I have had this quest for months and couldn't figure out why I don't even see the circles.....You need to go to tracking in your minimap and make sure Track Quest POIs is selected.

I think this quest is a load of crap.
Tried it in seven different circles - standing dead center to them. Used Toothpicks ability 4-6x on each one and got NOTHING. My time may not matter to Blizz, but it does to me.
I'm really tired of the buggy Shadowlands quests, have to check WoWhead to see what's what. If I can't tell if the quest is broke, I'm doing it wrong or it's another find 10 antelope horns if you kill 50-100 antelope you might get a drop, but this is not fun.
Toothpicks quest in Ardenweald was bad enough, this one in Revendreth is a major PiA.
EDIT: Left the area, dismissed Toothpick yada yada yada... Came back and took another stab at it, and finally started getting mites and anima canisters (in the overlapping rings someone had mentioned here).
Then was d/c'd from the game - came back to a quest complete. Go figure. Apparently Toothpick did some digging while I was reloading into the game.....
This has to be one of the buggiest/weirdest quests I've seen in an expansion full of bugs.
Get to Revendreth, have [npc=167764] summoned and you'll see an action button on your screen for [spell=339353].
Go to the quest area and you'll see a ton of circles on your screen. This is where it gets weird (or buggy). If you go into a circle and press [spell=339353] and you're lucky you'll see Anima cannisters or if you're really lucky you'll see a chest (the one chest I got was full of stuff). Sometimes you won't see either. If you get stuff the circle sometimes doesn't go away and sometimes it does. If it doesn't you don't have to move and you can press [spell=339353]. again. Until the circle goes away.
What's really weird is as you move along look behind where you've been and sometimes you'll see Anima cannisters or chests where nothing showed up before. This is how I found my chest.
Just another buggy feature from our overpaid friends at Blizzard.

Description
The thin pale ones of Revendreth have been hoarding anima. I've heard they've been hiding it away, digging holes in the woods and just leaving it there. Anyone could come along and take it. I say that should be us! Let's go get some anima.
