A short distance northeast of the quest giver is a pool. You will see little swirling circles on the stones. Jump/step on one and it will hop you to the next following a progression up to the Pool of Reflection.

Step into the pool and click on the Sun Pearl in your bags.

Quest complete. Click the "?" for the next quest in the chain.

Solved. Once I checked my logs again, I found that the quest can be completed directly from the quest logs, no need to try and find anyone to turn in to. I'm assuming this happened due to an addon I have installed that changes the quest log / map. I think default UI would have popped up the complete dialogue automatically. Once you complete the quest in the quest log, you the get another quest from Aysa Cloudsinger (standing on the bank nearby) to do the water spouts 5 times.

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.

  • The Sting of LearningThe Wandering Isle · Level 1-20

    There are dangers in the pools. The latest and most vicious are the water pincers. A time has come for their numbers to be diminished, and I am no longer up to the task. If you could clear out some of the water pincers, I would be very appreciative. Beware their numbers...
