they need to up the spawn rate of the elementals 10x, at least the drop rate wasn't too bad.

There are not many of the elementals that drop the cores, you may need to wait for respawns.
Leave the cave, go kill the elementals just outside the cave for the cores. There's only four elementals right there, but if you're still short on the drops, go to the beach on the others side of the rocks at 32, 77.

What to do
Description
According to the earthen, we have to lure the spirit. Or disturb it. Or something. The four standing stones they mentioned have depleted elemental cores laying around them. There are igneous elementals outside and on the beach to the north. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Could you get me elemental cores? Maybe just a few? We're so close, so we might as well try...

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Precious Gems
So, all they gave us was a location and a garbled riddle... But I guess we know where to start. I can picture it now. Once I have Basalteous's knowledge, I will have nobles and merchants lining up outside my house. No, my mansion! The earthen did say southwest, right?
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Gems Are Forever
I am so close, I can feel it in my bones. Place the cores next to each standing stone. It is time to summon Basalteous.
