I believe this is a dungeon quest for the Iron Docks dungeon. Don't spend your time running around to all the lake/ocean areas like I did!

Comment by Jabo90

Found it atop of some cages, in the way towards the 3rd boss. It isn't a drop, but a gather item, and it appears very large in your minimap.

Comment by Yinxy

You can find it on the dock, when you are on your way to the 3rd boss. Its on the left on a table. Its a golden bowl. Its halfway that side of the dock (marked on your minimap)

I wasn't able to complete and had to abandon eventually.... it wouldn't let me queue for it because I outleveled the instance.

Can you not turn this in if you level too high? The NPC is not there anymore and it shows the turn-in spot is the main fire in my garrison. @_@

This quest is soloable as a level 93 (or higher) rogue with engineering. The only hard part is getting past the Orgon Laborers which have stealth detection. Most of them you can avoid without being seen (or with sprint / vanish, if you are caught), however the one just before the section where missiles are fired at you is very hard to avoid.

The one just after the missiles section is impossible to avoid, however with the Nitro Boosts from engineering, you're able to tank a couple of hits from it and run past, then when you're far enough away you can vanish.

It took me about 3 attempts of this before I was able to do it, past that it's an easy walk with distract / sap. I had 74,085 health at the time and only got hit for about 50k total before vanishing. Might be possible with sprint, prep, sprint and cheat death if you don't have engineering, but I haven't tested it.

Cache of Mingled Treasures from Ogre Ancestry in Bloodmaul Slag Mines
Strongbox of Mysterious Treasures from Budd's Gambit in Iron Docks
Crate of Valuable Treasures from Go Fetch in Auchindoun
Trove of Smoldering Treasures from Sky Dancers in Skyreach
Box of Storied Treasures from level 100 Daily Dungeon quests
Supply of Storied Rarities from level 100 Daily Heroic quests

All seem to contain the same gear, just different version (item levels) appropriate to the quest and dungeon. This one contains level 550 versions.

If you don't need such gear, the only reason to do these Lunarfall Inn / Frostwall Tavern Level 1 dailies would be the Apexis Crystal, Garrison Resources, Gold, or Experience. It doesn't strike me as worth the time when leveling up, unless your gear is horrid, or you like to level in dungeons.

To combine comments:

This is found in the Iron Docks Dungeon.
You CAN find this in NORMAL dungeon mode.
It's located between the second and third bosses. There's an area where you go down some steps and then up some - in that area, there are a bunch of crates, and it's a yellow flat-looking thing on top of one that is nearer to the steps you come from, and visible from the top of the steps. On higher graphics resollutions it may glitter or otherwise draw the eye. The place DOES have a large yellow dot, on your minimap. When I finally moused over it correctly, my cursor changed into the small icon that, to me, looks like a hand.
If the NPC who gave it to you isn't there when you go to turn it in, the dailies have probably changed since then. He'll be back.
Unconfirmed: At least one person said they couldn't get it, because they ended up too high a level to queue for the dungeon. I presume that one can still take a party and walk in the old-fashioned way.

Its a small gold item which is sitting on a group of stacked boxes. Kill the boss and then look around on top of the boxes.

Old quest but he is located inside your Tavern.

Comment by drpimento

soloed this dungeon yesterday. Today I get this q as a daily. I could get the shiny thing but run into a barrier just before Oshir and can't get to Skulloc (which is displaying as killed from yesterday). Why get a daily that you can't do?

Comment by Lilyoptra

Have been trying to turn this quest in for days now. Budd is nowhere to be found. He's not upstairs in the Inn like all the other NPC's for the dungeon quests if you don't do them the same day. The "?" is showing in the town square by the fountain, but he's not there (didn't expect him to be but checked just to be safe). He finally showed up days later in the regular rotation for quest givers and I was able to turn it in. Seems bugged, as the other quest givers were always upstairs if they weren't in that day's rotation.

Budd's Gambit

Collect a Very Shiny Thing from the Iron Docks.

	Very Shiny Thing (1)
	Skulloc slain (1)

Description

Listen, I don't know how I got here, but I have it on good authority that there is an entire island made of shiny things and it's just off of the coast a ways.

All we have to do is hop in the water and swim out there, then we can load up our pockets and swim back! I'm just going to rest up and do some stretching before heading out.

Don't try and stop me!
