What to do

Take the Strangely Marked Box to Gwennyth Bly'Leggonde in Auberdine.

The quest giver's words

Another set of sea turtle remains lie beached on the coastline. This set of remains has an abandoned carriage half buckled to the turtle's shell. Perhaps this creature was driven to the shoreline by unknown beings rather than beaching itself as some of the other remains suggested. Powerful Greymist murlocs have made the carcass of this creature their current home.

In the carriage, you find a box with strange markings on it; perhaps Gwennyth Bly'Leggonde in Auberdine can make sense of it.

Progress

Hello again, <name>. The work you have done on behalf of the Temple of the Moon has been outstanding. Are we to be blessed with more of your effort on our behalf?

Completion

I have heard of the kinds of carriages found on the back of that turtle. Those I do believe are naga carriages, used both in battle and in transportation of their supplies on to land. The markings on the box you found are of the naga; perhaps the creature you discovered was killed as it was heading further south... to Ashenvale maybe?

I will be sure to send this box to Darnassus with the rest of your discoveries. This is for you - thank you again for your assistance.

What players recorded

Everything below this line is a different kind of knowledge from everything above it. Above: what the quest is, the same on every realm. Below: what actually happened when people played it, uploaded by them, with the number of runs printed against every figure. It is an observation, not a fact about the quest.

Nobody has completed this quest with telemetry on yet, so there is no timing. Everything below is drawn straight from the 0 recorded attempts the hub has.

How precise this guide is

Early guide Built from 0 runs by 0 players – low confidence. Every upload of this quest sharpens it: the hotspots tighten, the order and the timings settle, and the parts below unlock as the sample grows.

  • Where to go – pick-up, objectives and hand-in needs one recorded run not yet
  • Typical time and objective order – median and middle half needs 3 completed runs (now 0) not yet
  • Tips – what most players do needs 5 runs (now 0) not yet
  • Where players die – death hotspots on the map needs 5 characters from at least 2 different people (now 0 from 0) not yet

The route

An early route: drawn from the first runs and sharper with every upload. Pick-up, hand-in and the objective hotspots are where the quest is, so they are shown from the first run.

Map coordinates are the addon's own 0–1 zone coordinates (Darkshore), origin top-left, x to the right and y downward. Drag the zone map to pan, ctrl/⌘ + scroll or the buttons to zoom; the grid lines are tenths of the zone.
