 * Javier: Garh, you look like a mighty fine adventurer, lad. But perhaps your pockets are a little lighter than you want, eh?

 * Javier: Ye see, lad, me treasure has been lost for quite some time, I kept it in a ocean village named Sarnfic, in a secret room.
 * Javier: Argh, but lad. The village vanished out of nowhere! Like some kind of dark magic! I swears to ye, I tell no lies!
 * Javier: So ye see, in me old age I could use a spot of me lawful gold to see me through me final years.
 * Javier: Don't fret though, chuck, old Javier always kept a back up plan.
 * Javier: I left me old sea fearin' map in me old hideout, it'll tell ye where we can find me old gold.

 * Javier: Argh, yer talented aren't you lad! Many thanks indeed, now we can see where me treasure be buried.
 * Javier: Hrmm, well, garr, blast it all
 * Javier: I canne read me own darn map, lad! What'dya do with it? Scratch off the ink with yer pennies?
 * Javier: Gar, sorry lad. It be the test of time that failed old Javier, not you.
 * Javier: Fear not, lad. There be an old friend of Javier's that can help decipher this old rag.
 * Javier: Go to the old Mage Island, there be a man by the name of Dalben who can restore me map to its former glory. Get it done lad, and bring me treasure back!

Stage 3
» Talk to Dalben on Mage Island about restoring the map

Dialogue:
 * Dalben: What's this? A traveller? How might we assist you?
 * Dalben: Ah, I see, you wish to explore the ocean depths? But for what possible reason?
 * Dalben: This map... How did you acquire it? This is enchanted by our people.
 * Dalben: You... You seek Sarnfic, don't you?
 * Dalben: Alas, that place has history. We, the Mage Council, banished that city long ago to hide the horrific power hidden within a treasure a pirate hid there.
 * Dalben: A pair of boots, made from a black material fashioned from the stone of an evil place, incredibly dark magic. But we do not believe the filthy idiotic pirate knew what he'd found.
 * Dalben: I must say, we, the council regret having to lay waste an entire village over a pair of boots. There was no other way.
 * Dalben: Who knows why he even kept the boots. If he had known about their power, I'm sure he would have used it for evil. But we sense no evil in you, so as such we will aid you in your quest.
 * Dalben: We hope that you will use the boots for good, despite the dark intentions. We will lift the enchantment once lain upon the charts, but it will cost you.
 * Dalben: Give me [5 Emerald Blocks], that should cover the cost.

Stage 4
» Bring back [5 Blocks of Emerald]  to Dalben Dialogue:
 * Dalben: Brilliant. That seems in order. Here you go.
 * Dalben: We only hope that the treasure will never fall into the hands of that pirate again, we'd much rather they fall into yours.
 * Dalben: Well? What does it say? Go to that location! Find the treasure!

Stage 5
» Explore the cave in the ocean, located at [-187, 16, -3452] The fastest way to get to the cave in the ocean is to swim or use a boat from Selchar.

Stage 6
» Find [1 Ocean Treasure] and bring it back to Javier in Pirate Cove

 * Javier: Gnar, you did it lad! Ye brought back old Javiers gold! And as I promised, heres yer share of the loot.
 * Javier: I threw in something extra for ye. It's an old key I salvaged a few years back, from the shipwreck of a legendary pirate.
 * Javier: Who knows what it leads to? Maybe a treasure hoard, or maybe the ol' swashbuckler wanted to lead someone into a trap.
 * Javier: Me bones are too old for a grand adventure like that, guess ye'll have to figure it out for yerself.

Tips

 * Have the 5 Emerald Blocks with you before visiting Dalben, to avoid making two trips.
 * Bring an Emerald Block before entering the cave, as it is required to open up the passage to the map.
 * After talking to Dalben at Stage 5, it is faster to buy a Selchar boat pass (or use a teleport scroll) and swim/boat to Sarnfic, instead of starting from Mage Island.
 * The Treasure Guardian will attempt to shoot Arrow Storms at you and push you into the lava on the edges of the arena. You can utilize the four pillars in the arena to counter these attacks, either to block an Arrow Storm by getting behind one, or to stop a Push from throwing you into the lava by standing in front of one.

Trivia

 * Despite you having to use 384 emeralds or 6 emerald blocks combined in stages 2 and 5, the quest only rewards you with 1 emerald, meaning you lose at least 383 emeralds from it.
 * If you have already completed the quest The Order of the Grook, there is a Magic Portal entrance in Pirate Cove located at [-675, 35, -3140] to quickly travel to Mage Island during Stage 4.
 * If you spam-click at Stage 5, Dalben will say that he wants 20 emerald blocks instead of 5 and it will be written at your questbook too. However, this is just a joke, if you have only 5 emerald blocks in your inventory, he will accept it.
