When u lose the quest giver just simply log out and log back in at least that helped for me
Just a heads up to anyone not able to see the "!" for the rune to start the quest, click on the tracking icon next to your minimap and be sure to check the box for "Trivial Quests". Seems if you outlevel the zone some quests won't be shown to you anymore.

Description
Examining the Twilight Rune of Earth, you can almost feel its power extending further into the Elementium Depths. It's probably connected to other runes. Initiate Goldmine thinks that you should destroy all of them.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- While We're Here
You know, while we're here, we might as well take care of the Twilight's Hammer intruders. This place used to be ours, after all! I'd help, but with my totems and weapons broken, I'm pretty helpless.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Fiery Reunion
That's Magmatooth, my estranged fire elemental. <name>, you gotta kill him or he's gonna kill me! It was all just a big misunderstanding. How was I to know he'd be mad about me "borrowing" his heart down in Deepholm? He can't die... not permanently anyway!
