TheWoWDB"You are too far away", had to stand right on top of the cells to loot them (in phase). Quest still works!

The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
As the quest text states, you will need a Bash'ir Phasing Device in order to see the hidden mana cells. Just start killing the ethereal in the area until one drops.
Once you are phased, there doesn't seem to be a time limit. You'll be able to see the mana cells but you will also be vulnerable to Phase Wyrms.
Upon completion of the Sunwell Portal (a portal from Shattrath City to the Isle of Quel'Danas) during phase 2, this quest replaces Intercepting the Mana Cells, and has the same objective but is a permanent daily quest that can be completed for reputation and reward, and will always be available once it is unlocked.
For more information regarding the Shattered Sun Offensive daily quests and the "phases" of reclamation, check out this guide on the Wowhead forums! :)

Description
We must maintain the energy to our portal or it will collapse. The mana cells that the ethereals at Bash'ir Landing have hidden will continue to serve our purposes. The landing sits atop the northwestern corner of the Blade's Edge Mountains, far to the north. Remember, acquire a phase device from one of the ethereals and then use it to locate the smuggled goods. Just be cautious of the phase wyrms that they use to guard the mana cells.
