When you get the quest, turn around in the same room, there is a box with a ? above it... click that.
That is no longer correct. You now have to leave the room through the portal, then turn right and go downstairs.

Description
The woven power of this box can only be unlocked by feeding it pride and memory. In its weave are incantations I have seen used in the other realms to siphon or condition a soul. This... abomination... has used these tools of redemption and honor to create a lock. As you challenge the floors of Torghast, your skill, speed, and efficiency will all contribute to Tower Knowledge which this box can feed upon. Feed it to retrieve the powers within.

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.

Ah, Maw Walker, of course. Soon I shall be undone, claimed by this place forever. But you continue to walk its halls, unbroken! It was my great aspiration to prevail with the help of this box. Sadly, I overestimated my own capabilities. I trust I am not overestimating yours. Take the box.
