The Lost Tools

Foreman Oslow of Lakeshire wants you to retrieve his toolbox from the bottom of Lake Everstill.
Oslow's Toolbox

Description

I could really use a hand here, <name>. With the town under siege, it's been hard to get supplies. My tools were being delivered from Goldshire by wagon but the bridge was blown out. We put the tools in a boat but the orcs hit it with a catapult. Just my luck, my toolbox sank right to the bottom of the lake.

Retrieve my toolbox, <name>, and I'll make it worth your while.

Here's the best way to find the toolbox. First, stand on the bridge leading into Lakeshire. You'll see a patched, wooden part of the bridge*- stand on that and jump off into Lake Everstill below - jumping off the east side of the bridge into the water. Swim east and look underwater - beware of level 18 and 19 murlocs. As you swim east underwater, you'll come to a sunken rowboat. Keep swimming past it to the second sunken rowboat, and you'll see the chest on the bottom of the lake by the second sunken rowboat. So basically, jump east off the Lakeshire bridge and swim east, watching underwater for murlocs and the first then second sunken rowboat, and you'll find the sunken chest that contains Oslow's tools there on the bottom near the second sunken rowboat. Good luck!

*note - the wooden patched section of the Lake Everstill/Lakeshire bridge I am talking about is the small patch that's closest to the south end of the bridge &amp; the Redridge Mountains- not the wide wooden section of the bridge closest to Lakeshire. Right when you're first starting to enter Lakeshire, coming in from Redridge Mountains, that southern end of the bridge has a small little wooden patch on its east side. That's where I'm talking about.

Also beware of the elite monster that sometimes is in the vicinity. The quest can be done without having any confrontation at all, just swim around the murlocs in the area. This is a quick way to boost your armor, and decent expirience for the 5 minutes it takes to complete.

There are two elite monsters down there but still you can swim right in the middle of the lake and avoid them. No worries about murlocs either just avoid them.

And if all else fails and you do get attacked by something bigger than you (I was 16 and it was 20) swim to the box it is locked in and die. When resurrecting swim as a ghost all the way to your body, resurrect, and click on the box. Grab the tools and swim like crazy!!

Done in 5 min this way since the spirit thingy is right next to the lake.

If you'd like a map, the object you're looking for is the https://vanillawowdb.com/?object=32"">(Object #32).

I recommend doing https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=3741"">(Quest #3741) at the same time as this one. Neither require fighting, and the quest items for both are recovered from objects on the lake's floor. You might also want to do https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=150"">(Quest #150) if you're high enough level.

Fear works a charm if the murlocs are too hard :)

What is it with NPCs and dropping their *!@# in the water? I'm starting to think they throw it in and see how many people they can get to retrieve it.
