TheWoWDBThe 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.

Sap Tapping
A World of Warcraft quest in Dread Wastes. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.

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.

Description
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.
