Was not immediately added to my toy box after learning it. Had to relog for it to show.

For hunting down clues (the arrows):
They give you a vague direction and coordinates, when you click on them. e.g: EAST (16,-2)
You can the re-equip the Thinking Cap (use the toy again) to calibrate it to (0,0) and when you mouseover the buff of the cap, you can see, where you are right now.
First number is: West(-) / East (+)
Second Number is North(+) / South (-)

So (16,-2) is 16 to the east and 2 to the south.

It is fairly easy to find all the arrows then.

Hope this helps :-)

Locations of the arrows for the lazy ones:

First Clue: 26.6 54.1 at the wall near Fangli Hoot
Second Clue: 10.0, 56.3 on the floor in front of a bookshelf
Third Clue: 39.9, 64.5 on a create
Fifth Clue: 36.2, 71.2 on the floor in front of the Alchemist's Lab Bench
Sixth Clue: 44.1, 58,8 on the roof of the AH
Seventh Clue: 38.0, 49.2 On the floor near the Obsidian Guardian
Eight Clue: 55.2, 43.3 enter of the Seat of the Aspects → at the first fire on the left side
Last Clue: 64.7, 53.7 beneath the waterfall

You can go straight to the last one, if you want

You will need to gather the following items from different NPCs around the Dragon Isles in order to form the Tricket-Out Thinking Cap:

1. Thought Calculating Apparatus
EDIT: You can directly purchase 5xThunderspine Nest from the AH instead of doing the gathering part below.
First, talk to Erugosa at The Roasted Ram to obtain a Thunderspine Shopping Nest List. Next you will need to procure 5 of each of the following items:

5x Apexis Asiago from Gorgonzormu in Valdrakken.
5x Thunderspine Tenders from Agyrahl the Butcher in Ohn'ahran Plains.
5x Latticed Stinkhorn from Sniktak in Loamm (Zaralek Caverns).

Once you have all the materials, go back to Valdrakken and talk to Erugosa and this time ask her to make you some Thunderspine Nest.

Now go talk to Clinkyclick Shatterboom (the engineering trainer) in Valdrakken and she will give you the Thought Calculating Apparatus.

2. Downy Helmet Liner
This one is pretty straight forward. Go to The Cascades in Thaldraszus (39 66 seems like a good spot) and kill the Hungering Tyranha until you get a Fresh Tyranha.

Now go back to Clinkyclick Shatterboom and talk to Gryffin to obtain a Downy Helmet Liner.

3. Crystal Ocular Lenses
Go to The Roaster Ram inn in Valdrakken, target the Odd Statue and /bow.

You will be teleported to Dragon's Hoard, a secret inn. Talk to Kritha the Barkeep and accept to pay the tab for Shakey (you will be prompted to pay something like 340g).

Once done, go back outside (simply run through the door at the opposite side of the room and you will be teleported back to The Roasted Ram) and talk to Shakey Flatlap (the jewelcrafting supplies vendor). Upon learning that his tab has been paid, he will give you the Crystal Ocular Lenses.

Final Step
Once you have all 3 items, simple click on the Thought Calculating Apparatus and you will form the Unfinished Thinking Cap, offering you the quest Unfinished thinking cap.

Go to the building to the left of the Barber Shop and talk to Fangli Hoot (26 53 Valdrakken) and complete the quest. Congratulations, you are now the proud owner of a Tricket-Out Thinking Cap!

When you pick up the treasure at the waterfall, it doesn't actually give you an item. You need to go back to Fangli and turn in the quest to get credit.

Hope other's will find it helpful as well

Comment by JElmore

Assuming the Cap works outside of the Secrets of Azeroth event, people could have fun making up scavenger hunts using the coordinate system. Like "Start at the AH in Stormwind, go to 23, -15, and take a screenshot of the statue."

I wouldn't be surprised to see Blizzard use the Cap for future easter eggs—though if they do, they need to make it available for people outside of the event.

The thinking cap, torch and all the other toys that are part of this event don't seem to allow you to turn them off. Is it possible?
