This guide will explain how to complete the Treasures of the Waking Shores achievement, including all treasure locations and acquisition methods, as well as how to begin your initial progression.
This achievement requires a lot of heavy grinding, and is a big time commitment to complete.
Starting Treasure Finding
In order to begin your treasure hunt, you must first buy theArcheologists Artifact Notesfrom Cataloger Jakes. This is the subject of the questFunding a Treasure Hunt, which is the follow-on from theDragon Isles Suppliespre-quest.
Upon using the Notes, they will mark the location of the initial treasure on your map. Simply fly there and loot theGolden Dragon Goblet(found up on the ledge), to unlock access to the subsequent treasures. The Notes are cheap to buy, at only ten Dragon Isles Supplies, and although you can keep re-buying them over and over again, they serve no other purpose than letting you acquire the first treasure.
Cataloger Jakes can be found at47.0 82.6, inside the tent at theDragonscale Basecampin the Waking Shores
Available Waking Shores Treasures
There are eight treasures in total, but they vary widely in how easy they are to acquire. Five of them are relatively simple, requiring you to simply fly to their locations and pick them up. However, the last three will require you to search various objects to find their corresponding map. Once you have found one of the maps, you use it in the same way as the Archeologist Artifact Notes, whereby it will show you the location of the treasure, and you need only fly over and interact with it.

For the Bubble Drifter, after you have found the Guide To Rare Fish, you must first interact with the nearbyFragrant Plant, in order to be able to interact with the fish. The plant is found very close to the actual treasure, so you shouldn’t miss it!
How To Farm Treasure Maps
In order to obtain the maps needed for the Bubble Drifter and Gem Cluster treasures, you must loot three different types of containers:
All of these can drop the maps but at a very low rate.You will likely need to farm hundreds of these containersif you are to loot all of these maps, as they can also drop prerequisites to treasures in other zones.
The earliest container you can loot are the Expedition Scout’s Packs, as it only requires you to haveLevel Two Renown with the Dragonscale Expedition. They are scattered around the entire Dragon Isles, and also contain Dragon Isles Supplies and random items such as Potions and sellable greys.
The next container to unlock isDisturbed Dirt. By far the most prolific, they are likewise found across the entire Dragon Isles, but with a much higher spawn rate than the Packs or Chests. In order to loot the Dirt, you must be in possession of aSmall Expedition Shovel,Sturdy Expedition Shovel,or anExpedition Multi-Toolbox
The last and rarest container you can find maps in are theMagic-Bound Chests. Spawning in every Dragon Isles zone, they are few and between, with some even having specific unlock methods, such as dealing Fire Damage or solving a short puzzle. They often contain slightly better loot than the Packs or Dirt, so they are worth the hassle.
All three containers can also yieldPrimal Chaos, an important crafting reagent, and each one will grant you one or moreDragon Isles Artifacts, which can be turned in to Cataloger Jakes for Dragonscale Expedition reputation. Additional reputation items such asTitan Relicscan be looted from Magic-Bound Chests.
