How to complete the quest Unsolid Ground:
- Collect 6 [item=58500] from around the camp.
- Use (by right-clicking) 6 collected crystals to create [item=58783].
- [item=58783] can be used anywhere in the camp (there is no specific location) - be sure not to be interrupted here through moving or combat, as your [item=58783] will fail to be placed and will also be consumed -- so you'll need to collect more [item=58500] to create a new one.
- Upon placing the [item=58783] on the ground, step back and watch the twilight cultists kill the elite tunneler that spawns - you needn't kill it yourself.
- Hand in!

When using the stone to summon it, do not move / cast spells (ie: Disperse / Iceblock) it will cause the placement / summon of the worm to stop and you wont get any credit. Plus the crystal goes away, so you have to farm another one.
I killed it.
It drops nothing, and does not give anything special or additional exp for those wondering.
Just drop it, and run away.

What to do
Description
The Twilight Cult are mining jade crystals near their camp. Foolish... Reckless... Gather the mined crystals. Take them to the center of their camp. Shatter them against the ground. The reverberations and the powered crystal will bring the tunnelers upon them. They will learn respect for the earth... Piece by piece... Rock by rock... ...with time.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Hatred Runs Deep
I would apologize for Boden, but stone is stubborn. It does not sway from its ways without the wear of time. The Stone Lords, Boden and I among them, are charged with retrieving the World Pillar. In that, we are at odds. I would extend my patience upon you, <race>.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Loose Stones
The Twilight Cultists are taking my rocklings among them. They drain them and torture them. Strip them of the very essence that animates them from the stone. Please, <race>, free my rocklings. Neither Diamant nor I have the delicacy to smash their chains without hurting them as well.
