These are immune to arcane dmg. They cast mana drain which heals them. But apart from that they're pretty easy.
Drop rate doesn't change from area to area, so ignore the above posts saying that the drop rate is best as so-and-so.
Just find and kill. :)

Description
As the X-52's chief of engineering, I have to see to it that the nether-rocket's main engines are in tip-top shape. Unfortunately, I haven't built them yet. {class}, I'm in dire straits here! I have almost all of the parts. All that I'm missing is the engine core. Luckily for us, I think we can make use of the essence from the local mana wraiths to jump-start the engines. They can be found near most of the glowing trenches in the northern part of the island. Except for here in Area 52, of course.
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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Report to Engineering
<name>! I need you to take all of these etherlithium crystals over to Chief Engineer Trep, my, uh, chief of engineering. He should know what to do with them. And if he doesn't, you see to it that he finds out!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Elemental Power Extraction
Darn it, that didn't do it! Ok, I've got another idea! I had Xyrol whip up an elemental power extractor. I'm not certain exactly what this power will do, but I know that I can use it.
