The chest is in old barn now abandoned and devour by shadow course south of Last-Light Inn. If you follow the path next to the river you will easly find it.
The Chest is on the top wooden platform behind the barn (X: – 58 Y: 7). It’s locked so you will need someone with high enough strength to jump on the platform and pass 15 DC Dexterity skill check to unlock the Potter’s Chest.
