The Riddle Solved! sack at the end of the arrows

The Tricked-Out Thinking Cap concludes the second day of Secrets of Azeroth. Players must be wearing the  [Tricked-Out Thinking Cap] by using the toy from the Toy Box in order for Fangli to offer this quest.

Objectives

Use the Tricked-Out Thinking Cap to find Fangli's clues, then return to Fangli Hoot.

Description

The cap has an amazing function: Put it on, and you'll know where you're going! Let's practice!

The arrow above me has a clue on it, to another arrow somewhere in Valdrakken. And THAT arrow leads to another...

Follow the arrows until you find them all, and the prize at the end!

Progress

You must wear your cap at all times while contemplating secrets. You never know what frequencies you might tap into, or who might tapping into yours.

Completion

Good work! Now you're a master of thinking!

Notes

Fangli's Clue.

Fangli provides  [A Clue: The Thinking Cap], which reads:

A Clue: The Thinking Cap

Let's put that thinking cap through its paces!

See that arrow above me? No?? Well put on your thinking cap!

Now... there's writing on it if you look real close. And it'll tell you where to find another arrow... in Cogs and Bolts.

Cogs = North and South
Bolts = East and West

Follow the arrows, and after the Eighth Clue you get your prize!

Above Fangli's head is a glowing arrow pointing out of the room toward the Little Scales Daycare, that reads:

Next arrow:

WEST
Where Little Wyrms and Whelps go.
(-24,-2)

At [10.0, 56.3] on the bottom of the bookshelf in the daycare is the First Clue arrow, which reads:

Next arrow:

EAST
Artisan's Market
(28,-6)

Click off the Tricked-Out Thinking Cap and re-equip it to re-calibrate the coordinates, then head to 28,-6, or [29.2, 62.6], near the Leatherworking supplies area of the Artisan's Market to find the Second Clue:

Next Arrow:

EAST
Jeweler's Bench
16,-2

The Third Arrow is at [39.9, 64.4] outside the Jewelcrafting area on top of a bench, where it reads:

Next Arrow:

SOUTHWEST
Alchemist's Bench
(-6, -7)

Southwest near Conflago, the Alchemy trainer, under the Alchemist's Lab Bench, at [36.2, 71.1] is the Fourth Clue:

Next arrow:

NORTHEAST
Above the Auctioneers
(12, 12)

On top of the Auction House at [44.6, 58.6] is the Fifth Clue:

Next arrow:

NORTHWEST
The Blacksmith
(-10, 10)

Outside the Blacksmithing building between the steps and an Obsidian Guardian at [37.8, 49.2] is the Sixth Clue:

Next arrow:

EAST
Seat of the Aspects
(25, 6)

The Seventh Clue is on the ground floor of the Seat of the Aspects at [55.2, 43.1] on the north wall by a brazier:

Your prize!

SOUTHEAST
The Emerald Grotto
(14, -10)

At the base of the waterfall in the Emerald Enclave at [64.6, 53.7] is the Eigth[sic] Clue and the Riddle Solved! sack.

Congratulations!

Grab the treasure below.

Interact with Riddle Solved! to complete the quest objective.

Turning in fulfills the "Thinking Cap" criterion of  [Whodunnit?]. Additionally, Fangli Hoot has new gossip:

Now that you are familiar with the coordinates, you should be ready to find other items in the field. The Cogs and Bolts match up nicely to many ancient coordinate systems.
