If you encounter water and you don't see the fog, go past the water in straight line until you see the shore. Then use the "Fog Tracer" again to continue your journey. It's a long way to go, do it while mounting.
On the last part, you need to be dismounted, else you are going to land in a place where you will not "complete" your quest. It took me a while to figure it out since I was on my dragon.

What to do
Description
With the trackers attached, we should be able to find out where the fog beasts are coming from. The trackers leave a residue in the air. It's invisible to the naked eye, but I can use the mists to reveal it in places where there's a high enough concentration. Theoretically, this should lead us to the places they most frequent. Maybe a nest! That I'll then have to report to my employer... hm. Anyway. Let's see what we can find.
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.
- Unnatural Predators
It would be no use tagging fog beasts to study if they all were to die, would it? Could you clear out some of the aggressive deepflayers that have flocked to feast on the fog beasts? They'll ruin my data if left unchecked, I'm sure of it.
