Sap Tapping is a quest for level 30-35 in Dread Wastes. The quest's turn-in marker is in Dread Wastes at 55.1, 35.8. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 4,800 experience and money.
I found a grove of young amber trees to the east, Wakener.
I've placed tapping devices on these trees, but I have been too busy to retrieve the sap.
I need someone to find the extractors. Activate them, then bring me samples of the amber.

The extractors are small spider-like looking machines on trees that are surrounded by Sapflies.
Upon activating the extractor (right click it), it will pour the sap in an amber pot below it and the sapflies will attack you. Just AOE the Sapflies, then loot the amber pot.
If you have trouble finding the extractors because of the large quest area provided by Blizzard's Quest Helper, try looking slightly south of where the map says Mire (of Forgotten Mire). You should be able to complete the quest within 2 minutes there.
If you feel lazy, you can obtain the sap without fighting the sapflies at all.
Hop on your flying mount and get into the air. Find an extractor and right click it. When the flies aggro onto you, fly straight upwards to de-aggro them. When you land back on the ground, the pot of amber sap should be waiting for you on the ground.
Note, this method doesn't always work, but so far it seems to work the majority of the time.

These Mantid Elders are untouched by the corruption and insanity that has overtaken the remainder of the Mantid Swarm. They seek to work with the races of Pandaria to restore their Queen to glory.
Reputation group: Mists of Pandaria.

Possession of the Lesser Charms of Good Fortune will result in great happiness and the eventual conversion into Warforged Seals, which allow players to risk a coin to receive a bonus reward from raid encounters.
