Don't wander around the entire area, phased, for 20 minutes like I did looking for something you could mouse over, or waiting for a special interaction. You can only see them when you're unphased, back in the normal world.
Small crates and sparkles on ground. I swear this game is going to make me blind.
Not sure if this quest is bugged today 8/20/2025 but I cannot loot any boxes. I get "there is no loot" every time I click on the sparkling "loose sand" and "sealed coffers"

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.
