Currently bugged - I believe it cannot finish if you have a full quest log? I got to 100% and heard the sound when you abandon a quest so I removed a quest from my log, but still it wouldn't complete. Logoff, leave area and come back, nothing fixed it! Guess I'll wait until next time and try again?...

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.
