Kommentar von Kackboonchen

Rackmores silberner Schlüssel droppt scheinbar ausschließlich von Kaltschnappzange also südlich wo man die Quest gestartet hat. Rackmores goldener Schlüssel droppt von Krieger der Zackenkämme oder Naga der Zackenkämme recht gut, wobei da wohl jegliche Zackenkämme das Item droppen können.

Anschließend müsst ihr nordwestlich raus ins Meer zur Insel Ranazjar schwimmen, bei ca. /way 30.0, 8.8 an einem Baum findet ihr dann Rackmores Truhe.

Silver key drops off of the Makura crab people; gold key off of the nagas. I found the chest on Ranazjar Isle at 30, 9.

Slitherblade Naga dropped the Rackmore's Golden Key and Drysnap Crawler dropped the Silver one for me.

Very Simple Quest but you may need some sort of underwater breathing buff to make it SUPER SIMPLE. ON your way to Ranazjar Island kill a Drysnap Crawler for the Silver Key, Then kill a Slitherblade Naga for the Golden Key (both first kill first drop for me) then once on the island look next to the building next to a tree on the NE side of the structure.

Kommentar von MrFreeze

Took me about 30+ kills to get the silver key. The gold one dropped on the 2nd kill.

Kommentar von mashby

For those using Cosmos or Titan Panel plugins, the coordinates are 29,8 for the chest.

Kommentar von 16471

Silver Key - off the Lobster mobs near the ship
Gold Key - from the Naga on the Island north of the wrecked ship on shore. (32.23 - Island)

Kommentar von 24532

This is soooo not worth it. The droprate sucks, and so does the rewards. Atleast for a caster.

Kommentar von Anvil

If Blizzard ever decides to recycle the Vicidous fight, you'll want the frost wand from this quest. It's the fastest one in the game.

Kommentar von Neowolf

Seems to be bugged at the moment: as a draenei shaman I was able to pick up the quest and collect both keys, but for some reason couldn't open the chest.

Kommentar von 12640

The chest is on the naga island out in the see, not where you picked up the quest. https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/object=177786

Slitherblade Naga dropped the Rackmore's Golden Key and Drysnap Crawler dropped the Silver one for me.

Chest Location: 29,8

Big Island.. Surrounded by level 35-36 Nagas - be careful.

Kommentar von 43758

If the chest is not a radom spawn location, I posted a screenshot of where I found it because it took awhile of clearing the island to discover it behind a tree which is the same location as the first screenshot for this chest.
Chest Location: 30,9 Ranazjar Isle

Kommentar von 20486

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

Kommentar von SkyMarshall

This is how it went down for me:

Gold Key: Slitherblade Naga - Sar'Theris Strand - 32,22 - after 1 kill
Silver Key: Drysnap Pincer - Sar'Theris Strand - 32,29 (under water) - after 4 kills
Chest: Ranazjar Isle - 29,8 (exactly)

There is also close to a 100% drop on Fishscales and Fish Oil, witch is good for Shaman's and their waterwalking/underwater breathing.
And the quest-reward, the shield "Captain Rackmore's Wheel" looks absolutely rediculous (L)

Kommentar von salad

All the cords. and quests to do it with are right.I was finishing all of em' up when all the sudden one of those giants ran up outta' the water..........dead in like 5seconds.

Kommentar von 59223

the silver one i got on first kill,
golden on ninth kill

Kommentar von Fuschia

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 :)

Kommentar von 96871

Logically, shouldn't this quest only be availible to Alliance, seeing as Horde can't read "Common"?

Kommentar von drivehappy

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

As of 2.3 this quest yeilds 3500exp.

Kommentar von 105364

A Slitherblade Warrior dropped the gold key for me at 35,24

Kommentar von 99234

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

Kommentar von Delecti

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

https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/quest=6027

Easy to complete as your there anyway.

Kommentar von castorjay

i must have bad luck, i had to kill about 40 naga before i got the gold key.

Kommentar von 107421

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.

Kommentar von 126223

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

Kommentar von Terc

I got half a level on the Drysnaps before they finally dropped the silver key.

Just unlucky I guess.

Kommentar von Tehdew

got golden key on first kill and silver on 20-25th

Kommentar von Forget

This is really making me mad! I got this quest shared by a group member. I found the gold key and I have killed around 40 different things of each species and still NO silver key. I wonder if this is bugged.

Kommentar von 133229

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.

I recieved 3500 exp for this quest at level 38. Description above says 2800.

Kommentar von 109517

I got the gold key on my 2nd kill but the silver key took around 20-30 kills : /

Kommentar von 141236

I found the silver key on the Slitherblade Naga after a few kills, then found the gold key on the slytherblade mirmidon just of Ranazjar Isle where the chest is aswell. Residue is right to you get 3500 exp for this quest.

Kommentar von 141414

When I was doing this quest (patch 2.4), nothing had changed since SkyMarshall's comment on 06/19/2007 (Patch 2.1.2). So use his marvelous comment, it worked for me.

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

Kommentar von danb

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

Kommentar von 152155

Work:
Gold Key: Slitherblade Naga- 2 kills
Silver Key: Drysnap Pincer-6 kills
Chest: Ranazjar Isle - 29,8 cords, the single isle on the left corner of the map
Take healing potion with you, if u die the graveyard is so farawayyyyyyyy:)
After all u gain 3500XP.

Kommentar von 158199

I did the following quests along with this one:

Clam Bait
Other Fish to Fry
The Corruptor

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.

Kommentar von 163484

this quest is annoying. i killed 2 nagas got the golden and ive killed about 30+ lobsters thing and still no key -.-

Kommentar von Thottbot

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

Kommentar von Thottbot

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.

Kommentar von Thottbot

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

Kommentar von Thottbot

This is a fab quest - nice dosh, nice items, fairly quick.

Walkthru:
Activate quest west of Ethel Rethor at the coast. There was a lvl 40 elite giant wandering around when I did it, so watch out. Kill Drysnap pincers by the wreckage (right by where u get quest) until u get the silver key. Head north along the coast and kill slitherblade sorceresses til u get the gold key (Those are the nagas that dropped the keys for me, maybe others drop them too). Long swim northwest to the bigger island. Go on the island from the east side and u probly only need kill 2-3 nagas to get to Rackmore's chest which is by a tree. If you are horde, activate the quest "Other fish to fry" in shadowprey village first, this can be completed on the way.

I did this with a 36warlock and I had rested bonus so 400-500 xp per monstie and 2800 xp per quest. Safe.

Kommentar von Thottbot

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

Kommentar von Thottbot

Silver key 34:30
Gold key 32:22

Kommentar von Thottbot

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.

Kommentar von Thottbot

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!

Kommentar von Thottbot

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.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I just completed this. It was frustrating. I arrived on the coast and turned in my quest. I forgot to pickup the new quest which is given here and began killing Snappers and Naga - of course no keys. Spent 15 minutes before I realized it. Went back and took the Quest and began killing again still no keys dropped after about 5 Naga & 5 Snappers. Swam out to the Island and killed 10 Naga on the island and the gold key dropped. Went back to the sunken ship and killed 20 Snappers - no silver key. Was about to give up and went for some stranglekelp and by chance there was a Snapper behind the boat who I decided to kill out of frustration before I left and the silver key dropped. There are some previous posts I would like to comment on.
1. Quest is not bugged - make sure you take the quest - there will be a yellow question mark on the shore when arrive for the first time. When you cash it in a yellow exlamation mark will appear over another object - be sure to take it.
2. I had get the gold key first and did so by killing Naga on the island no in the water. One poster had the same results as I did. The Naga who dropped the gold key was on the rocks leading to the locked box.
3. The snapper who dropped the silver key was behind the sunken ship when facing it from the shore.

Hope this helps. Good luck.

Kommentar von Thottbot

i got on my first kill
i think thats all i see on this site when i read quests

Kommentar von Thottbot

Got gold key first kill from Slitherblade Nagga and silver first kill from the Drysnap Pincher easy quest for 38 troll priest

Kommentar von Thottbot

Two kills, two keys. Immediately right and left of the log location. Can't ask for more than that.

Stay near the surface when you swim to the island, and you won't pull aggro from the naga unless you get unlucky. The island itself is COVERED with the buggers, but they are easy to pull one at a time.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

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?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

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.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

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.

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.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

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)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

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

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I killed drysnaps south of where the Rackmore's Log for a while (34,31) then went up north to kill naga on the island that has the chest (it's the same island in the Book of the Ancients quest). Once you have both keys, the chest is 29,8 (CTmod) under a tree at the north-east corner of the temple ruins. Completed the quest at 38 which granted 2800xp and no faction adjustment.

Silver key drops off of the Makura crab people; gold key off of the nagas. I found the chest on Ranazjar Isle at 30, 9.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Okay...lots of great info here, but this quest is a PIA.

The keys dropped for me while I was completing the Catch of the Day quest, iirc. The gold one took numerous kills, but I was getting good EPs with my lvl 34 Pally and completing another quest so no biggy.

But when I got to Ranazjar Isle, I must have killed every sticking fish dude on that isle twice before I found the chest. It was tucked behind a tree right next to the ruin...impossible to see unless you were above it on the rock. The Gem never dropped.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I got the gold key off the first myrmidon I killed. I killed about 8 Drysnaps to get the silver key. The chest is located on the large island at 29,8.

Who Drops the Silver Key..? The Gold Key and Chest are on the big island. I got the gold key from an Oracle in front of a Stature of Madusa. The Chest is on around behind the building from tat statue, between a tree and the building. A level 35 Pally can do the quest quite easy. Just watch out on the swim.. big nasty elite giants in the water.

I got both keys on my 3rd attempts. The silver key dropped from a Drysnap Crawler and the gold from a Slitherblade myrmidon. I ended up half clearing the island of enemies looking for the chest but cou;ld probably have done it by killing 3. Nice easy quest for a pretty decent reward.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This time around, drop rates were pretty good:

Gold Key on 1st kill.
Silver Key on 8th kill.

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

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I've done this quest twice and 2nd Drysnap Crawler kill dropped the silver key and 2nd Slitherblade _Myrmidon_ (note myrmidon not warrior) kill dropped the golden key. Twice.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Hi, some info that i didn't find clearly pointed out, is that this quest doesn't start off by killing nagas and drysnaps and getting the keys as drops, but that you first have to *pick up the log* (a scroll at 36,30 which is right beside the chest of the quest The Karnitol Shipwreck, with which you might want to combine this quest). After that, these monsters will drop the keys fairly soon. Regards.

this quest is very far from fast, had to scope up and down river to find diary, and i still havent found the chest, that other post is completly useless, there is no island in top left of map, there is one between that and top of desolace, but it has nothing but serpant statue, only other island is small ruins with more naga. No other islands, no chest on either, spent lots of time trying to find it, or any other unmapped islands, but looks like quest goes on hold till someone tells me where it is, because its no where to be found. need more instructional posts

getting the 2 keys was only fast part

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I did this easily, the first key dropped from the first myrmidon I killed, and the second key dropped from the third drysnapper I killed.
Getting to the chest wasn't that hard.. Only had to kill three myrmidons..

lvl 35 druid btw.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I soloed this with a lvl33 hunter with most of the heavy work done by my pet turtle.

The keys both dropped after about 5 kills. The island with the chest is fairly heavily infested with mobs ranging up to lvl37 so if you are a relatively low level like me, you might want to avoid a lot of attention. I swam to the back of the island where there was more open area and had to make 4 kills to get to the chest. If you're approaching from the back, its straight up and a bit to the right near the marble ruins.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The log is located on the shoreline at 36,30. The sunken ship is just offshore.

For the keys, One drops off any of the naga - found to the right from the log's location as you face the sea. The other drops off of the drysnap pincers - to the left of the log's location.

The chest is at 29,08 at the base of the building on the island (northeast corner). Probably the easist approach is to hit the island on the southeast corner and hug the side of the building. Watch for 'submerged' naga on the way to the island.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The correct co-ords for the chest to complete this quest are 30,9.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I did this last night. Pretty fun quest in it's own right, but when coupled with the clam bait quest, it gets awfully tedious. Being underwater gets old after a while.

I got the silver key quickly killing the drysnaps; first or second kill. Took me about 5-7 kills of the mer-people to get the gold key. From there, I swam to the island staying on top of the water so as not to agro anything. I had to charge a female on land when I arrived and killed her. From there, it was tough. Lots and LOTS of mobs on that island. I eventually ran around back, found the chest and died. Was simple from there, ran back and rezzed in the little alcove in the back by the chest. Then single pulled the mobs around the chest, opened, and bingo. Cool quest. I did this all as a 33 shaman and never had too much difficulty. Although I did have to heal myself a few times during some fights (Myrmidons).

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Gold key. First kill, Myrmidon Sorceress
Silver key. First kill, Drysnap Pincer
Guess both keys can drop off any mob.

I had this quest, and I also had the second part of The Corruptor, so I was killing Oracles. On about my 10th Oracle, the mob dropped both the items I needed (Gold Key) and the Oracle Orb.

Guys, finding the chest is really easy cuz it's marked with a yellow question mark now! By the way, there's this lvl 39 elite giant that strolls around. Be careful cuz I was lvl 43 hunter when I did this and he still killed me (I got revenge later)!
Happy Questing

Really bad issues with the mobs you need to kill to get the silver key. Most of them are underwater and they seem to just not like getting killed. They will all of a sudden evade everything you cast/attack them with.

I found the gold key on the isle with the chest from either a tidehunter or sea witch. I found the silver key from a Drysnap next to the sunken ship. Those, I believe are the most common places to find it.

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

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I just got the gold key from a SORCERESS

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This quest Gives no faction rep

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Got the gold key while looking for the satchel for the other quest then came back and got the silver key with just a few kills.

Aquatic Form FTW!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Who gives that quest?

A few points of interest that I haven't seen mentioned in prior posts:

1. It may go without saying, but you will be fighting these creatures primarily under water, so it helps to have a potion (or two) if you don't have the innate ability to breath H2O.

2. Don't get all excited (as I did) the first time you pop your head under the water and see the multitude of giant clams scattered as far as the eye can see. Unless I was doing something wrong, these clams are strictly for decoration. Couldn't open a one. Didn't even get a cursor to do so.

3. I got the silver key off my fourth Drysnap Crawler. On the other hand, the gold key came after about my twelfth Slitherblade Warrior. Now, I had already killed about fifteen Slitherblade Myrmidons at that point because one of the earlier posts mentioned specifically "Note: Myrmidon, NOT Warrior." It may have been just coincidence. It might not matter which you kill, but I got the gold key off of a Warrior, no question.

4. ROGUES: As at Zoram Strand in Ashenvale, there is a whole slew of footlockers in the sand under the water here. Few are completely unguarded, so you'll find yourself having to fight off two Slitherblades on average per box, but I started my lockpicking skills at 153 and ended at 167, just shy of my max of 170 at this level, so it's well worth the effort. I would have stayed longer, but my underwater breathing potion ran out, and these boxes were fairly deep down, I usually failed on the first (even second) attempt as the boxes were all orange, and then of course there was the underwater battling required. Just not enough air to do it all without a pot.

5. Finally, no one has mentioned the elite Level 39 giant, the Deepstrider Searcher, that (very!) slowly patrols the shore. I was under water in mid battle with two Slitherblades when a giant foot suddenly appeared, followed by a club to my noggin'. Thank goodness Vanish was up and ready to go.

I got the keys easily and found the chest on Ranazjar Isle pretty much as soon as I got on the island. Got 2800 Exp for a lvl 38 lock.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I couldn't click on the wreckage to get the quest. It would highlight like you could click on it but neither mouse button would activate it.

In classic, this quest is probably worth it for the rewards. You get 1g15s in cash and two items that vendor for another 1g10s or so. That's 2g25s total from one quest at this level, which is excellent.

Rackmore's Golden Key has 60% chance to drop off Nagas
Rackmore's Silver Key has 15% chance to drop off Drysnap Crawlers & Drysnap Pincers

Vote this up so people see this! I wasted 30min farming Drysnap Crawlers for golden key... Killed more then 80 without drop. 2nd mob i killed of Nagas golden key dropped.

Kommentar von Oldbury

Because it's a long swim to the island where the treasure is located, make sure you have Buch der Uralten and Karnitols Schiffbruch before heading over!

Kommentar von Chalax53

= CLASSIC = Had to kill like 30+ crabs to get the silver key....

Kommentar von Achillex

Is 'Captain Rackmore' a play on 'Captain Rackham' from the famous 1943 Tintin comic/graphic novel? It seems like so many of the quests from the early aughts Classic era were plays on English literature (Green Hills of Stranglethron, etc.) or pop culture references.

Kommentar von Henderman

I like to supply each of my characters with an Azurblauer Seidengürtel. It makes this and every other swimming quest much easier. Equip it when you need to swim, take it off when you don't. Its usually on the AH for a few gold, if not, its cheap to make and almost every tailor has the recipe. And you can use it right up to max level.

34 priest solo got silver key off first drysnap, gold key off 2nd naga. Both mobs extremely close to book that starts quest. Went to island at same time as doing book of the ancients. Had to kill 5 or 6 naga on the island before summoning. Easy few gold made and the 38 naga is soloable if you kill the other naga near the statue first. I also recommend doing bone collector and kodo roundup while in desolace. Necklace for bone collector hard to get otherwise for a level 33 toon. kodo roundup is just quick and easy and in same graveyard as bone collector
