If you encounter a similar issue as me, and Gulchak's Pointer somehow disappears from your inventory, there is a simple fix: abandon the quest. Voraxian and Gulchak will reappear where they originally were beside Sabellian, and you can get both the quest and the pointer back. I would recommend doing the quest immediately, as I am not entirely sure what happened to me particularly that caused the pointer to disappear from my bags.
If you have Particle Density disabled in your graphics settings, the swirlies that indicate where you need to use the quest item will not show on the ground.
Set it to low at minimum and they should show.

Description
It's hungry work, defending and fighting for the Obsidian Citadel, and dragons can eat a great deal. We need to replenish our stores. Lurking beneath the hardened lava, squirming through the magma, are some very tasty worms. This may not appeal to you, but to a hungry dragon, they are delicious. Take our servant Gulchak and use his pointer to direct him towards disturbances in the lava. He will attract the worms for you to harvest.
