TheWoWDBI went to this location on the map, and there was no quest. I minimized to look it up, and when I brought the game back up, there was a quest giver with the quest. I did it but no follow up. A few minutes later, I realized that another ! on the map for "Scholarly Pursuits" was also missing, and this quest is supposedly the breadcrumb for bigger beast. I don't think I can complete this side quest atm bc I did the second step first, but it could be something else. Will update if i figure it out.
edit: i just wanted to add i did the breadcrumb on an alt, did the follow beast quest, and still no wo way to proceed

they really need to stop adding breadcrumbs. at this point its just to spite completionists.
I'm having the same issue, can't seem to find any quest for Scholarly Pursuits or the next in the chain, Sampling the Local Fare.
That is every comment on this page.

Description
Return to Umbric? But we're on the brink of deeper understandings! Hypothesis: there exists an apex predator amongst these creatures that might hold immense power! And this predator's relationship with the Void could further our own understanding of the infinite darkness. Eradicate some of the smaller creatures and see if such a beast answers the call of violence!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Scholarly Pursuits
<name>... a favor. My research partner Matrean and I are studying the local wildlife and their relationship to the Void. I've concluded my findings, but Matrean--reckless and obsessive as ever--insists there is more to discover. Can you help convince him to return here?
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Sampling the Local Fare
This place is a food chain of ferocity and far too many teeth. Our studies grow more dangerous by the minute, but if Matrean insists on staying, we may as well assist him. We're studying a link between the nature of these creatures and the Void's accumulation here.
