get this lubber to show up for duty but to no avail. He doesnt *seem* to be connected to any of the dock-npc's, clearing of the decks, etc. Heck, I have even tried soloing (successfully I might add) just his place holder and a few of the immediate crew near his place holder position...all for naught.
Either the spawn has been messed up (with) by our wonderfull programmers (everyone ever remember camping an AC for 3 days straight untill they *fixed* it? hehe) of they have this gent on a purely random timer. Also, no more drops on the staff or charm but lots of pretty pink pants.

I camped him last night. It took three hours to get him to spawn the first time, then he spawned twice in a row (!). Dropped the charm both times, no legs.
By the way, it appears that there is a slight randomization to the timer of the spawns on the boat. I had set up a rotation, and a couple of times was surprised when one of the crew spawned early, so watch out for that.

I once camped the captain from 12:00 AM EST to 6:30 AM EST without seeing him. This was before the patch. His spawn time is VERY random and can be as short as 42 minutes as I have gotten the following spawn order twice in a row:(PH|CAP|PH|CAP|PH)
I started soloing this guy at 52. Clear the dock and fear kite the crew. Easy and very profitable. I bought many gear upgrade with the cash I made here, including a Zlandicar's Heart.

Here is what I've found from 20+ hours of camping the captain. The spawn time of the ship is every 21 minutes, this includes the two mobs on the dock. The captain/captain's PH is the MOB directly across from the gangplank that you use to get onto the ship. The captain is an Iksar with no notable resistances and not noticably more difficult than the crew. I have gotten all three of his known drops. One thing I noticed was that out of the 6 times that I've killed him, twice he re-poped 2 pops later. His loot is lore, so if you plan on camping him long term, have a trustworthy friend take the Staff or Legs when they drop. Otherwise you might end up letting loot rot or giving it away. The ship was good exp up until 54, now it's very slow. Gives me about 2 blue AA for every sweep of the ship, leveling exp is about 1/4 of that. Hope this helps...

If you kill his place holder consantly you'll get him to spawn every 3 to 4 hours. I have sat on the Stormwave for about 2 weeks now and have slaughtered him about 30-40 times. I have given up 4 Shimmering Emerald Crystals, looted 1 Barnacle Covered Truncheon, gave away another and have watched at least 30 pair of those Oxidized leggings decay with the corpse.

How hard is his ship? I was on windscorn for iksar meats and it was pretty hard, this one as hard?

This ship is very easy compared to Windscorn. All spawns are blue to light blue to a level 55. They double hit for just under 100hp and there are no casters on this boat.

Does this guy still drop the crystal? After 30 hours I have got 6 pairs of legs.

Been camping him as well the past few days. Around 20 hours total, 3 sightings and kills + 3 legs = a not happy mage.

This guys spawns on stormwave. First boat to the right of zone in from Gunthak. His place holder is the stormwave crew member directly across from the ships gangplank. Seems to be a rare spawn. I have only seen him 3 times in many days of camping that boat. In those 3 times he dropped 2 crystals and 1 set of leggings. He is very easy to kill with a 55 druid.
