This quest takes place entirely in the Darkheart Thicket dungeon. The ring itself actually drops from Shade of Xavius, and not the druids as i assumed it would. You can do this on either Normal or Heroic difficulty, and probably mythic as well.
The container had Felslate x20 and Leystone Ore x20 when I opened it.

Description
I was not the only miner in my family. I was the youngest of four sisters. I say "was" because the other three are gone. Two of them went too far. They overloaded their bodies with felslate and succumbed to the will of Sargeras. They are more demon than elf, now. The third, I have not heard from in quite some time. The last I heard, she was investigating the Darkheart Thicket. I fear she may have fallen, too - one way or the other.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Shred of Your Humanity
To mine for felslate is to seek the very blood of demons. To improve at it, you must become part demon yourself. Why the dirty look? You said it yourself: you're willing to make sacrifices. Luckily for you, I'm an expert in this area. I won't put you in any danger, as long as you trust me.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Rin'thissa's Eye
Oddly enveloped within the felslate deposit is a humanoid eye. It quivers with life. You get the sense that it would blink at you if it had an eyelid. A mining expert should take a look at this.
The storyline at a glance
Legion Mining has 12 steps, from Felslate Deposit Sample to Ondri.
