You need to hand this in with the other 2 quests at the time as if you don't the NPC disappears and it can't be handed in.

turn in is at 58 / 29 to the east, not where this bugged world quest map indicator says.

If you completed the quest later and do not see the NPC, ask another player in the area to sync the quests with you.

Description

The first step to stemming our losses and retaking the mines is straightforward, if unpleasant. Without minions, this Candle King will be less of a threat to Gundargaz. See if you can reduce the swarm, {name}, before hostilities escalate further.

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.

Speaking to the SpeakersThe Ringing Deeps · Level 73-75
I've heard about a problem nearby, and I think I know what's wrong. We used to have a mining operation northeast of Gundargaz. When we moved out, kobolds moved in. We haven't heard from those kobolds in a long time, but it sounds like they're raiding us now!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Leave No Stone BehindThe Ringing Deeps · Level 73-75
Many earthen fell when the kobolds took this mine. Worse, those who fell were left to crumble where they dropped. There was no attempt to recover them. We couldn't provide closure or respect their memories. Why? Why did we forsake the fallen? We will not fail them again, <name>.
