Begin your quest in the Brannof Hall Dining Room, conveniently located off Brannof Boulevard near the Town Square. Speak with Cohen; he'll reveal the missing weapons and enlist your help. Crucially, talk to him again before leaving to receive two vital leads.

How to Complete The Lost Shipment Quest

This investigation branches into two paths. Before you start, remove any Town Guard gear to avoid suspicion.

Talk to Captain Shirker on The Vincible

Find Captain Shirker aboard his ship, The Vincible, docked southeast in town.

After a pleasant meal at The Delectable Dab (near the Town Square), he'll mention a man in a blue waistcoat.

Locate this individual in the Town Square.

He'll point you towards "The Illusion," a weapons dealer. To retrieve the weapons, you must impersonate someone named Sam—who, conveniently, has a monobrow. Visit the hairdresser on Old Street West (8 Silver and 280 Copper will get you the look).

Now, you're ready to tackle your second lead.

Ask Around at The Hooked Hand

Investigate The Hooked Hand restaurant near Eel Street. You may need to speak to several patrons before receiving your next clue: The Frequently Fresh Fish Stall.

The stall is past the Eel Street Bridge. The Fishmonger needs a Fetid Flounder (requires Level 25 Fishing Skill). Once caught, use a Quill, Ink, and Paper (found on Lord Brannof’s desk) to write a note and hide it inside the fish.

Give the fish to the Fishmonger, then hide and observe.

Follow the Stranger

Follow the Furtive Stranger to Monab Row via Willhope Crossing. Ensure your monobrow is visible (remove any Guard gear). Identify yourself as "Monobrow Sam" to gain entry. Defeat the Level 30 thief in combat to recover the Plumbatae. Return the weapons to Brannof Hall to complete the quest.
