Just an aside – none of those locations have the pieces on Maguuma. We found a piece in Wayfarer Hills in a completely different area. :-/ Maybe this is server specific?
hmm interesting
Maguuma server: – pictures of where you can find them on the map –
Diessa: http://i.imgur.com/jIUBXO3.jpg
Wayfarer: http://i.imgur.com/HIhku5n.jpg
ahh rummie thanks! i found it there too <3 And Dulfy, when you add this achievement to your list for the day, it says 6 in total to complete 🙂
The first picture is where I found the wooden block for the kid charr. The second picture is where I found the goblet for Kirk in LA.
Cool thanks, i added them in 🙂
The one in diessa i could find at that spot, but the locations in wayfarer dont contain the objects so i think Rummie is right, Im on whiteside ridge
Definitely looks server specific. On Fort Aspenwood, the Soldier is
located just north of Butcher’s Block waypoint, and the Goblet is
located in Dolyak’s Pass.
On Far Shiverpeaks these 2 items are also in different areas
Same for me on Dzagonur (DE) . The Wooden Soldier Thingy in Diessa Plateau was at an other location, whereas the Chalice in Wayfarer Foothills was on the same location as shown in dulfy’s pics.
It seem like the objects are distributed randomly over the map, found mine at different locations
It seems like the item locations are randomized on servers.
I definitely found both the soldier and the goblet on different spots than the ones marked in these maps.
Interesting, if you can let me know the locations you found them that would be great. Maybe it has a set of spawn points but where they spawn could be randomized per server
Snow covered object seem to have several positions. I found one just south of Solitude Waypoint.
Yeah, the one east of Crossroads Haven in Wayfarer Foothills isn’t showing up. Playing on Tarnished Coast. Might be server specific
Diessa Plateau is wrong according to where I found the toy soldier frame. Directly west of Nageling WayPoint, in front of the rock (left larger set of rocks) above the renown heart.
Just a report, on Sorrows Furnace server, I found the toy solider just to the east of Caravan Wreckage POI in Oldgate clearing in Diessa.
Diessa Plateau is wrong according to where I found the Refugee’s Wooden Soldier. Directly west of Nageling WayPoint, in front of the rock (left
larger set of rocks) above the renown heart. Checked out the spot indicated on this post, nothing is there. Others on map chat have also complained about that.
Thanks, got a pic of it perhaps?
Sorrow’s Furnace
Cool thank you 🙂
Sorrow’s Furnace – sorry the uploader is throwing me off… I had both on the previous comment, only one showed up though QQ
Tier 3 appears to be 6 items returned. The achievement tracker lists the amount collected out of the amount needed for the final tier for me, and not out of the immediate goal.
Locations on Abbadons Mouth:

http://poebel.net/tmp/sshot/gw017.jpg
Awesome thank you
Are there supposed to be 6 items? Where’s the other 4?
Not sure yet
The NPCs in LA must have some clues. There have to be 4 other npcs like the ones we turn the items to, that give us info.
the only other one in the refugee camp with a speech option was the grawl.
The 2 in hoelbrak have some clues, 1 talks about a homestead ( dolyak homestead where we found the first, another about a caravan , no idea where) . Same for black citadel 2 with different clues
If the achievement is at 33% after 2 object, i think are 6 in total.
And to answer Dr Steve Brule question, the other 4 are coming in the next parts of the Living Story.
Thanks for the guide!
These seem to have multiple spawning locations or something? Or maybe it’s different for every server? Because I searched for both things myself before looking at this guide and found them in completley different locations. (Haven’t checked the locations you listed though)
There are a number of fixed spawn locations but which one is active on which server/overflow is random 🙂
Errr – after the patch, the locations of the items on this server changed to be in another location (one that was mentioned on here). Maguuma’s Wayfarer goblet is now found here: http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/gw2-lost-and-found-guide-refugees-goblet-2.jpg
Location of the soldier thingy on Jade Sea
Thank you
I have take goblet (wayfarer) and soldier (diessa) now I change map, I’ll find the object but can’t take it Oo…. anyone have ideas?
Once you take an object, you cannot take it again
and how I can to get another items?
I think right now you can only get 2 items so far. No one has found the 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th items yet
There are only 2 items at the moment. Go to the camp in Lions Arch. Only 2 refugees ask for items and the guardsman even tells you about the snow-and-dirt covered objects in Way or Dess (but does NOT mention any other place).
Sorrow’s Furnace objects changed locations. Diessa Plateau: Location 2 Wayfarer: Can’t find on any of the mapped locations
on Sorrow’s Furnace the Wayfarer one is a little west of #4 right up against the cliff-face
and the one in Diessaa Plateau is a little bit west of #2 again against the cliff face
I have a hunch that food of some kind will be needed for the grawl chieftan (LA), and a note from his friends or something for the charr (Black Citadel). I poked around for the food around maw but found nothing. A refugee with dialog is also missing from Hoelbrak, so might need to find a refugee there: that gets us to 5.
I was thinking the same thing, been through Black Citadel and Hoelbrak real quick, nothing yet. Maybe after the 2nd re-patch?
There is a charr refugee (red armor) with dialog in Black Citadel.
wooden soldier north of butchers block WP on FoW
it is said that they’re losing their things on their way west to LA…
Lornars Pass is between hoelbrak and LA. so there could be something
Here’s another spot for Wayfarer’s. It’s on top of rocks to the east of location #1

Heres another location for the “Dirt Covered Object”. Check the map in the lower right
https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/game/gw2/New-Living-Story-Achievements
You only have 2 missing items to return for now.
“When further phases of the event unlock, and the refugee area in Lion’s Arch grows in size, you will find new people to talk to who may also be missing items.
You will find the lost items in areas where the new Living Story events are spawning in the world, usually near the invader portals or invader vehicles. Note: in the event of a new build or server restart, the locations for the lost items may change.”
thanks, we can all stop looking now 🙂
which server is this for the item catalogued?

fantastic. thank you. and so fast. Same day!
Another location in Diessa Plateau. Found on Kaening.
So even though my Hero LIving Story says “2/3 refugee possessions returned” — I’m done until the next release? Don’t want to spend more time hunting for something other than the goblet and toy soldier if not necessary. Or is it tiered? i.e., once you get two you need three? Thanks for helping.
Yes you are done for now until the next phase, whenever that activates.
Dirt covered object north of Butcher’s Block Waypoint
Found one slightly north of locations #1 and #7 on Wayfarer. http://i.imgur.com/VJOxl8e.jpg
Dirt covered object
ty:)
There will be 2 more patches = 4 items = 6 items in 3 patches.
Actually I think we will get this achievement done before the next patch. So keep an eye out next monday for example. Usually that was when new stuff came out with the last living story
South of [Vendrake’s Homestead Waypoint]
Here
This is where it was on Maguuma 2/27
Cool thanks for the pic
The one on Maguuma was on #5 as of 2/27
[…] it to Lion’s Arch to open up about their story. Each object has multiple spawn points so while a guide is handy, players are going to have to heroically hoof it to get the hidden object. The […]
Damn you’re awesome! I love this site!
I have checked every location on Yak’s Bend, and am yet to find either of these. I have checked several times and still nothing. Probably wasted 3 hours. Is this thing bugged?
I had the same experience on TC, so I got mine by guesting on other servers.
Everything is done,but i got no reward other than achievement, same for everyone ?
Um, you forgot to mention where to turn them in.
No, at the bottom of each item, there is a thingie in bold called Turn in, it has a sentence and two pictures attached with it. Did you miss that?
My bad, just noticed the turn in section at the bottom of each. I would suggest putting this in the general section. 🙂 Sorry about that.
np, thanks for the suggestion. I moved them up a bit so they should be easier to see now 🙂
There’s another one in Wayfarer Foothills, just north of #6:
More one i think. 🙂
New item to turn in on progress bar just wondering if anyones found yet?
Thank you so much, this was really helpful.
I just found another location in Wayfarer Foothills with the snow covered object. South of Dolyak’s Pass Waypoint.
diessa plateau #7 was slightly off for me. i found one at just left of it, south of the renown heart. http://i.imgur.com/ausqfm0.jpg. unsure if it’s #7 being off, or just a totally different location. cheers.
Thank you so much for the info and the pics!
I found another location of dirt covered object, not far from #2 on Diessa Plateau.
I found another location. Just NW of #2 for the Wooden Soldier
Seaferer’s Rest: Based on the screenshots:
Refugee’s Wooden Soldier: #8
Foothills – Refugee’s Goblet: #13
just east of the one you have in your guide, great guides btw they make life easier lol
Nice.
Here another in Dolyak’s Pass. Little more SE of #6.
had trouble with the 1 in diessa but found it thanks to ur map here r the picks from Ruins of Surmia server(EU)
hmm the 2nd pick seems to be lost so putting it here
As of today (March 11), I got a Refugee Swordbelt on a spawn location in Diessa Plateau, I think they unlocked more of possessions to be found
thanks I will check it out 🙂
I haven’t managed to return the two new objects when I give back the belt, the compass has disappeared from my inventory and I can not get the compass in Wayfarer Foothills again.
And I’m still 3/6 on my success.
someone has got the same problem ?
same here, did you find a solution?
I returned the belt before even going to get the compass and now I can’t get the compass at all.
I went back the next day and I was able to retrieve the object again.
So problem solved for me 🙂
Another place:

Afraid I don’t have a screenshot for you at the moment (will see if I can grab one later) but found a new locations in Wayfarer Foothills (this was on the server Piken Square for those interested)
On the map of Wayfarer Foothills that you posted it’s between location #9 and #11, just South of Vendrake’s Homestead on the
west shore of the frozen river. If you’re traveling from the Homestead
it’s right before you reach the trees.
On Isle of Janthir Server I found the Sword Belt on Diessa Plateau near #2 spot by the boulder.
On Wayfarer, I found it in a totally different place than what the map shows for the first object. (I found another spot at # 11 that was clickable but unable to take so that must have been the goblet’s location and I had that one already. This one was up against the cliff where the Savir shoot down just across from location #4 on the map and between the two Savir roadblocks.
As of March 18th on Isle of Janthir server:
The Logbook in Diessa was near #2 just a small bit north and west of where the sword belt is, up on a raised bit of ground.
On Wayfarer the Ship in a bottle is right at #2 east of Easthaven Waypoint on the raised outcrop (dead refugee lying near)
Here’s the location of the compass and sword belt on Blackgate as of March 17. The compass is just southeast of [Vendrake’s Homestead Waypoint] and the sword belt is just southeast of the caravan wreckage (nearest waypoint is [Nolan Waypoint]).
[…] through that area to begin with. There’s a fantastic guide and general information over at Dulfy.net so I won’t get into the specific details, but needless to say I managed to return all four […]
I got 4/6 right now!
You can get 6/6 now 😀
For Tarnished Coast on March 18 before the daily reset, the Ship in a Bottle is in location 1b in Wayfarer, the logbook is in location #7 in Diessa. ,
So I went out to find the two newest items today (ship in a bottle & log book), and while I located them, I got the message, “You had a lost possession, but it’s back with its owner now.” Anyone else run into this a well? I’ve already collected and turned in the other four last week.
saame here 🙁
You might have found the location for the old objects. They are still around and under snow/dirt covered objects. Try and see if you can find another.
Ahh! I got the last four all in the same day, so there were no extras, and I didn’t even think of that. Very true, thanks!
Another one a little southwest of #2 🙂
Found an other location.. 🙂
Another location close to #11 in Wayfarer Foothills
I found another spawn place for the 2nd Diessa Plateau.
http://i.imgur.com/xsbAxG0.jpg
I can also see another object in the distance
Just south of #1 off the cliff. took a little while to find it because every other one was spot on according to your guide (THANK YOU BY THE WAY!)
is it still possible to get item 3 and 4 after u can get item 5 and 6?
Yup, they are just in different locations from 5 and 6
it seems as though theres another location for the
“Diessa Plateau – Refugee’s Sword Belt/Refugee’s Wooden Soldier/Refugee’s Logbook”
Under the cliff by the watch tower
Yeah 5/6.. Barcas not Refugee Fivel took the logbook from me… I want to rant/vent but maybe I just did something wrong….
Refugee Fivel is actually Refugee Barcas in game. I spent way to long searching for Fivel and he is incorrectly named…Even gw2 wiki said Fivel was actually a npc looking for the logbook
You don’t turn in the log book to Fivel, you turn it in to Barcas
Dulfy, you should be proclaimed Tyrian national treasure. Thanks for this!
I think i destroyed one of the items a couple of days ago =(. Does that mean I can’t get it back?
I think you can still get it as long you didn’t hand it in to the NPC
I found 2 here & here…
Location 8 🙂 west of the place on the pic which is in article 🙂

here is anotehr
FOUND MY 6TH PIECE TODAY TO COMPLETE LOST AND FOUND. tHANKS TO EVERYONE FOR POSTING SCREENSHOTS, THEY WERE SUPER HELPFUL
ONCE I FINISH REFUGEE VOLUNTEER THOSE GLOVES ARE MINE
none of these locations helped even the ones in the comments
well the wayfare foothills ones anyways
I found #4 & #5 in Wayfarer Foothills yesterday and also just a few mins. ago.
Does anyone have a clue as to when these items respawn? I found 2 in Wayfarer Foothills yesterday morning and none in Diessa Plateau. I checked again just now (over 24 hours from when I first looked) and it’s still the same 2 in Wayfarer Foothills and none in Dissea Plateau. I also checked all areas yesterday afternoon as well, and it was still the same. Thanks for any help!
I cant find any snow coverd, i have tried to guest on 2 servers but still none 🙁
Dulfy :)thank you very much… I dont know what would I do without your great explanations.. thanks a lot :):):):)
i found 2 around location number 2 1 behind rock and one by heart
Thank you SO much guys. I was pulling my hair out trying to find some of these. Definitely check out some of the alternate locations posted here, as that was where I found ALL of the items in Wayfarer HIlls.
am i still able to collect those items?
Nope
