Respawn Rate on the Elemental Rifts is pretty slow. They seem to all spawn at once, so if the cave is empty, wait a few minutes and they should all spawn in after a while. They also spawn on top of the cave if you go out and fly up.

What to do
Description
The elementals are coming from inside that cave. We only made it part of the way in before needing to retreat. I could see some flickering within, some strange glowing thing that looked almost like a tear in space from which the elementals poured forth! We managed to close one of these portals, but there are more. I need to stay with Nanthaz. It is up to you now, if you can manage. Destroy the rifts and find their source. I suspect it lies deeper within the cave.

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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- To the Source
Orsenth told me you have been instrumental in dealing with the elemental problem here at the mine. I am Keldaz, supervisor for the militia. We came as soon as word of the attack reached us in Gundargaz. The miners you rescued said that the elementals poured out of the northeast mine shaft.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Glittering Shard
<Glistening with an inner light, this shard of crystal feels warm to the touch.. Orsenth may be interested in examining this piece of ore.>
