Silver of the Waves Quest in WoW Forever: Toolbox and Turn-In
Silver of the Waves is an Alliance quest in World of Warcraft: Forever (WoW Forever): you find a Discarded Fishing Toolbox underwater in Loch Modan, take the monogrammed silver hair clip from it and return it to Khara Deepwater for 1,550 XP and 100 Ironforge reputation. Wowhead lists it as level 20 and says it requires level 13, as of November 9, 2026.
Quick answer: Swim the Loch and look for the quest marker on the underwater Discarded Fishing Toolbox (players list several spots, such as 48.9, 54.2 and 45.6, 43.4). Take the hair clip to Khara Deepwater at the fishing dock outside Thelsamar (a player says 39.5, 39.3).
Key facts

Where do you start Silver of the Waves?
At a Discarded Fishing Toolbox, not an NPC. Wowhead's quest text describes rusty hooks, broken wire spools and a corroded silver hair clip monogrammed "K.D." A player says the toolbox sits in a wrecked wooden boat at the bottom of the lake near its southern end, with a Battered Chest at the same spot. Read the Loch Modan guide for the zone.
Where is the toolbox?
Players report that it moves. One commenter (September 20, edited September 27) lists 45.6, 43.4, 48.9, 54.2, 48, 40 and 50.5, 53, and notes some are unconfirmed. Others confirm 45.6, 43.4, 50.5, 53 and 48, 40. One says you can see the quest marker from the surface if you swim around enough. Another waited 25 minutes at a spot where only the chest was present. Treat the coordinates as spawn points to check in turn.
Where is Khara Deepwater?
The Warcraft Wiki puts her on the western bank of the Loch in Loch Modan, and lists Silver of the Waves under her Forever quests. A player gives 39.5, 39.3 at the fishing dock outside Thelsamar. For fishing more broadly, see the cooking, fishing and first aid guide.
What does Silver of the Waves give?
Wowhead lists 1,550 experience, 100 reputation with Ironforge, a Repurposed Hair Band and a small coin amount whose unit is not clear in the text I read.
What is not confirmed yet
- Human players: Wowhead's race list leaves Humans out, but one commenter says it works for a human
- Toolbox spawns: the full list of locations is player-collected
- Danger: a player looted the chest at level 13 without pulling the level 19 to 20 threshadons; that is one report
- Follow-ups: none found in the pages I opened
Can the Lore Forever add-on and Willo help with Silver of the Waves?
The free Lore Forever add-on has a Lore button on the quest dialog and quest log that opens a quest's story. It is fan-made, not affiliated with Blizzard, has no internet access, and its narration uses generated voices. Ask Willo out loud ("where is the fishing toolbox in Loch Modan") while you play. Willo is free to start (50 answers a day) and is a separate companion app for Windows 10 or 11 and Apple Silicon Macs (macOS 12 or later), per her page; the Lore Forever FAQ says Windows and Mac, though CurseForge still calls her a Windows app. She can be wrong and is not official, so the in-game quest text and Blizzard's pages are the source of truth.
