TheWoWDBThe cave entrance (Basin Hideout) is found in Dragon's Teeth Basin. If you open the map, it's near the SE corner of that triangular peninsula just east of the Alliance base, Mezzamere. If you run by a number of Volatile Tide Surgers, you're heading in the right direction.

If you wind up with this quest and the one with Priscilla Ashvane that takes place in this cave at the same time, the chest might not show up. Once I turned the Ashvane quest in to Jaina, the chest appeared.
If you find yourself trying to run headlong into a waterfall, you're in the wrong cove.

Description
There are many treasures hidden throughout Nazjatar. Recently, I spotted an object glinting from within a cave not far from here. It appeared to be some sort of lockbox. I suggest we head back and investigate. There may be valuable items inside that will help us in our battle against the naga.

Item facts are the current retail client’s (ItemSparse); the specialisations for a pick-one item are the ones the Blizzard quest API lists; faction and currency text is the client’s own. Lowest listed price = the US commodity auction house now.
