Zerik, who starts the quest line, is in a cave, which means you have to find the opening to the cave. If you use his coordinates, you just stand on top of nothing.

Begin phase-in quest chain CAVE ENTRANCE 46.0, 53.7 in Dread Wastes (see screen shot if you need a map).

Go inside, he gives you two quests to complete. Complete those quests, you get the tuning fork quest. Voila.

All the other comments did nothing to get me where I needed to go.

So, for other fellow completionists... I was trying to get this quest variant yesterday with no luck. From what I gathered, there are 2 variants of several quests.

First you want to start regular zone quest chain, starting with Falling Down.
You continue Dread Wastes quest chain until you stumble upon Extending Our Coverage offered by Kor'ik. At this point, you would normally follow quest chain with Kor'ik as your questgiver. This is version what 99% of players does:

Extending Our Coverage (variant A)
Crime and Punishment (variant A)
Better With Age (variant A)
By the Sea, Nevermore (variant A)

If you want to unlock alternative quest chain (quest objectives are the same, but quest ID differs) then DO NOT ACCEPT Extending Our Coverage from Kor'ik. Instead, you have to finish Dropping Our Signal and follow-up Corruption Runs Deep. In this quest Kor'ik, your quest giver turns traitor and is killed. After completing this quest, there is different quest chain offered by new quest giver Zer'ik.

Extending Our Coverage (variant B)
Crime and Punishment (variant B)
Better With Age (variant B)
By the Sea, Nevermore (variant B) -YOU ARE HERE-

However for some reason, even that I did first 3 quests on variant B, my last quest offered was By the Sea, nevermore (variant A). Not sure if I misunderstood principles I described above, or quest is bugged and By the Sea, Nevermore (variant B) is currently impossible to complete. If you found the way to pop this quest, please share your experiences below! Hope this helps someone at least for first 3 quests.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Better With AgeDread Wastes · Level 30-35

    It is a crime to harvest the young trees, but a much bigger crime to waste the amber. Young amber is not as strong, but the Klaxxi need it to continue the fight. We will bring them more and they will sing my praises! Gather the young amber. We will store it until it is aged and can be consumed.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • ReunitedDread Wastes · Level 30-35

    You look at me and see I am no great warrior. Why was I chosen to be a Paragon? Not all weapons can be seen, Wakener. One should not judge by appearance alone. Before I explain further, I need to know that you are trustworthy. Something precious to me was hidden at the time of my preservation.
