41, 39 for those of you with coordinates, stand on the platform on the left.
It's on the ground, not up by the buildings, but underneath.

Go to 41.6,38.8.
You will find a cave and [npc=103155] standing at the entrance.
He is actually standing on a platform and you should stand on the other one, at the left.
Once you do that, the cave will be opened and you just talk to him again!

Don't do like me and fly into the cave you will get trapped inside and have to hearth and fly back.

Rewards20g 22s, 6,150 XP

Description

The arcways were built to tap into the magical leylines beneath Suramar. As we learned to subsist on the Nightwell, the old facilities fell out of use. This chamber is clearly receiving power from elsewhere. There is only a trickle now, but if you can direct more leyline energy here it will help to sustain us. The closest source is to the north, near Anora Hollow.

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.

This station has fallen into disrepair. The circuit is broken, and to mend it we must recharge the seals in the central chamber. Both a high potency current and low potency current are needed for each seal. Direct the currents to point at the same seal, then engage the seal. Me? I shall supervise.
