Legion Remix Disclaimer:
Just a heads up for anyone asking, "Hey, why can't I get this quest?" this is time locked to the second phase of Legion Remix, which releases on October 21st. You will then be able to complete the rest of the Suramar Campaign, specifically the "Insurrection" achievement listed in the Legion: Remix set of achievements.
I've seen a lot of people asking in World Chat about this, so just be aware!

Gave it to the refugee child, "Yuck! I want candy". Ingrate.

Note that finishing Good Suramaritan is not sufficient (awarded after Arcan'dor, Gift of the Ancient Magi); you also need to complete the followup quest Arluin's Request.
If you're like me and you completed Good Suramaritan and weren't offered One Day at a Time, be sure to finish Arluin's Request too.

Description

Thank you for coming, outlander. It is good to see you again. I have a situation in the city that needs your attention, but first... Let us talk of hope. <Thalyssra gestures toward the arcan'dor.> The fruit of the arcan'dor can truly free my people from the Nightwell. However, it only grows so fast. It will take time to distribute this cure. I think it only right that you help me pass out the fruit as it is ready. Please take this, and give it to anyone.

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.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Silence in the CitySuramar · Level 45
There is a troubling silence from Suramar City this day. Oculeth just informed me that the teleporter to the Waning Crescent has gone dark. He is not able to reach Vanthir, nor am I. While I am hesitant to believe something dire has happened, I do feel this warrants investigation.
