I need to go to thanatos and since no captain seems to be willing to take me there i figured this was time for me to purchase a ship in blackroot, but when i address the npc about a boat all i get is the dialog option to depart...the same thing happens with some other character such as trainers or even possible followers but this is whats bugging me the most...any clues on what i should do or on what i need?
Talk to the captain that took you to the isle of despair, he is now at the tavern in blackroot. you will get some different options from him as to how to aquire a boat.
If the shipbuilder won't sell you the boat and you can't win Teach's back, get him or the Salty Seadrick (spelling?/name?-he's a guy in the same bar) to tell you about String Pete and where he's at. He will give you three quests to do and you get his boat for free! With the shipbuilder problem, it may be that you need to have enough money to buy the boat-50,000. If you got that much, he should be willing to sell the boat. If not you're stuck with the Stringy Pete line.
