I'm standing in the area, killing stuff, clicking stuff. I'm not making progress on the quest. What am I missing?
Update: They are tiny neutral (yellow name) "Luminescent Slug". Get close to them and you get the hand mouse pointer and you squish them (not kill).
Warning: the dozens of murlocs will swarm you. I almost died multiple times.

What to do
Description
My brief studies have shown that the refinement process creates a byproduct that is invisible to the naked eye, but is easily seen with refracted bioluminescent light. The sea floor is littered with creatures that produce just what we need to track down this weapons cache.
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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Stealing the Naga's Secrets
<Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that the blades have been forged from Azerite. Weapons of this power should never be in the hands of the naga.>
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Coveted Crystals
Locating the weapons cache should not be a problem once we have the proper tools. A little light and a lot of bioluminescent fluid is all that is needed. It all seems rather simple, does it not? But the key is in the Deepsea Crystal used to refract the light.
