TheWoWDBApparently there's no page for the WQ, so: I started the WQ and unearthed 1/2 Finds. Then the WQ zone on my minimap disappeared along with all the yellow dots, and I can no longer see the brown geysers indicating where to dig. I /reloaded and flew to the main island and back to no avail.
UPDATE: Deladrin's response pointed me to success: a plume at /way 13.13, 14.15
And then another at /way 17.48, 17.96
The WQ zone doesn't reappear on the minimap, but the little yellow circles at the plumes are still there. Keep flying around.
Thanks!

I searched for the last one I needed forever, after the map indicators had all disappeared. No marks or area lines. Found it across the broken bridge on the island, at /way 12.47 15.28
I tried switch to Warmode too and it worked for me.
