Filled Containment Coffer
Chest of Containment Coffers
Cantation of ManifestationDescription
A disturbance has been reported at the Blue Recluse tavern in the Mage Quarter. Strange, invisible creatures now wander the tavern, and I fear a mana rift has formed there.
I want you to investigate the tavern and capture those creatures. Use the cantation of manifestation in the tavern to make the creatures visible, subdue them then use a containment coffer to capture them. When you have enough, return to me with your filled coffers, your empty coffers and the cantation.
Progress
Have you captured the creatures, <name>? They must be studied in order to determine the reason behind their arrival.
Completion
Very well done! I will study these creatures and, with diligence and luck, determine how they slipped into our world.
Your value to the society of mages grows, <name>.
Additional Notes
When quest is accepted, get 2 items behind her on the desk.
item 1) Chest of Containment item 2) Cantation of Manifestation
Get out of the building where mage trainers are. And head to the Inn where is right next to the mage training building. The inn name in mage quarter is "The blue Recluse".
Once you get in, on the back corner of right side, you can find a cook/butcher in the kitchen area. Then there is a stair to the basement.
Ok. now you are in the right place to summon the ghost. step 1) click on to summon the ghost. step 2) battle with the ghost and attack until its health is almost zero(0). step 3) Use Frost Nova to hold the ghost when its health is almost zero. step 4) Click on the < Chest of Containment > item to suck the ghost into the box. step 5) Wait.... Until everything is automatically done. (some type of animation. ghost will stop attacking u and stunned which is a process to capture into the ) step 6) Then you can find a weird looking box on the floor, then click on it. it will get you have .
step 7) you just captured one box. Wait a while to give the system to spawn the ghost.(you can't see it, but if u try to use right after killing a ghost, nothing will happen. Let's give 2-3 mins until it's respawned.
c.f.)
In step 3) Use Frost Nova for your convenience before using to suck the ghost in.(Like the Ghost Busters movie). --> but using frost nova is option, I think. But it's convenient to hold the body so the ghost won't attack u while u are opening the box to suck the ghost in.
In step 7) If you can't wait till the ghost spawn, then get out of the basement, and go upstairs over the pub in the inn.(sort of 2nd floor of the Inn/Pub)

Go into the inn and use arcane explosion (In my case there came two ghosts)
I ran outside till they gave up and after it i went back and they where still waiting for me without attacking me, but not together.
Then attack 1 ghost with Frost Nova and fight it with what ever spell till it give up and then click the box
The 3rd one was in the kitchen for me

Thanks for saving me quite a bit of time, Foereaper!
The rest of the advice is sound. Don't worry about casting the catation - just use an AoE in the kitchen, the basement and the loft area. Then kill it, catch it, done.
Those containers so remind me of the ghost traps from ghostbusters.

Everyone has photographic memory; some just don't have the film.
I'd just turned lvl 16 and was able to finish this pretty easily (but as was said, if you agg more than one, high-tail it out of there and come back)

To my knowledge, Frost Nova DOES NOT have to be the finishing blow.
It seems that 2 or 3 always spawn in the front, but only 1 spawns in either the upstairs or the basement. So if you avoid the front and only do it upstairs and in the basement you seemingly should only have to deal with one at a time.
Where find us?
DO NOT post a million times how you solo'd this quest/mob at lvl 1 and you're the best. Or repost the coords from the previous post, so that later when I come back to find the coords and exact quest info I have to skim through your BS. If you want to say ONE TIME "confirmed coords" or "was able to solo at lvl# " Cool just don't post it if its already freaking been posted one or two times!!
Where find us?
p.s. I buy bridges too
it says "can't open it"
Do I need some key or something else?
Does someone know the answer on this problem?
Go to the Blue Recluse Tavern which is near the bottom of the ramp from the mage tower in Stormwind.
Ues the scroll and 3 elemental looking creatures will pop up. I used the scroll upstairs over the bar and 2 spawned there and 1 down below.
Kill one using whatever means you find appropriate. I fireballed mine. They die.
As soon as they die, have the box on your quick bar and use it. The box gets tossed ala Ghostbusters.
Use the thrown box. Watch animation. Use box again and you get 1 of the filled chests.

Perhaps they have fixed it in the last patch?
- Get the mob to around 5-6% (find the % by hovering your mouse over it's green health bar)
- KILL THE MOB ONCE IT IS AT 5-6% with FROST NOVA
- Immediately spring your trap, you should notice a red cyclone this time
- After the container is on the ground (DO NOT TOUCH IT BEFORE THIS) and the mob is gone, right click like you're using herbalism or whatever
Bingo, do this 3 times and you're off to the Loch on your next quest for your robe.

At least one of my 3 successful captures, i hit frost nova, still took a hit to stun it, but managed to spring trap in time.

1. Last shot must be frost nova
2. back up a few feet then click coffer while circle under spawn is still yellow
3. Wait until after spawn is sucked in before attempting to click on the coffer.
The backing up seems to be necessary.

And I just did it last night after reading about how bugged this quest was. HERE IS THE SOLUTION!!!!!
As you are beating the rift spawn into submission, make sure that the FINAL BLOW DEALT is a FROST NOVA. Once you activate the Collection Coffer on him, you will see a RED whirlpool form and the COFFER will remain on the ground after the rift spawn has disappeared. Then open the "kicking" coffer like you would a Chest. Inside will be the Filled Containment Coffer.
REMEMBER! F R O S T N O V A is the key.
Someone found a workaround and it did work for me.

I got the quest at level 15.
The two required items are on the table behind
Jennea Cannon. One is a chest, and the other a
scroll. Make sure pick up both.
When you get to the tavern activate the
Cantation of Manifestation near the skeleton
near the entrance. You will see the ghosts
(it looks like an elemental) around the building.
They don't aggro and the ones I saw were levels
16-17. Kill them in normal combat.
Once they are down to 0 hp, they will sit there.
Activate the Chest of Containment Coffers. A
box will form beneath the mob and 'suck it in'.
You can then open that box and remove a filled
containment coffer which goes into your
inventory.
Not that you can't activate the Chest of
Containment Coffers from your hotkeys. You have
to do it from your open inventory. I failed to
capture the first one due to this.
I ran around the building to find these guys
(including one in the basement), so keep looking.
I also set off the Cantation of Manifestation
a few times. I don't know if it helped, but it
didn't hurt.
I find this less than fun.
UPDATE: by carefully reading ALL the suggestions and confining my battles to the basement, the kitchen, and the balcony (where only singles appear), I was able to finish this quest in about three minutes.
Okay, now THAT was a lot more fun! Thanks to everyone for all the help.
