I somehow missed picking up this quest from Elder Finnan either during (or after?) The Sweat of Our Brow, and then later had to figure out where I left off on the Tricky Spriggans section of Sojourner of Ardenweald. Elder Finnan is located inside a hollowed out tree (with a ramp leading up to it) at /way 55.81, 23.49. Just in case anyone else missed picking up the quest like I did!

What to do
Description
Oh, I am quite all right! There's just one little thing.... One of these fiends made off with my lucky mallet! I simply cannot leave my mallet behind. I do not even use it much any more, but it is quite lucky and I always keep it with me. Please, I cannot even think about building anything without it. Do keep an eye out for it, will you?

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.
- The Sweat of Our Brow
Ah, an outsider! You are perfect for this task. The spriggans are known for their mischief. They have been cursing our tools and supplies and trapping unsuspecting workers! Like our curses, they must obey the rules.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Spirit-Gathering Labor
You are not like the others. The waters here carry deep power. Power most have forgotten. But the tirnenn forget very little. Power flows through the earth just as water flows with power. Flows can be trapped for a time, dripping. Drop by drop they drip into vessels.
