Don't do like me and kill the Primalist Taurens for the Vacant Elemental Core..
Kill the elementals, (Crumbling Scoria), instead, seems to be higher droprate and are way faster to kill, (and much less annoying!).

Description

Our situation is less than ideal, we will have to improvise. I can conduct flame to earth to create magma. Shadowflame could behave similarly. The Primalists are summoning earth elementals nearby. If we extract their cores, I can use them to contain the shadowflame infecting Sabellian's burn. The Zaqali's totems should already be attuned to the elements here. It will make the siphoning process much more efficient. Sabellian will need to come with us. I must keep an eye on him--for his sake.

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.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • ConsequencesZaralek Cavern · Level 10-80

    Shadowflame... Did Iridikron know this was here? Did he corrupt his brother? Or has Fyrakk fallen to the temptation? Only ignorance or arrogance tempts fools to seek it out, believing they can master dark forces that not even Neltharion could.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Rushing QualityZaralek Cavern · Level 10-80

    Look ahead! The djaradin have cleared away from the northeastern side of the caldera to augment their forces near the elders. There is an altar bordering the lava pool that appears safe for now. We can set up our spell components there. Let us hurry before the djaradin return.
