To start this quest, you'll need to read the note that's on the board in Wharf Crossing North. This will lead you on a treasure hunt to find a hidden hoard somewhere in the city.

Find the Notes Around Dock Town

To find the treasure, you'll need to follow a series of notes that are scattered around the city. There's a total of three notes you need to read before you're given the location of the treasure hoard and a Heavy Bronze Key.
