Hi, and welcome.
Usually there should be a description of where the thing you're looking for is in the Quest Log, eg East of [well-known location]. Otherwise you'll have to ask in advice or ask people around if they've seen your target, there's no way to find them using the map (apart from following directions) The mini-map should show important NPCs as a Ring, so if you spot one while wandering around the area go check it out. Have floating names on (toggle with N) too, helps to spot things like that satchel

Greetings Davon!

Another resource, if you are not hugely keen on finding your objectives yourself, is this map:

http://mehq.net/dynmap/index.php

It shows the locations even of satchels, so your doom is not written in the stars. Though often I find /advice can be quicker even than tabbing out and looking at the map, depending on the number of players in your area.

Have fun!

I recall that quest - one other thing to look at is that quest items glow or pulse slightly, which should make it slightly easier to see the satchel.
