Look at the objectives listed above. Each line shows how many times you'd need to complete this action (kill or object) to fill the bar.

Obviously, Foul Crushers and the Capture Points should be your top priority, especially in a group or with other players around.

Edit: Did this quest myself now. Killed one mob, then started a Capture Point. After that one, I was at 98%... (I was in a group with a friend, though, maybe it counted double?)
