For any old players who can't see the NPC, I found a modern work around I used to fix the problem. Simply level sync with someone in the area and rework through the quest chain. I flew my little buddy all around for an hour until we got to the part in the chain, and there she was! Did the quests, and as far as I can tell from my 2 trackers and the giant exclamation no longer on my map, the quest has been finished. Unfortunately Blizzard in 2020 has yet to fix this issue, but the sync looks like a real work around!

What to do

StorylineFeralas, step 50 of 68

Rewards10g 50s, 4,100 XP

Description

You must be careful when you venture forth. Other spirits are bound to this place, malevolent and hateful ones. They've all suffered so much. None of what they used to be remains, only suffering and a will to live. We will need that will to summon the overlord that keeps me bound here. Please, gather the essence of the spirits, and bring it back to me.

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.

The Darkmist LegacyFeralas · Level 15-30
I am chained to this place...it takes so much effort just to speak to you. I can barely maintain this shape. I could help you, but please, help me pull myself together first. Once I'm more focused on this plane, I should be able to do it...

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Verinias the TwistedFeralas · Level 15-30
The other spirits and I are bound here by a cruel demon named Verinias. He is our captor, a twisted, mindless beast who devours our souls over millennia. The lure of the souls and arcane magic you've brought me should let you draw him out.
