Every time I see a progress bar this xpac I just cringe...
Me and who knows how may people spent a good 30 minutes hunting around trying to find something alive to kill for 2% on the progress bar.

So far I have gotten 2 percent per mob kill and 4 percent for opening the cages.

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?)

Description

The Drust have inflicted enormous loss on this forest and its denizens, {name}. It is time we put an end to their atrocities. We will drive the Drust from their enclave and close their gateway into Ardenweald. With you as our vanguard, victory is assured. I will make my way into the heart of their camp. Find me once you have routed their forces.

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.
