You have to bring [item=4801]x100 to [npc=98948]. If you have Skinning it will give you additional claws when mob is skinned. Best spot to obtain it is near Nesingwary Exp at 40.8, 50.5.
Reward is [spell=194703], [spell=194704].

A quick note for anyone who, like me, was incredibly confused why this quest wasn't available:

You have to do both the leather quests in Stormheim AND the mail quests in Val'Sharah in order to advance the leatherworking quest chain. Wowhead doesn't show it as a chain, but it definitely is.

Just as a time saving note to those who , like me, may happen to notice that Moonwhisper Stalkers in Suramar show as dropping this item. Suramar showed up on quest tracking as well as mousing over these mobs. After killing around 25 of these mobs, it became clear that they do not drop off the Moonwhisper Stalkers, or, if they do, its a god awful drop rate. As stated by QuidProbono above, near Nesingwary is the best spot.

Description

Personal experience has taught me to use stronger materials when crafting armor pieces. They last longer, and you don't need quite as many of them. For example, I utilize the claws of the pinerock stalkers. If you acquire some for me, perhaps I can show you how better materials can increase your efficiency.

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Stamped StoriesLevel 10-45

    Stamped onto the leather of the tanning racks behind me are the ancient ways of our tribe's leatherworkers. They tell the stories of masters who, through perseverance - and luck, in some cases - pioneered our way of leatherworking. Read the stories and learn from them.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Getting the Kinks OutLevel 10-45

    Now listen, lad. Everything ye make can always be done better. I just haven't quite worked out the way to do it with these fancy new scales. Perhaps that ghost-like elf friend of yours can help ye. An' if she DOES know somethin', perhaps ye can relay that information back to us.
