Don't forget (as I did) to collect Gatamatos from his pedestal at Forgefire Outpost to validate the Etherwyrm kills.
Kill the 8 mobs required. It doesn't change the x / 8, but the kills still count.

What to do
Description
Our phalynx units excel in combat. They are thoroughly trained in taking foes down by the legs, as well as hunting down beasts gone awry. I need you to take stock of Gatamatos's fighting routines. Take him into the cavern below and practice his combat against the wyrms there.

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.

After this quest
