You cannot turn in, pick up, or otherwise complete this quest if you have completed the Raid. The phased version of the world you enter post-raid removes these NPCs entirely from the game.

Had some issues with turning it in, since I didn't realize it'd bug after doing the Raid, but a /reload and just closing and reopening the dialogue seemed to fix it. Was able to turn it and its sister quest in and move on with the story.

Description

{name}, ethereals have been striking out from the Ethereum Overcroft, harassing our Vanguard forces where they find them. If you can bring the fight to them, it'll take the pressure off our muster. Can you do that for us?

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.

My partner had this issue when we were grouped, but on different completion phases of this quest. Once he droped group, he was able to get progress towards the quest, when he could not do so while we were grouped.

Their very life force is being siphoned to power the ethereals' guns, <name>! This cannot be allowed to continue. Head into the Ethereum Overcroft and free my fellow void elves from the ethereals' clutches.
