This quest is not broken like I thought it was. Reading is fundamental.
The quest text reads: "You can break the curse for good! It might not be obvious, but what you'll need will be nearby. You seem clever enough to figure out how to do it. Good luck!" It took me a minute to figure it out.
For the Suspiciously Untouched Harp, you need the Gossamar Laces buff from Gossamer Thread.
For the Suspiciously Untouched Basket, you need the Shimmerdusted buff from Shimmerdust Pile.
For the Suspiciously Untouched Soulweb, you need the Minty Fresh Breath buff from Freshleaf.

Guide:

Obtain the buffs needed to disarm the traps. Each buff lasts 10 minutes, and they do stack. So you can just get all 3 Buffs and then disarm every trap you find.

For the Suspiciously Untouched Harp, you need the Gossamar Laces buff from Gossamer Thread @ 57, 27 on the table.

For the Suspiciously Untouched Basket, you need the Shimmerdusted buff from Shimmerdust Pile @ 59, 26 on the table.

For the Suspiciously Untouched Soulweb, you need the Minty Fresh Breath buff from Freshleaf @ 56, 28 by the bridge.

It's really not that bad if you do it like this. :)

What to do

StorylineTricky Spriggans, step 3 of 7

Rewards37g 20s 60c, 11,450 XP

Description

Ah, an outsider! You are perfect for this task. The spriggans are known for their mischief. They have been cursing our tools and supplies and trapping unsuspecting workers! Like our curses, they must obey the rules. You'll need shimmerdust for baskets, thread made of gossamer for harps, and minty fresh breath for the soulwebs. How odd. Good luck and let the Lady of the Falls know when you're done. She'll be delighted to hear it!

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.

Idle HandsArdenweald · Level 10-56
If you want my help then you are going to need to help me first. There is a group of spriggans that have assaulted the growthworks to the northeast. They are causing all manner of havoc and I simply will not abide this trespass into my lands. Go there and teach them a lesson.
