TheWoWDBActivate the Residue Detector, and follow the blue mist clouds as they lead off to the SE. You will end up at Dragon's Teeth Basin (46.2, 51.5) at the mouth of a cave. At that point you will get credit for tracking down the cache of weapons, and the chest in front of you is the turn-in.

You need to use Residue Detector ( it's in your inventory) and follow the trail of Azerite residue.
You're basically following the hazy blue mist. I did it on my Chauferred Chopper so that I couldn't be dismounted: it's a faster ride than it is a walk. :-)

Description
I have fashioned a device that will emit bioluminescent light when toggled on, allowing you to see any Azerite residue that lingers. It should give you a clear trail to the weapons cache. Good luck, {name}.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Coveted Crystals
Locating the weapons cache should not be a problem once we have the proper tools. A little light and a lot of bioluminescent fluid is all that is needed. It all seems rather simple, does it not? But the key is in the Deepsea Crystal used to refract the light.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Clearing Out the Cache
<While inspecting the crate, a commotion can be heard within the cavern. A familiar voice, shouting orders.>
