This world quest just showed up in EU. Far as I can tell it's hunter specific, and you actually use your Flare ability to finish it. Red arrows will appear slightly above ground to indicate where to Flare. Rewards 2-4x more AP than other world quests.
I'm assuming other classes have similar WQ's.
I can't see any red arrows to flare anywhere. I've killed the needed amount of dogs, but have yet to see an arrow in the quest area.
I'm having a phasing issue trying to do this quest. I got the first three locations, but for the last two, whenever I get close to the arrows, they disappear. Not sure what to do about it.
Edit: apparently if you wait long enough, the first few locations you flared will spawn again, so you can just use flare on them again.
