For me Nighteyes didn't spawn to the cave entrance until I went into the cave.
This is a silly quest, although it may be intended to be that way.
-The collar has a short range
-Animals targeted become hostile to the player. Haven't seen them attack an npc.
-Using the collar removes masqueradeSo unless you have a method to deaggro, the easiest way to do this quest is to stay in the pens and immediately slay the freed creature. I.. don't think that was what the druid wanted. ;o)

Enchanted Nightborne Coin, 20g 22s, 6,150 XPDescription
The collar you took from the trapper is simple, but effective. Affixing the collar to a target will make them complacent and obedient to their Nightborne masters. Lilryia was able to reverse the spell using the traps you found. The magics in the collar can now be used to cancel out the other collars. How about giving the Nightborne a reminder that nature always finds a way?

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.
- Trapping Evolved
The Nightborne are using magic for everything, even trapping. Nighteyes saw them at work, laying down magical snares to capture prey rather than the kind our people use. Bring me their traps so that I may study their make.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Apex Predator
I have good news and bad news, <race>. The bad news is that they somehow managed to capture and train a Devilsaur. The good news is that it doesn't seem to have a collar and is tame. I imagine it must think that one of the Nightborne in there is its master.
