You're looking for flasks in the area that don't show up on the minimap. They show up in a set of two, one purple and one yellow/orange.

I didn't find them in that many locations, but here's what I recorded:

/way 46.77, 13.12
/way 47.70, 16.00
/way 45.30, 33.24
/way 51.33, 14.67
/way 48.08, 18.39
/way 48.19, 11.90

I got this rumour from Ghos'opp, standing at 54.52/15.52 (in the City).

Quest text:

Queen Ansurek employs alchemists in the city to supply equipment for the extraction, distillation, and administration of black blood.

The Vizier dislikes this. Therefore, it must be rectified.

Find these alchemists in the northern section of the Umbral Bazaar and destroy any spare equipment you see.

Do be discreet about it. His eminence will not hesitate to blame your fleshy incompetence, should you make a scene.

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.
