TheWoWDBAs stated above, buff seems to cancel as soon as you leave "The Skunkworks" subzone. But after it cancels, I was able to click the goggles in my inventory and re-enable the buff, even though my zone said "Silverwind Refuge." I was able to find more assassins outside of the Skunkworks this way, especially towards its west side.

Srsly the buff i get runs out as soon as i even think about moving towards suggested area on this page. I have to stay really close and kill 6-7 and then wait for respawn.
To further clarify, every time you change sub-zones the goggle effect cancels. You can turn them on at any time, however. There are usually only 5-7 mobs within the Skunkworks sub-zone, but there are a LOT more to the west. Pick up the shredder parts while hunting them.

They're out there, {class}. And they're on to us. Some of my men have begun turning up dead. Elf attacks, no question about it. My guess is that your work at Astranaar has them desperate to stop our progress here. A last ditch effort to escape defeat! Take these goggles. They'll help you see even the sneakiest of the elves. Keep them off my back while we finish weaponizing your explosives.
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.
- Mass Production
Wahoo!! Did you SEE that?! We need to get this into production right away! Here. Take the rest of the stuff to Jinx. You'll find him setting up our new facility just west of here.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Building Your Own Coffin
Once it's complete, we're going to need to get this bomb down to Saurboz. And by 'we', I mean 'you'. With so many of the enemy prowling about, I'll need to create something special if you're to have any chance of success. I can modify one of these busted shredders, but I'll need a few parts.
