Quest is garbage. The entire river is phased so as soon as you step into the water to kill the Jacunda they phase out. Found 2 fish that wouldn't phase at the mouth of the river. I'm not sure what quest or event I need to complete to get the area to stop phasing but this is ridiculous blizzard.

Breaking The Food Chain quest can be started in Zuldazar from [npc=122704] herbalism trainer.
I was able to take it after 145 profession skill.

You need to kill 12 Ravenous Jacunda fish NPCs in the river/pools.
The closest location is behind the questgiver and all the way south to the Grand Bazaar.

Description

De extra riverbud you planted has helped, but it has not been enough. Some of de local beasts are consuming de riverbud before dey can mature. We need dese plants to germinate, or we could risk losing it entirely. The largest group of young riverbud consumers are de jacunda. If we are going to give de riverbud a chance to survive dis, you will need to thin their numbers. Do dat and I will teach you everything I know about riverbud.

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.
