I've 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>.

Click in the item and you will see a light blue glowing path. Follow it to 46.10 51.82 and open the cache.
First, use the Residue Detector.
Then, follow the trail to the chest with the weapon.

Go straight to /way 46.1, 51.6.
Fortunately, no issues following the trail from a flying mount. Mine was at 46,52.

Locating the weapons cache shouldn't be a problem once we have the proper tools. A little light and a lot of bioluminescent fluid is all we need! It all seems rather simple, doesn't it? But the key is in the Deepsea Crystal used to refract the light.
