TheWoWDBYou turn this in at Master Leatherworker Enstraa located on the lower deck of the Vindicaar. I picked this one up and took so long to grind the Lightweave Cloth I forgot where I picked it up. Hope this helps.

Don't panic if the patterns don't appear immediatly in your craft after completing the quest. I had to logout-login to get them.
Don't drive yourself nuts looking for Enstraa's Tanning Oil as an object either in your bags or in the world; it's a quest item that displays solely as a use icon in your quest HUD. Make sure you're tracking the quest, then use the small icon displayed by the quest name and objective. You will need 12 Fiendish Leather and 12 Lightweave Cloth to complete.

Description
In the past, I was able to make glorious items from the beasts of this land. But then the Legion came and wiped out all those amazing beasts. Now I'm forced to use their polluted hides to craft armor for my allies. I have, however, found a way to remove their taint. The cloth we use is made from special thread infused with Light energy. I devised an oil which when combined with the cloth purifies the leather and makes it usable. Here, take my oil and see for yourself.
