Follow the river out to the cliff waterfall, either jump from there into the water or travel south to the path down. The chest is at the base of the waterfall. There is a lvl 48 elite turtle that frequents the area so becareful.

Comment by 190

More precise, it's at 81,47.

Comment by 38687

The exact cordinates are at 80,46

Those turtles are not very frequent in the area as one will go up and down the coast very slowly, hes actually part of a quest later

Comment by 48542

If you move your mouse over the mob and checking the box that comes up and seeing if it says elite in it is another way to figure out if it's elite.

Comment by 63076

Alliance and Horde can also do https://www.cuckhead.com/cata/quest=580 while they're there.

Comment by 90302

Found it at 80, 46.

The Turtle Used to be Elite....after patch 2.3 it is a non-elite 48 turtle.So do not worry

Comment by Valdan

I added a screenshot so you can see the mini map and where I physically am in the water and surroundings close to me to give you an idea as to where the location is for this item.

Comment by MrLight

8800XP at level 50 after patch 2.3

Comment by 127805

Actually Gammerita is no longer elite, i killed her earlier today doing a quest where you have to take a picture of her, the turtles are passive, they do not attack unless you attack them first if i'm not mistaken

Comment by 140025

yah Gammerita is no longer elite, so this quest has become much much easier

chest is at the bottom of the waterfall, no problem finishing, easy as hell without the elite stats =-Þ

yay 2.4.2!

Comment by 180079

Was there just today - the scroll is there, but the uest isn't.
No exclmation mark or anything... Pity really...

Comment by 178062

[/b The Turtle its a lvl 48 yes but nope its not an elite very easy to beat on my 44 hunter! Only thing is he respawns really fast!

Comment by 251993

Gammerita is no longer elite or rare but still hostile.

Comment by 306645

Thank you for this plethera of information. However, could we get back to the "where"? where exactly is what we are looking for? thanks.

Comment by 306645

Got it. The first part is in The Swamp of Sorrows...careful of the Orcs, but it is easy to find.

Comment by 230809

Entire chain counts towards Loremaster of EK only, despite one part located in Dustwallow

Comment by BethofHearts

I completed this quest as lvl 47 Warlock. Ran into two hostile turtles along the way; Gammerita(48) and Ironback(51) but was not hard at all even though is was listed as such. The chest is located at the base of the falls underwater. Ironback and a few of his buddies are swimming around where it lies.

I suggest picking up the Whiskey bottle quest from SV to go with this one as well. The bottles are along the same stretch of beach.

Comment by 254118

Here is the path in which I went through for this quest chain:

Picked up the scroll on one of the boats south of Booty Bay.

First quest:
https://www.cuckhead.com/cata/quest=624
Swap of Sorrows (22.9, 48.3)

Second part:
https://www.cuckhead.com/cata/quest=625
Dustwallow Marsh (42,72.)
In the back of the cave with the raptors

Third Part:
https://www.cuckhead.com/cata/quest=626
The Hinterlands (80.8,46.8)
In the water under the water fall

Hope that helps! ^_^

Comment by 424058

The quest says to go to Lordaeron, but the item is NOWHERE NEAR LORDAERON (aka Undercity). It's at the base of the OVERLOOK CLIFFS waterfall east of Aerie Peak on the ocean. You can go around on the road and come up the grassy beach, fighting lvl 50 turtles all the way, or do what my friend and I did: Jump off the Overlook Cliff into the ocean, turn around, and swim 10 yards to the box. No elite turtle was there to meet us and we weren't harassed. Easy in, Easy out, even for a 38 mage.

Comment by 424058

Screen shots to follow.

Comment by ithorien

Quest turned gray for me at 60 (if not earlier, didn't notice exactly), not 62 as Wowhead suggests.

Comment by siltian

soloed as a lvl 34 feral druid turtke is now lvl 46 as of patch 3.1.7

Comment by Asaman

I really dislike that this quest requires so much running but only gives a back pack, not even a treasure imo.

Comment by 489249

The final clue to the hidden immunity idol!

Comment by 412940

After completing the quest, to the south is a trail back up to the rest of the zone.

Comment by 267232

This quest is marked as deleted, but I was able to pick it up on 12-1-10 (patch 4.0.3a) as usual in Dustwallow Marsh. I was surprised, as I had checked for the Swamp of Sorrows version already post-breaking and it was not available. I haven't done any of the prior quests since 4.0.

Bizarre--I went to bed and signed back on the next day, and the quest is no longer in my log.

Comment by Thottbot

Easy Jump from the rocks on Overlook and land in the water no damage.

Comment by Thottbot

Here Are teh coords :o)

- 81,47 -

Comment by Thottbot

This final quest gave me 6100 xp at level 46. Also, everyone can use a 14 slot bag.

Comment by Thottbot

I just did this If you Jump over Overlokk You land in the Water No Damage the Chest is right near bottom. I then Did Whiskey Slims lost grog quest. The Bottle are along the bank of the lake. They are blue

Comment by Thottbot

80,46 just at the bottom of the waterfall

Comment by Thottbot

There's a path down at 71,64

Comment by Thottbot

I did it on lvl 39 and it took me to lvl 40, still only 6100 exp but on lvl 39 that is much, one and a half square of exp. I took a 60 friend to help me to the water then I swam from there to the waterfall.

Comment by Thottbot

In what area is "Overlook" located? It seems this is a little hard to understand for some. So, exactly where is the objective?

Comment by Thottbot

we jump for fun... why should we walk all the way long if we can jump down the waterfall ?

Comment by Thottbot

81.47 - easy to spot, right beneath the waterfall.

Comment by Thottbot

Those of you worrying about the snapjaws on the shore, they won't attack you unless you attack them. They're yellow guys. Pay attention to the "enemy" colors.

The only things you have to be wary of for this part are 1-Actually getting there (since you have to run through The Hinterlands and there are some beasts that you will aggro along the way. I'm 46 and with my mount I can usually get by pretty easily without them knocking me off). 2-The one named elite (Gamiteria or something like that) who -will- attack you but moves super-slowly around the coast and is easy to avoid. 3-Any players of the opposing faction (I know there's a horde town there on the other side of the coast, and this is a big farming location for leatherworkers in both factions because we need the turtle scales).

Comment by Thottbot

1.) Make your way to 'The Hintelands' (Eastern Kingdoms) island.

2.) all the way east... River Meets the Sea....

3.) River turns in to the waterfall.

4.) Right there under the waterfall in the water the chest that you need to get to to complete the quest !

�� screenshots above will help !

(location of the chest is: (81,47)

hope this helps ! gl and fh !

:) see ya

Comment by Thottbot

I decided to follow d#$%^ie's advice, found the path easily

Comment by Thottbot

Thats is what has not been said i guess.
The Hinterlands

Comment by Thottbot

I like how nobody seems to know that the name of the "horde base" is Revantusk. Just to make it easier for us hordies,you can fly to Revantusk and just run up the coast (avoiding Gammerita if you're a lowbie) to the waterfall.

Comment by Thottbot

Swamp of sorrows 23,48
Dustwallow marsh 31,66
Hinterland 80,46

you people talk too much.

Comment by Thottbot

is there anything in the bag when you get it?

Comment by Thottbot

For alliance, there's an even easier way. Swimming. Go to the highlands and take the river over to the "sea". Swim north. You'll pass a testing area that has two dwarves and nothing else, go further north. Skirt around the Horde territory and you're there. No fuss, serious HP lost. Easy as pie.

Comment by Thottbot

i was doing this quest chain on my 46 shaman cuz i had never got to do it on my other toons, and i there i was riding along in the Hinterlands. i approached the Overlook Cliffs, eyed a nice safe spot from which to jump, and leapt out to the sea, thinking of that nice and easy XP i would be getting.

i hit the water with a splash, got my bearings straight as to where the waterfall was, when to my surprise, i got bit in the arse by something. i looked up to see a turtle with a red #51 in his tooltip surrounded by a silver rare-spawn designation. ACKK! i totally wasnt expecting any hostile mobs, because all my previous experience had confirmed what all the posters here had said: nothing to fear here but Gammerita.

well the nasty 5-levels-above-mine rarespawn continued to eat my juicy butt-meat as i dropped a stoneclaw totem and looked for a way up on to dry land, but there was no place to go into behind the waterfall like i had expected there to be, and my butt was quickly being eaten for dinner. so all i could do was turn around and give it my all. dropping stoneskin totem, grace of air, healing stream, and searing totem, i began to lay into him. he resisted the first few stormstrike + earth shock combos i threw at him, and i began to think it was looking grim. but finally the blows started to land, and his health bar started getting smaller. i took a break to cast a few heals on me while my totem kept shooting at him, and finally got back up to almost full. out of mana, i drank a mana pot to get back to about half, and resumed the Stormstrike + Earth Shock madness.

finally, at about 10% health left, the bugger croaked, and i jumped out of my chair and cheered. i looted my "improved loot" from the rarespawn (nothing great, just some turtle meat, a scale, and some random crappy green that i dont even remember) and swam down to open the chest, finishing my quest and claiming my xp and bag. i then climbed on shore, hearthed back to Shatt, and sighed with relief.

so, yes most of the mobs on the coast are neutral, but don't let your guard down. there's a 51 rarespawn out there waiting to eat someone's ass.

Comment by Thottbot

Lvl 48 Druid. I did this quest smoothly thanks to all these posts (as with most strange quests like this). One thing I didn't see (excuse me if it is here) is that nobody told you where to jump off of.

Jump off the farthest pointing rock - you will land directly in the water and take no damage. If you jump off too close you'll take fatal damage, even if you have "Slow Fall".

Even if you have Netherweave Bags or higher, this quest is, for most people, for experience.

I'll use the bag in my bank.

Comment by Thottbot

yo i soloed this with my lvl 38 human pally no probs except the raptors in part 2

Comment by Thottbot

With patch 2.3 the xp is now 8800!

Comment by Thottbot

8800 Exp at level 43 (post-patch exp boost)

Comment by Thottbot

Very nice quest for those who want a lot of xp without do anythinhg. Coords written before are ok, also screens help :)

Comment by Thottbot

for all you shamans out there doing this quest
dont be like me

TURN YOUR WATER WALKING OFF BEFORE YOU JUMP OF THE CLIFF

cause jumping off with water walking still on hurts... ALLOT!

>_<

Comment by Thottbot

Cool quest. Finished as a 45 Shammy, and got jumped by Gamera on the beach. It was 48 regular, non-elite, non-rare. No sweat.

Comment by Thottbot

8800xp for my lvl 52 human paladin

Comment by Thottbot

is it a chain? i still havent been in hinterlands and was just looking for nice rewards, im lvl 49...too late?

Comment by Thottbot

Did this quest on my level 41 Warlock, had no trouble in any part of the quest (Pirates and Dinos are pretty weak).

Comment by Thottbot

81,47 confirmed. Got a 14 slot bag and 8800xp at lvl 47. Easiest quest I have ever done.

Comment by Thottbot

treen, my (level 35) hunter picked up the scroll (followed a party on to ship)did the rest 'all alone', got it done by level 36 got 8800xp too... hardest part was the second part, raptors suck! but most were busy :)

Comment by Thottbot

This part of the quest isn't too hard to get too, really. The turtles down below are not aggro, and at level 41 I got 8800 exp just for this last part, over 15k exp for the whole quest.

Comment by Allakhazam

Yep, really easy as long as you don't aggro too much . I had great fun jumping from the waterfall to see the chest at the bottom.

Comment by Allakhazam

"Ya know, there for a second....yeah. I did."
Orin Ishii and Beatrice Kiddo

6100 XP (at lvl 52) AND a 14 slot bag! Just for runnin around! I think the hardest part of this quest is actually stumbling on it in the first palce. Thanks for the gimme Blizz!

Comment by Allakhazam

I found the chest at 80,46

Comment by Allakhazam

yes you have to do the quest before to open the chest

Comment by Allakhazam

All I did was get as far forward on the rocks sticking out from the top of the waterfall and jumped out. Landed safely in deep water below. Don't understand all these quotes about painful fall.

Comment by Allakhazam

Fly to Aerie Peak jump off the waterfall, follow the river you can't miss it.

Comment by Allakhazam

I found it at 81.45.

6100 XP at level 48.

Just went south of there, and at 81.54 found "Pupellyverbos Port" on ground.
This is for the quest: Whiskey Slim's Lost Grog. Found these all the way south to Revantusk Village. Most were at 78.75.

Comment by Allakhazam

why didnt u get it?

Comment by Allakhazam

I flew to Revantusk Village in the Hinterlands and went north along the shore. There are level 49-50 Saltwater Snapjaws, but they don't attack. There was a level 48 snapjaw there named Gammerita, but I just about ran through it and it didn't attack me.

The chest is under the waterfall at 80,46, marked with a question mark.

+8800 XP

Level 48 Paladin

Comment by Allakhazam

Completed the quest this morning, got the exp and rep, didn't get the 14 slot bag :'(

What kind of crap is that......would have been nice to use in my bank slot :/

Comment by Allakhazam

Told my firend i was doing a lvl 51 quest at lvl 43. I sadi it was for a 14 slot bag and i get to solve riddles. He said i can give you 3 16 slot bags no riddles.

Anyhow i did it, 8800 xp, 15000 xp for all 3 quests.

Comment by Allakhazam

however cant get that chest

Comment by Allakhazam

6100 XP at level 51. I kept looking around the wrong waterfall in the Hinterlands.

Is there a way of figuring out how much XP a quest gives if you're above/below the quest level?

Comment by Allakhazam

I did the all three quests with druid 43 level ;)

Edited, Sat Mar 4 00:19:31 2006

Comment by Allakhazam

can find the chest, is it in the high lands?

Comment by Allakhazam

I did this as a lvl 35 rogue. The hardest part was waiting long enough for a higher level person to clear the pirates out enough for me to get the quest in the first place. I actually got the scroll when I was lvl 33 and had to wait until 35 before I could open it. I mostly just snuck around stealthed, and only got killed when a raptor moved right when I thought he would move left. (They do have a nasty tendency to notice when they step on you!)

Comment by Allakhazam

Just curious...do you you actually have to do the quest to get this?

Comment by Allakhazam

got 6100xp at lvl42! this was a piece of cake, with my mount i just over ran the mob!

Reward was 6100xp at 51.

Comment by Allakhazam

Hmm just did this at lvl 47 .. Like the others says jump (I died :P), and get the chest .. I didn't even see a KOS turtle :) But if you should die, the graveyard is only 10 sec away, lucky enough for me. Thought I was going to run entire Hinterlands :P

Cya

Comment by Allakhazam

This quest is extremely easy, I did it as a L41 with a mount. As long as you can avoid the aggro by outrunning any mobs, you'll find this easy. Around 10k XP for doing nothing more than running.

Comment by Allakhazam

Easy horde quest.

Flew to Raventusk, followed the shoreline north and jumped into the water at the bottom of the waterfall to grab the chest.

Comment by Allakhazam

While killing the raptors, I found another Journeyman's Backpack (14 slot), which means, I got 2 14-slot packs for the quest. Quite lucky I say!

Edited, Fri Nov 25 13:58:10 2005

Comment by Allakhazam

@ lvl 52. BE Pally. 8800xp.

Comment by Allakhazam

This quest is marked as level 51 but providing you are careful you can do it much much earlier. I did this quest at level 41 and did not die once during this stage of the quest.

The final item is located, as the quest notes say, in a chest on the coast of the hinterlands at the bottom of a big waterfall. This waterfall is at the end of the only river on the map of the hinterlands.

The easiest way to complete this quest is to follow the path until you can see the large pool at the start of the river, just to the north of Agol Watha. At this point jump into the river and follow it to the coast. I did not see anything in the water nor on the shore of the river as i swam down.

Once you reach the waterfall you need to make your way out as far as possible on the rocks at the top of the waterfall and then just jump, you should land at the bottom but behind the level 49 KOS turtles and out of agro range. I was able to open the chest and complete the quest then use my hearthstone to get back out without getting any agro.

Hope that helps.

Comment by Allakhazam

This was a fun quest. I loved it. The reward was "meh" but I thought the riddles, while simple were clever. Are there any more quests like this? I'd like to do them. :)

Comment by Allakhazam

The scenario described in Azette's post is entirely do-able, I was able to complete the quest series last night. Just stay in the water get on the rock that protrudes the furthest out of the waterfall and move forward until you fall off. No hit to HP, swim to the right a tad and there's the underwater chest with the pack in it. 6100 XP @ lvl 46, swim to shore summon your mount and race past the lvl 49-50 Turtles. There is a path back up the mountain south of the waterfall. Good luck & happy hunting!

Edited, Fri May 27 15:33:42 2005

Comment by Allakhazam

no one said the obvious:
if you see the river that starts at the center, the waterfall is at the end all the way to the right ( east). the chest is at the bottom, so have safe fall or be prepared for a painful fall.

has anyone found a way back up for Ally?

Comment by Allakhazam

Really easy for the xp. Did at lvl 39 and got 6100xp. Cliff diving was the best part :)

Comment by Allakhazam

Ahh sadly enough this has to be one of the most fun things I've done yet on WOW (this stage that is).

Yup, scramble your way to hinterlands as described below and go to the co-ords 80,46.

Giant waterfall at the shore basically. Do it right, and you'll land in deep water (aka take no damage, painful fall? only if you fear heights :P), just swim to where the waters hitting the ocean and you can't miss the box. Good XP.

Good fun I must admit. I saw the drop and was like "omg you have to be kidding", with my fear of heights I actually felt sick just looking at it xD Considering the drop and all the water I felt harsh on my snow leopard and considered dismissing it for the fall xD but bless him he came taking the gentle path across the rocks where the water filters through to its fall and came and joined me by my side.. Heartwarming? I thought so.. ahem yes, good long drop only to be greeted by giant turtles I thought'd kill me but they're yellow, so don't aim and fire anything they'll quite happily ignore you.
Happy diving ^_^

Funnily enough, my pet actually ditched me by time I hit the water, I guess it didn't actually jump with me ;_; and course we went too far apart too fast and he was automatically dismissed, fraidy cat ;_;

Comment by Allakhazam

Completed this morning at co-ords 81,46 (or 80,46; it doesn't matter).
For those who DON'T have co-ords, here is screenie of the location on the map: here

Yes, you must have the quest, as the bag doesn't loot from the chest, it's the quest reward. It's not an openable chest. Once you jump from the waterfall (or walk through the non-aggro turtles) into the water, it's a small-ish black and silver chest. You can't miss it.

I solo'd this at level 42 with my warlock. I did die once or twice on the way there from the stealthed wolves.. the moral of the story is: stay on the road!
It's much easier if you have a mount.

6100 XP at level 42 + a nifty bag.

Comment by Allakhazam

While the description of the fun to be had jumping off the waterfall to get to the chest is quite evocative, be advised that the water below is not of a uniform depth, and if you land in water that isn't deep enough, you will get hit for quite a nice chunk of damage (I was hit for 2199, just a few points over what was needed to kill me )

So, be careful jumping.

Comment by Allakhazam

Just like it says...80,46 at the base of the waterfall, underwater. 6100xp and the bag. Not bad for about 20 minutes of running time.

Comment by Allakhazam

BTW u can make this trip worthwile if u have the quests whiskey's slim lost grog & The super snapper FX, both can be completed at this location just a bit south.
Don't do like me and forget to take the picture of the sea turtle gammerita (with the super snapper FX)

Comment by Allakhazam

getting to the hinterlands if you've never been there before is by far the worst part of this quest, the rest is easy schmeasy. what i did (after trying other ways) was go to hillsbrad and behind durnholde keep in the mountains theres a path which comes out right near the FP in the hinterlands, so make sure you grab that on your way to the waterfall (it's at the very top of the hill in that little town like place). like everyone else said, 80, 46 for the chest, 6100 exp as a 44 druid

Comment by Allakhazam

I don't know how exactlly, but she did use the HeartStone to get back just a few minutes before Maintanance kicked in. Was really cool indeed :-)

Alliance, StormRage Server

Comment by Allakhazam

Just an FYI, the turtles in the area are no longer agro, so this quest is even easier than before. You could just run up the coast if you wanted with no worries. But really, who wants to miss out on an excuse to cliff dive?

Comment by Allakhazam

Okay, as much fun as it is, you don't actually have to jump off the cliff. If you go south to the graveyard, there is a trail down. IAlliance, be careful with this - there is a horde town close to the base of the cliff!)

Comment by Allakhazam

I already had the Fly Path of Revantusk Village, so i only needed to go north to the waterfall and then it was there underwater,just next to the waterfall, verry easy if u have the fly path. 6100xp at lvl 44 and the bag ofcourse.

Comment by candylandish

After jumping off the waterfall and completing the quest, there's a horde camp to the south so I went north to try to find another way back up. There is no path to the north at all. I swam all the way north trying to climb every possible path, past the plaguelands, before my hearthstone cooldown finally ran out.

Comment by Sluggzo

For anyone who might be doing this on hardcore for the 14-slot bag, note you don't have to jump off the waterfall in the far northeast to reach the bag.

You can simply run down the same ramp you'd use to get to Gammerita or Whiskey Slim's Lost Grog (the path down starts just north of Jintha'alor) and run north at the bottom and you'll find the locker with the backpack in it underwater at the waterfall.
