If you find yourself in the following situation:
"You went to the area that gives you the quest, but at the same time, the worldquest to gather slimes is active."
You may find that, after completing the slime quest, the mobs required for "decaying situation" do not spawn.
Just run out of the area, and run back in, now you should see the correct mobs and be able to progress 'decaying situation'.

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.
