For those of you wondering you do not actually loot the item from xavius. When you defeat him you go into a purified emerald dream and next to cenarius will be a pot looking object and that will be the item! Good luck!

A World of Warcraft quest in Suramar. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
I have to admit, I am feeling a little betrayed by Blizzard right now. I have played this game for ten years as a solo player, and now I can only advance through raiding and doing dungeons. I know this is supposed to be a social game but I am a paying customer and I should be able to play according to my own style. Not to mention that the people who do raid are now going to have to carry players who suck at raiding (like me).
This item will be available in LFR (once Xavius is available in LFR that is) (source).
...quest chains, such as “The Stuff of Dreams” from the Suramar campaign, will be completable through Raid Finder. We’ll be making some additional changes in Patch 7.1 to more clearly communicate when and where these restrictions apply.

What to do
Description
This arcan'dor is one of an ancient species. They were not bred, but created. In them the arcane and primitive druidic magics merged into something greater than both. The arcane will soon devour it whole. We can restore balance, but it will require wild magic. Magic trapped in another realm. You must enter the Emerald Dreamway and bring back the essence of life itself. Only then can the arcan'dor find stability and begin to thrive once more.
