Description

So, after some extensive research, and testing myself; I've discovered that this quest won't appear until you have 150 skill in a Kul'Tiran CRAFTING profession.

So, after looking for days, I found info in this wowhead guide Comprehensive Nazjatar Guide:
This questline will only show up if you're an Alchemist, Blacksmith, Jewelcrafter, Leatherworker, Engineer or Tailor at 150 Kul Tiran/Zandalar skill level or more.
hopefully this helps clear up a lot of questions, and should have been added already to this page.
