So there's clearly a bug with Sika the quest giver. Perhaps it's related to the world quest happening in the same place. She dissapears and randomly spawns back after 15 minutes-ish. Just wait in the spot a lil bit. You can try relogging but if you wait there it will most definetely spawn back.

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.

    I will locate Phaestus. In the meantime, task for you! The Forsworn use my forge to make their centurion army. Their vile intentions warp the metals we use! Destroy their centurions, take their parts. Smelt them down in the forge to purify the metals, then return to me.

  • Phaestus, Genesis of AeonsBastion · Level 60

    Sika reports the Forsworn are widespread. They not only took over production, but the rise as well! They organize their armies from the cliffs, send word back to their leaders. They've ransacked our shrine to the First Forgelite and took her hammer. My hammer!
