TheWoWDBSince the quest gives you no indication of how to reach these new areas, you need to start with the quests Stalkers of the Stars and Veterans of the Great Dark. Both are pink quests given by [npc=263479] in north east Silvermoon (Midnight version).

YOU HAVE TO CLICK ON THE BOSS AFTER YOU KILLED THEM!They are not auto picked-up like everything else after you kill the bosses.
The quest item will NOT be mailed to you and you will be asked to kill the boss again.
One of the worst instances of timegating. All this awful, boring content and then you have to find a group for this pathetic quest.

Description
Although it made an excellent catalyst, the primessence you retrieved revealed a factor we did not account for. The alien nature of the Void and ethereal magic used in their assaults proved incompatible with the experiment. We need a sample of their magic if we are to make any progress--not from the assaults here in Quel'Thalas, but from the source of their attacks. I am told these enemies strike from off-world staging grounds. Good luck, {name}.

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.

Thanks to your efforts, we've isolated the effects of trace amounts of foreign magic coalescing with the ley lines. Our next phase is to compare these results against a pure sample of magic coalescing with the same energy.
