I wish I could have had a few words of explanation instead of meaningless videos. The mobs are not visible to me and thats what I was looking for.
For those that hate swimming, there is no swimming with this quest.

There is something fouling these waters, {class}. We will need to purify the waters in order to restore balance to the elemental forces below this ruin. The magic here has warped the elementals and they are beyond restoration. Release their corrupted forms so that they may be reborn pure.

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.
- Turtle Powered
In order to locate and purify the source of the corruption I am going to need an elemental focus. The turtles around here have developed scales that can focus and amplify their innate magics. Bring back some snapper scales and we will have these waters purified in no time!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Purge the Unclean
Do you feel it in the air, <race>? The stage is set for us to make things right. While you were busy I was able to track down the elder elemental that rules these waters. Its name is the Azurefall Guardian and it resides within the channels below Tel'anor.
