Hunted for 4 days to get this drop. 1st day was spent in Gunthak, next 3 on the ship Dirulia, still nothing. A friend suggested we try the ship Stormwave, we did and the 4th kill dropped the emblem. We wanted to ding so kept killing for a few more minutes & 3 more dropped. Anyone doing this quest I suggest you try the ship Stormwave.
Happy hunting :o)

Dropped off "a boat engineer" on long deck beside Dandolak boat. Took about 4 hours of play to get the drop, so it seems the Fort may be better (although this is a rare drop.) In Dulak Harbor, there is another "D" boat, the Dirulia, whose crew drops the Emblem. Don't bother with the other boats.
I suspect going back and forth between those two boats, killing everything in between, may be the fastest route to the emblem. Add in the /ooc suggestion elsewhere here and it should go fairly quickly. Hotkey that and hit it every 10 min or so.
Many of the mobs conned red to my 41 cleric ... bring at least two friends 55+, one of them a solid tank. Mobs can be Calmed (or whatever) and pulled one at a time, with only a couple of exceptions. If you are worried about being heavily attacked, stay camped at one of the "D" boats and keep clearing it and the long deck adjoining it until you get the drop.
Hotkey a message like: /ooc Looking for cleric-only no-trade quest item "Deepwater Emblem." Please holler if this appears as a drop so I can come loot it.
50's characters play in this zone for other reasons, and have no use for the Deepwater Emblem. If they know that you want it, there is a good chance you will hear about it.
Have invisibility via pot or otherwise in this zone when moving around, and to get to and from a drop by another group. You can camp on a boat without invis if you sit in the right places.
Killed all mobs on the way to lady D ship, nothing dropped it till the very last mob on the Lady D ship, he dropped it. a Dirulia crew member. coincidence, i'm pretty sure, that it was on Lady D ship.
Cleared Lady D boat 3 times. On the fourth time clearing the boat, I got the drop on the third kill. Camped my Cleric, looted and gated.
About 2 weeks ago I was helping a guildie with the same. We cleared LOTS of Oceancrasher and landlubber mobs. Then I pulled the Lady D mobs and we got the drop off a crewember or cannoneer.
Just found it after 10 minutes (lucky) of camping boat, the far south east one. Just east of Stormwave boat (forget the name right now).
I took my 53 warrior along, all of them were LB and DB. So he got some xp, and I 2boxxed my 43 cleric. Was quite simple. Only problem that was a little sketchy was the damn hike TO dulak. Those tunnels are a killer.
I have been helping a 43 Cleric in Dulak to get this item and after 3 days looking, nothing. Stupid question is, it says yo have to be lvl 45 to attain. Could this be why it has not dropped? We have fought on Stormwave and Dandolak boat aswell as other stuff. What are we doing wrong here?
No, 45 is the level you should be before attempting Dulaks, but I've seen people as low as 38 go there and effectively group at entrance, so *shrug*. If you hope to get n the boats tho, 45 is about the minimum, as any lower most stuff will be red to you. Also, the Dandolak's Run seems to drop these the most, in my experience.
... just dropped this item on the dock next to Stormwave, but NOT the dock that you used to get ONTO Stormwave. The "a boat scrubber" was an Ogre at the very end of the dock, out by the ocean, & was light blue to lvl 54.
I just got the emblem and the spell last night, and here is what I found on the deepwater emblem:
Try camping for this on the first boat Stormwave (or something like that) in Dulak's Harbor. Two of these dropped in a single clearing of the boat. I've camped the third boat with a group of guildmates and not a single one dropped in an hour and a half. Several other accounts state that the first boat drops more often, and this was true in my case.
Went there last night but Stormwave was camped. We went to hunt on the Dandolak to since it seemed to be the only one open. Cleric OOCed that she was looking for one, but we found 2 before anyone said anything. Dropped off both one of the Cannoners and one of the fishermen on the dock (had to kill when one of the crew men walked off ship and got close.) So we looted one and OOCed the other. All in all was easy for a 59 beast and 40 cleric, beast did all the fighting and cleric relied on regen and low heals to avoid aggro. Took us about 3-4 clearing to find one though. After that we were lucky to have a wizard friend show up to punt us back to our bind at the lighthouse (few moments later we were doing a run back to the ship to rezz the wizard...fired off his AE snare and they got too close.) All in all it took us near 5 hours to actually do it, most of the time was fighting to Dulak (was hoping to find that black powder from a mob on the way for my spell) plus waiting to get the spirit to spawn.
I was farming PILLAGERS for Gunthak water in the camp in Gunthak, and a Deepwater Emblem dropped. It is a rare drop and I can't remember which mob dropped it. But it DOES sometimes drop in GoG as well as Dulak.
Yes, it is a fairly common, definately not rare, drop from mobs around the stockade area in Gunthak. I hunted there quite a bit and destroyed 3 or 4 in just a few hours.
