While everyone is correct, it does take 10 days to complete with dailies, you can speed it up a bit. But only if you're lucky.
Get the Azsh'ari Stormsurger Cape to gain access to Mrrl's second daily shop item. On occassion an Ominous Looking Tome will spawn. This tome rewards ALL 3 followers with 150 exp. Since the Friends In Need quest is a combined total across all 3, just using one of this item adds 450 points of progress.

Description

I doubt that will be the last we've seen of Priscilla, but at least she is no longer one of our immediate concerns. We must think carefully before making our next move. In the meantime we should continue to build upon our relationship with our new allies, the Ankoan. Work with them to secure the area and hone their skills, we're not out of the woods yet. I fear the biggest battle is still to come. Let's show them that together we can take on Azshara's forces and succeed!

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.
