A word of advice: If you're doing other stuff (WQ, World Boss, Dailies and etc) in the zone, and want Pocopoc by your side, DO NOT START THIS QUESTLINE (at least on your alts, and after your main unlocked flying). You pick this up and you lose pocopoc until you abandon it or finish the questline or something like that. No massive damage from pocopoc around the zone on other activities, or his buffs or talking to Jiro or tracking treasures, for example.

What to do
Description
{name}, I am so glad you are here! Firim sent me to find you. It's the oracle, it... well... it's hard to describe. You should come see it for yourself. Hurry!
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.

After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Music of the Spheres
It started gradually, the energy emanating from the oracle in increasing amounts, until the grand design you see before you took shape. The terrible clamor ringing in our ears began shortly afterward. My attempts to approach the fractals have been... unsuccessful.
