Not at all clear what is required for this quest. I saw the WQ on the map so went to the npc; he asks for this pylon. No mention of where or how to get it, so I come to wowhead. From clicking around on various pages I find that it's an engineering recipe which I don't have yet. Hobart in Dalaran sells rank 2 and 3 of the schematic, but I don't know where to find rank 1.
Previous expansions have been pretty much playable using only in-game information, but in Legion I find myself spending more and more time here at wowhead trying to find out how to complete a quest when that information should have been clearer.
Doing this quest /slightly/ late, and there doesn't seem to be an NPC to hand it in to? At least not where the map suggests they'll be. I've crafter Rank 1 and Rank 2.
