If you're like me and couldn't figure out what to do at the indicated locations, it may be because there's a low-level dragonkin/person standing on top of the crystal (on the ground). Go to the center of the platform and you should be able to right click on a void-thingie floating there (you may accidentally melee the mob... no issue, you'll one-shot him).

Description

You have the power you need to destroy the Surge Needles. At the location of the breaches where the Surge Needles pierce the ground, there will be a large concentration of void energy. Focus the power of Aluneth into these points. The reaction should cause an overload, destroying the Surge Needle above. You must act quickly. The Ethereum won't sit idly by as you lay waste to their machinations.

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.

  • Harnessing the ArcaneLevel 10-45

    The energy from Aluneth lashes out from within the weakened Nexus Vault. We may be able to use this raw, chaotic energy to our advantage. If we can harness this energy and feed it into the Surge Needles, it should cause a rather... destructive reaction.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Nexus VaultLevel 10-45

    If the Ethereum managed to capture Azuregos, then they are more powerful than I imagined. We have not always seen eye to eye, Azuregos and I, but he is still my kin. Since you seek to put an end to the ethereals and claim Aluneth, I ask that you also free my brother from their grip.

Aluneth, Greatstaff of the Magna has 7 steps, from Aluneth, Greatstaff of the Magna to The Nexus Vault.
