Check for the Image of Mimiron NPC at the base of the bottom of the ramp to the Dalaran portal in Trueshot Lodge once you hit 110. You must speak to him first, going through a few dialogue options, before the quest will appear.
You will not see a quest marker when he first appears in your Hall, you must talk to him to trigger it.

This quest is available to Beast Mastery hunters and is given by Image of Mimiron at Trueshot Lodge. It requires you to kill specific enemies to obtain components for the [item=138393]. The items needed and enemies are listed below;
Stormy Gland - Squallhunter([npc=107455]Adult Squallhunter[npc=107258]), Stormheim
Pristine Harpy Feathers - Stoneblood Harpy ([npc=91122][npc=94207]), Val'Sharah
Reflective Scales - Hatecoil Naga ([npc=88087]), Azsuna
Essence of Pure Spirit - Seabound Mystics ([npc=102231]), HighmountainGetting the items is a matter of kill until it drops. I spent a while killing enemies thinking there was something I was missing because the item wasn't dropping, but it turns out it is just a low drop rate. Just keep killing until you get it.
Disgracefully bad quest that Blizzard should be ashamed of.
The problem lies with the Essence of Pure Spirit. Firstly it only drops off Seabound Mystics which in themselves only have a CHANCE of being in the zone at any particular hour. Unless you are stupidly lucky or resort to server hopping, good luck even seeing one.Next the drop rate of the Essence even after you find a Mystic must be around 1% because I killed the best part of a hundred before mine dropped. All of this is compounded by a zone choked with useless mobs every two steps that make even exploring it a pain in the ass.
All in all I am at a loss how this made it to beta let alone live. I almost want hold up a doll and ask Blizzard where the Hunter touched them inappropriately. That's the only logical explanation for a quest this sadistic.

I have been experimenting with technology that allows you to alter the structure of beasts, specifically with how they look.
