So right now in the beta the quest text isn't the most helpful thing out there. Here's what you need to do:

You need to fly (either using [item=174042], which is a drop from the enemies in the area, or clicking on [object=349383]. Then just use double jump to enable flying)

Fly up and grab the [item=174078] from the baskets hanging up in the air

Use the [item=174078] on the altars

Hopefully that clears it up!
Edit: added mention of faerie dust source

You need to pickup wings from [object=349383](or [item=174042]) and fly to their hanging nests (looking like half of coconut) where you find [item=174078] necessary to destroy the altars.

Description

I've seen the ritual. It's... terrifying. But the altars seem to be the key. If only I had my pyrotechnic powder, I could blast them to bits! <Primrose is silent for a moment, then takes a deep breath.> If you could get the powder and guard me, we could blow up those altars. I stashed as much as I could in our dwellings. They don't seem to care any more. You don't have wings, but a pinch of faerie dust should work for a short time. Let's do this before I change my mind!

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.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Wake Up, Get Up, Get Out ThereArdenweald · Level 10-57
They need your help! Not all of the faeries have been turned yet. Some remain prisoner, but they have these masks on their faces.... You've got to help them! I'm not strong enough to pry off the masks, but you could! You could stop the guards from getting us too!
