Motes of Knowledge is a quest for level 60 in Zereth Mortis, added in Shadowlands. It rewards 8,150 experience.
The creatures of Untamed Verdure are ingesting everything in sight. They have consumed our Compilation Nodule, and the Composition Motes needed for compilation. We Jiro require these resources.
This area is too hazardous for unprotected Jiro operation.
Please help us reclaim our resources. Mai Obet will assist you.

On my server, [npc=184395] was evade bugged for hours. The advice given from support was to create a bug report and then find someone from another server where it's not bugged and get invited into their group.
Easiest way to do this was to join an Antros world boss raid temporarily and when you switched servers, asking in General or yell for anyone that hopefully is nearby doing the quest to invite you to their group keeping you on their server.
When your frog is bugged here is a jenky workaround that worked for me (01.04.2022 /not a joke :D):
1. Go to the frog.
2. Que in the Dungen finder for an Antros world boss raid.
(2/b. Pray to be ported to a server where the frog is not bugged)
3. If the Frog is not bugged start killing it.
4. At 1-2% HP left, leave the raid group, you have to be quick (as you can't loot the quest item when in raid).
5. Leave the raid group, very quickly kill frog, loot (you have to be fast because the frog will be shortly despawn when you leave the raid)
6. ProfitIt worked for me on the 2nd try.
I hope it helps until Blizz fixes the bug./Sorry for my english, non -ative speaker/
The right way to do this quest is to not kill any mobs for the Motes, but to just find them all on the ground. The mobs can drop the motes, but it's very rare.
The Jiro will help you find them, but you can lose him pretty easily. Just ride all over the quest area and find them yourself.

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.

TheWoWDB/way #1970 58.3 50.0Map coordinates of the pins above. An area the client draws as a shape is given by the centre of its points.
Quests whose map markers the client places closest to this one on Zereth Mortis, nearest first. Distances are straight lines between the markers.
Flight points closest to the quest’s first objective area marker on Zereth Mortis:
Straight-line distances in yards between the quest’s own map markers (QuestPOI) and the client’s flight-point positions (TaxiNodes); flight paths and terrain are not modelled.
