It seems that level 20 free to play players can't get this quest, even if it shows level 10 as requirement.
This is a big disappointment for me.
You cannot get the following quests and therefore neither the achievements nor the [currency=3100] rewards.

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.
