Might be bugged. I have (2) veteran items. Upgraded each, cant get the "Acquire a Veteran track item" to trigger.
FIXED!
I abandoned the quest.
Then I retook the quest.
Then I immediately upgraded a piece of Veteran gear I already had on me. (cost 20 now, but already had that from 2 other Prey Hard quests)
Then it immediately completed and moved onto the transmutation trade-in quest.
All better now.

What to do
Description
We have only just begun to scratch the surface of how powerful your gear can become! However, every piece of equipment has a limit to how much it can be upgraded. The more powerful an item is at its baseline, the more powerful it will become as we upgrade it. An item's upgrade track determines which crests we must use to upgrade it. Bring me a piece of Veteran equipment this time along with some Veteran Dawncrests. Just like before, Cuzolth will help you upgrade the item using those crests.
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.
- Adventuring Gear
<name>, you're just in time! I was exchanging research notes with the artisans here in Silvermoon all day. Did you know they can infuse weapons and armor with the power of the dawn itself? Fascinating! I've been itching to put some of these new techniques to the test.
After this quest
Taken from a quest that requires this one.
- Crest Transmutation
Did you know that crests can be transmuted into different tiers? If you find yourself with crests that are too powerful for the gear you've acquired, I can help you transmute those crests into lower tiers that you can use.

Item Upgrade Tutorial has 4 steps, from Crests of the Dawn to Veteran Equipment.
