Misdirection is a Horde-only quest for level 50 in Nazjatar, added in Battle for Azeroth. It rewards money.
We came in friendship and those pesky murlocs jumped us and stole my treasure.
They threw it in one of those big clams and ran off into the village.
They keep moving them around and I have no idea where it is now!
Can you please help?

This quest is a little frustrating at first. Just look for the murloc carrying the clam shell around. Don't aggro it. Just follow it. It will run to a clickable clam shell. The treasure should be there.
There are multiple murlocs carrying clam shells around. None of the 3 I followed led me to the clam shell needed. I did find the one I needed at 26.34 33.27
You can do the patient way and wait for the murloc(s) carrying the shell, follow them, and find the treasure or you could go around and kill everything within 1-2min and open all shells at random. Most of the time its faster and easier to open all shells rather than wait and be "careful" not to aggro the annoying little murlocs.
