Sorry to hear that hun - I was stuck on that quest for over a year too - but now in the final stages of neph quest chain so it can be done but do agree DE should think about giving that option to buy it out as with more defections to sadar I can only imagine getting wins in a Sea Battle will be even harder and personally have given up on them for the time being as have better things to spend my gold on which will give me a better return.

I completed that quest in one weekend of Grand Heroism. Yeah I was in a lot of losing sea battles but, I was also in at least three winning ones. You just have to have a little sticktoitivness. ">
