Notes

This is the opening quest for the first expansion of Everquest II, Desert of Flames.
This quest is part 1 of 3, which grants access to the instances Smarmy Sprocket and Prison of Admiral Grimgadget.
Accepting the quest you receive the following two items:
- Multidirectional Aerospanning Locationater (MAL) looks like a red cube.
- Manual Powered Mechanical Digging Device (MPMDD) looks like a pick axe.

Steps

Use the MAL to find the treasure. Keep in mind the following:
- The treasure is found in a random location (anywhere in the zone). If you're in a group, each person will be heading to different treasure locations.
- The MAL gives you two basic readings: Directional Color and Distance Strength
  - Directional Color:
    - Red = directly behind you
    - Orange = somewhere behind you
    - Yellow = somewhere in front of you
    - Green = straight in front of you
  - Distance Strength (in order from near to far):
    - Faint, Dim, Dull, Bright, Blinding
- When you're standing right on top of the treasure the MAL will glow with a blinding greenish hue. At this point use the MPMDD to dig up the treasure.
- Sometimes even a single step in a different direction can change how the MAL glows. If you think you're really close to the treasure and then suddenly seem to be far away, try stepping backwards a number of steps and use the MAL again. It takes a little bit of tweaking to find the treasure.
Return to Heron Cogcarrier.
