Walkthrough
If you have the Treasure Hunter's Diary (purchased from certain Merchants) on you when talking to the Sea Collector, you will have the dialogue option "Give the Journal". He will tell you the following:In order to acquire the Ancient Treasure Instructions he mentions, you'll need to find both an Ancient Burial Cloth and an Embalming Agent. The Burial Cloth has a chance to be looted from Ancient Sarcophagus found on Ancient Islands. The Embalming Agent can be found in Bronze Lockboxes found in graves beneath tombstones. If you have already a Bronze Lockboxe, then immediately after taking this quest, you can open it and it will drop the Embalming Agent.

Once you have acquired both, craft them together in order to create the Ancient Treasure Instructions. Then, you need to give the Ancient Treasure Instructions to a Sea Scholar, as hinted in the Ancient Treasure Instruction's description.
