The Karnitol Shipwreck is an Alliance-only quest for level 10-30 in Desolace. It is step 9 of 63 in the Desolace storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Stonetalon Mountains at 44.8, 82.4. It rewards 4 reward items, 1 reputation reward and 4,100 experience. Completing it counts toward 1 achievement.

Description

Intriguing.

Well, we might not be without hope quite yet.

Along that same coast, but to the north near Ranazjar Isle, there're night elf ruins at the bottom of the ocean. A tribe of naga, the Slitherblade, make that their home. I think that'd be our best bet.

If a scouting party went that far south, then they must've been pretty powerful. If you're gonna find Karnitol's belongings, I'd start with the more powerful naga: the tidehunters or sea witches.

This quest is a wee bit confusing because you might be thinking, like I did, that the satchel is at a location. It's not. Karnitol's Satchel is a random drop off off Slitherblade Sea Witches and Slitherblade Tidehunters. Don't bother grinding on other Slitherblade naga, only those two will yeild the satchel.

What I did was head out to Ranazjar Isle and kill Tidehunters and Sea Witches until the drop.
