You find the Enraged Lapbug Shade mobs inside the phase.

Phase shift and use a flight path available directly at the "Phase Conduit"

What to do

StorylineLil' Lapbugs, step 3 of 5

Rewards30g 98s, 11,750 XP

Description

Thorntails are known to hunt smaller creatures. If we are to increase their numbers, we should also increase the numbers of the lapbug population to compensate. Gather some of their astral essence. You can use a phase conduit to get into Untethered Space.

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.

Rooting for TroubleThe Oasis · Level 80
Our bees have been marvelous at cultivating the local flora. Some of the plants have seen almost explosive growth. However, the lapbugs have become entangled in their roots. I've been untangling them all morning. Would you lend a hand?

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

A Truth Universally AcknowledgedThe Oasis · Level 80
I have an idea, <name>. Everyone seems to love the lapbugs, so I have enlarged them, given them hats, and placed them in picturesque locations. Take this camera and take some photos with the lapbugs. If I am correct, this will go a long way toward increasing support for our efforts.
