BEST drop rate is by far just north of Swamprat Post around 82,44
You just won't get as many motes of life / primals out of it due to the MUCH MUCH shorter time to finish this quest.

Took me a hour to get 2 at spawning glen.
1minute at this place.
Probably 80% drop rate or higher.

Description

Us sporelings and the bog lords have never gotten along well. In the past, we've managed to keep them at bay with spears and stones. Lately they seem to have become more aggressive... or more desperate. They do not fear us or our weapons. You are much scarier and better armed than us. If you were to fight the boglords for us, we'd be forever in your debt! Bring me their tendrils so I know how many you've killed.

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.
