TheWoWDBThe Rewards section currently shows that this quest gives a choice of Tough Leather Boots, Tough Leather Bracers, Tough Cloak, Tough Leather Gloves, or Cartel Exchange Vessel. The four dilapidated armor pieces are, of course, an error. You get to pick 500 rep for one of the four covenants. This is a weird bug that has existed since at least 2020, first seen in the Immersion addon, and apparently polluted the Wowhead data.
If you see the four placeholder trash items, you'll actually get the associate rep and no trash item. The mapping is:
- Tough Leather Boots: Ascended Commendation
- Tough Leather Bracers: Undying Army Commendation
- Tough Cloak: Wild Hunt Commendation
- Tough Leather Gloves: Court of Harvesters Commendation

Don't hold onto these quests. They will be deleted from your quest log and you will receive no reward after weekly reset.
Careful when turning in the quest. Along with the other "A Valuable Find:" dungeon quest.
If you have the bugged version like me, when you go to turn it in the rewards are a bunch of Tough Leather grey items worth 50s ea. Which you don't actually even get in inventory. You also don't get the reputation that you were supposed to be able to pick from.

Description
Once in a rare while, we find ourselves in possession of an object of exceptionally cryptic origin. These objects allow us a brief glimpse into the realms beyond our comprehension. It may seem to you that I speak in riddles, yet so much of this realm is shrouded in mystery, even to us. There are others that have sought to unravel the history of this realm. Should you happen upon one of their works, I will offer you a trade of exceptional value.

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.
