If your looking for the Barrel of Gunpowder.
Open your bags, an click the 50 cannonballs you picked up ;)
All this information is great and all for you pros to know but the average person questing and coming here for help has no idea what you are talking about so i will make it simple. the cannon balls are by some shells at 51,49. if you dont have coords then it will be somewhat difficult to find so you look for some open mouth clams approximately halfway up to the top of the water that you are swimming in. there will be some gilbin collectors in the area but the cannonballs are next to the clams. hope this helps as i needed it, that's why i came here only to find a bunch of information that didnt help me with the actual quest. this will. good luck

Description
So, I've been thinkin'... If someone's out-of-their-mind-guano-crazy, do they know it? Case in point, I coulda swore that I'd collected a barrel of gunpowder from the cannonballs around here, but it's nowhere ta be found. I distinctly remember lifting the cannonballs from them Gilblins just west of here. Maybe they're right... maybe I really have lost it.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Desperate Plea
The note in this bottle is soaked through, but still legible. In it, the author claims to have escaped from some sort of undersea naga prison. He is clearly in fear for his life, and you can't help but wonder if it might be one of your recently abducted shipmates.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Dah, Nunt... Dah, Nunt...
So, seein' as ya been so kind to me, I'm inclined to let you in on a special secret. I've found the biggest shiney of all, no more than 50 steps from where we're standin'! Only one thing stands between you, me, and great fortune - and his name is Gnaws. Don't fret now - I've got a plan.
