Just a couple of notes:
When you attack them, they run at you; jump behind you a fair distance, and then run back to you;
For me, the drop rate was 100%.
Easy quest.
They are at the left edge of what quest marker on map shows ; a little confusing (at least for me and my friend)

It goes without saying that I had no desire to stay here, but there were materials we needed for the ritual... I delayed to secure them, and that is what lead to my capture. I will return to the circle, but I would be indebted to you if you would finish what I could not. We need hearts from the bound fire elementals that the Twilight's Hammer enslave in the western portion of the encampment. The elementals are without hope, but in this sacrifice they can extract their revenge. Find me at camp.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Simple Solutions
I'm new to this gig. Very new. But ya know what? That gives me perspective! These shaman buddies of mine have come upon somethin' great, but they're too single minded! They lean on the elements and they forget to make use of the common materials all around them.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Maw of Iso'rath
We are ready to attack the beast. First, we need to destroy it's tentacles, then Yevaa will perform a ritual to summon a powerful fire elemental that we will drop into its maw. I want you to fly out with our first group attack.
