Just a note to hunters: the drysnap crawlers/pincers are found near the sunken boat, and they are classified as humanoids, not beasts. So if you're trying to use your tracking to find em, use track humanoid and you'll see em :)

As of 2.3 the chest will now show as a yellow question mark on your minimap.

Silver key 34:30&nbsp &nbsp
Gold key 32:22
Chets 29:9

Silver key dropped off Drysnap Pincer near the sunken ship.
Golden key dropped off any of the Slitherblades.

and https://classicdb.ch/?quest=1456

Remember that these keys are in your keyring not bag :-)

I did the following quests along with this one:

• Clam Bait
• Other Fish to Fry
• The Corruptor

[li][/li]
Silver key from Drysnap Pincer.
Gold key from Slitherblade Myrmidon.

I collected the clam meat near the end, but collected a few pieces while killing stuff for the Other Fish to Fry quest.

Got out of the water just in time because I almost ran into the lvl 40 elite Deepstrider Searcher.

chest is at 30,9 on an island - it's tucked away on the side of the temple

Also good to do is the short Argent Dawn chain which ends at the island the chest is on with this

Easy to complete as your there anyway.

I am Ulysses Rackmore, captain of the Gallant. And this is the log of the last few days of my doomed ship.

We were sailing to Feathermoon Stronghold with a shipment of supplies when naga stormed the sides of the Gallant. We drove them back but we knew they'd return. Fearing the loss of my most precious belongings, I steered the Gallant to an island off the coast of Desolace, one with old, night elf ruins. And there I left my treasure chest.

My chest is one of ingenious design, and requires two keys to unlock, one gold and one silver. The first key, the silver key, I gave to my first mate, and I kept the gold.

But we were doomed to lose them. my key was lost during the next naga attack, and my first mate's was lost a day later when drysnap makrura assailed us and pulled him into the deep.

I am sure the naga and makrura have the keys. I am glad the two are enemies and will not share them.

After the makrura attack, we could see that the Gallant would not survive another. So I and the few surviving sailors abandoned my ship.

We are now ashore and will soon strike out for the town of Nigel's Point, but much danger lies between us and sanctuary, and I fear Desolace will consume us.

I write this now in hopes that someone will know our plight, and some day avenge us against the watery fiends who were our ruin.

Now, the drysnap makruras are just in the water by the log (out by the shipwreck...you don't need any water breathing devices...they even have a bubbly fissure for air)...I killed maybe 3 of them before the key dropped. Same with the nagas. They're on the way to and full on the island...I killed 2 and got the other key. The chest is at 30, 9 at the base of a tree. Be careful of the lvl 40 elite giant that roams the island from time to time, but this quest is beyond easy. Solo-able as long as you're within the level, or have bandages/pots.

As of 2.3 this quest yeilds 3500exp.

that second screenshot is entirely helpful as to the treasure's actual location.

This is a pretty simple quest. You can kill the makrura SW of the quest starting spot for the Silver Key, the Naga between the starting spot and the Island for the Gold Key, and then go unlock the chest to finish the quest. The drop rate on the keys is pretty good, it's some nice XP, some nice gold from the reward, and about 1g from vendoring the two items that are also rewarded.

watch out for the 40+ patroll and keep an eye out on your breath bar it killed me to much times

You are looking on the wrong island the one you want is farther north you cant see the whole thing on the map. It on the right side of the island around some trees, its quiet a large island.

All the Naga here have a chance at dropping the key. As long as you are near the island at 32.22 it will drop eventually. Has a pretty good drop rate so should not take long

Took me best part of an hour to get both keys. Make sure you pick up "Other Fish to Fry" (http://classicdb.ch/?quest=6143) from Shadowprey Village before you start this, you'll complete it while you grind up the golden key.

The silver key drops from drysnaps near the ship wreckage and the golden from slitherblades and oracles on the island where the chest is located

before you go tot eh big island go southwest in the water.&nbsp The dry princers are there next to a large ship reck.&nbsp Then head to the large island kill some naga and then open the chest.

Drysnaps are humanoids --- I scanned for beasts and found crab-like things --- these are lobster-humanoids --- best location near the shipwreck south of the lighthouse.

Coords above for quest start and chest are good.

Gold key from the naja's and silver key from the lobsters.

3x now and found them every time close to shore.

Good Luck!

In the diary, it states that the drysnaps (those oversized crabbish lobsters) took the silver key and the ---- (mermaid and mermen) took the gold key.
It took me about 6 drysnap kills to get the silver key and about the same number of kills on the warriors and princesses near the shore for the gold key.
The treasure is on the large island touching the upper left side of the map. Starting from the southern center tip of the island, head straight over the first small hill. There will be a tree to your left. The chest is above ground behind the tree.

What is even worse, the everquest designers and players think it is cool staying up for a week waiting for one spawn.

i found the gold key on the small island on a slytherblade mirmidon and i have searched like an houre for the damn silver key, i found it eventualy at 29,33 a crawler had it.

Level 39+ Giant walking in the water around the SW corner of Ranazjar Isle

Very fun, very easy, great reward, and the shield looks like a ship's steering wheel when you wear it. Very unique look!

Oh, and you get the quest by finding a book called Rackmore's log on the shore of the sea right near the shipwreck. There are a lot of barrels scattered there and the book is sitting on the shore.

Where do you find the log that begins the quest?
If it is a drop, who drops it?

After some misgivings, I solo'd this pair of quests with my lvl 32 gnome rogue.

I got Karnitol's Chest and decided to give it a shot simple as can be. Found the chest at 36,30, half buried in the sand next to the wrecked dinghy. Grabbed the book while I was there and started this quest.

Took a LOT of swimming around and believe me, the Deepdive Helmet was a godsend, but the gold key dropped from a Slitherskin Warrior after about 10-12 kills, and I got the silver key from a Drysnap Crawler after about the 5th one, give or take.

Getting the chest itself is about the trickiest part. For starters, and I don't know if the location moves around from person to person, but I wouldn't put it past Blizzard, I found it on the east/northeast side of Ranazjar Isle, almost directly east of the serpent statue. A good tactic (for a rogue anyway) is to sneak onto the isle from the west side, go behind the statue and over the hilly part until you see a tree sitting almost right against the foundation of the ruins. The chest is at the base of that tree...and there's usually at least 2 naga there, one of them being a lvl 35 Razortail. He won't wander far enough away that you can open the chest without him seeing you, so I decided to get cute with it. (Hey...it's a game, right? ::grin:: )

Distract...go for the chest...let him beat on you as you hammer the Continue button...Vanish...and voila! Before he knew his tail spikes from his elbow, I was halfway to shore. Hooah!

Biggest key, in my opinion, is patience. Take on the baddies one by one until you get the keys...find the chest...choose your moment...and make it count when you act. Won't be the fastest quest you've ever done, but it will get done.

That's it. You can't possibly not complete the quest with this information! :D Rofl

It does not matter which Sliterblade you kill just as long as it is a Sliterblade, although the Naga's have the best chance to drop and over 2%

I really appreciated the guidance, especially in finding the chest. I'd never of thought you should look on that island, not to mention, expect to be able to cross the deep water.

For the time it took to do this quest and the financial rewards at the end, this is by far the most effective quest I've done yet as a level 37 mage. Do this one -- it's well worth the effort (if you're looking for cash)

rated this quest perfect!
awesome rewards, and it is done in no time

Just yesterday I sold my last under water breathing potion figuring I probably wouldn't need it. Figures that I run into a quest like this the next day.
