Click in the item and you will see a light blue glowing path. Follow it to 46.10 51.82 and open the cache.

Description

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}.

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 CrystalsNazjatar · Level 50
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.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Clearing Out the CacheNazjatar · Level 50
<While inspecting the crate, a commotion can be heard within the cavern. A familiar voice, shouting orders.>
