TheWoWDBA couple of additional notes:
1. The larger spheres are sometimes picky about where you stand. Generally you don't want to be ON them, but rather next to them on the ground a few feet away.
2. Firim's Forge-tap continues to function even when the required number of Fragments and Emigmets have been collected. If you didn't get any Ephemera Strands, just keep running around and siphon any sparkle orbs you see!

If you're having trouble getting some of them, especially from the big ones, try standing in a different position (like farther away than you might expect).
I'm wondering if I am missing something. I have been given daily quests to use the forge tap, which I have completed each time. Furthermore, I have done all the daily quests every day since 9.2 arrived. But the data says I haven't completed this quest, and I am not being offered it either. The data also says I haven't completed Patterns within Patterns either, but I have handed that in twice now. Is this a problem I need to report or is there something that has to be done before I can be offered this quest. Thanks

What to do
Description
The large metal spheres that litter the landscape of Zereth Mortis are spent forges, discarded during the creation process. The spheres near the Forge of Afterlives contain trace amounts of materials unique to that location. I have modified my Forge-Tap to harvest those materials. Use it near the forges I have identified. The rare Eidolic Fragments have the greatest chance to be found on the largest of Progenitor Forges.
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.
