There are afew ways that people have been able to progress with and complete the quest. When you land at the cauldron you can try afew of these things or all of them as it has seemed to work for most who have done it including me.

1. A simple relog works for some
2. When you land talk to Choluna again and ask her to fly you to the cauldron and the npc to hand the quest into will appear (this is what i did and it worked for me)
3. Talk to the other druid next to Choluna and get him to take you down to the bottom and run back up.
4. Hearth back to your garrison and then fly back out to skysea and then get taken to the cauldron again.

Ok, so I tried going back to Skysea Point and flying again, and there was still no quest person. At the Cragplume Cauldron, I spoke to Choluna and asked for the flight, even though I was already there. Then the quest person showed up.

A high value artifact at Cragplume Canyon, hmmm? Let's see if we can't beat the Iron Horde to it. Let's move fast. Speak to Choluna, and we'll be on our way.

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Ambushing the EnemyLevel 40

    See that Iron Horde camp to the south, across the water? We've been watching their movements for days. We've seen a lot of correspondence between their lieutenant and the Iron Horde command in Nagrand. We need to disrupt their operation. Gather their supplies, and bring me their leader's head.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The DescentLevel 40

    Whatever lies at the bottom of this cauldron is of great use to the Iron Horde, and therefore, of great interest to us. I need you to investigate the bottom of this crater. You go ahead. I'll be right behind you.
