Take the Theater of Pain flight path and then head straight for the Seat of the Primus until you come across the bridge. Once you cross it the world quest will start. (All coordinates at the bottom)
To destroy [npc=165829] you will need to click the [npc=165827] that are located next to them.
Killing [npc=161376], [npc=161881], [npc=175085], [npc=161399] and [npc=161398] will all give credit for the enemy troops slain.
To kill [npc=161410] you will want to continue straight from where you came from on the bridge and he will be on the raised platform with bones surrounding the front.Coordinate Locations for TomTom/Paste:

If (like me) you were trying (and failing) to be taught where more of the siege artillery was, a lot can be found at 50.88 63.89. The bubble on the minimap is woefully small.
I want my two dollars!
