TheWoWDBIf You find this quest while doing Missing Shipments, I suggest not taking the book, because after You complete Missing Shipments, [npc=92458] gives a breadcrumb quest The Search for Knowledge.

You found a water-logged tome near the bones of a massive creature. Written in an unfamiliar language, the book is adorned with runes and alchemical symbols. Perhaps another alchemist would be able to tell you more.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Missing Shipments
Now that we've gotten to know each other, perhaps you can lend me a hand. My weekly supply shipment was lost when my longtime courier--you know, old whatsername--was shot out of the sky over the shores of Azsuna. Surely a hardy sort like you could retrieve my lost goods.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Search for Knowledge
While you were out gallivanting, did you notice any lost relics around Azsuna? My sources tell me there are treasures to be found. These rumors merit investigation!
