TheWoWDBThe clickable Opals only appear to be inside the Opalcreg cave. I tried going outside to find more but I didn't see any on the ground to click on. I got stuck at 4/8. Found one hiding in one of the green grassy areas with a pool of water which brought me up to 5/8.
Edit: I didn't realize you can also kill the Nerubians inside the cave for the remaining Opals - I was able to get the remaining 3 I needed to complete the quest via killing mobs.

I found it very hard to get back up out of the mine. Look for a passage to the left of where the rare is hiding in the ground.

Description
I'll be direct with you. We have a goal here and those opals are the center of it. No one will leave until we get the job done, the opals are too important. If you could gather enough ore, we could convince them to leave. But be careful, those nerubians are dangerous.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Web Beats Rock
So, Foreman Alvegar sent you? That explains it. The situation is not great. This place is crawling with nerubians and they're showing us no mercy. They forced us to mine and took our hard-earned opals. When you disobey, they web you up. I was barely able to escape them when they came. The others...
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Sedimental Moment
Some have started to evacuate, but there's a stubborn few that just won't let go. Could you say something? Maybe an outsider's perspective will get them moving.
