So this is not just about why cant i solo this group quest, this is, the quest is actually impossible to do if you are not grouped with someone who is also on that quest.
In the quest you need to toss a neutralizing agent into the cauldron multiple times in order for it to complete, the problem is, the CD on the neutralizing agent is longer then the timer to toss it in again, so you never are able to toss it in more then once before it fails.
If this was a case of, just get someone else to help you kill things that would be fine, but you cant even help someone in group with this quest unless you are on it as well.
same can’t do it solo, the CD for the flask is too long
Because that’s how it worked in Wrath.

There is a daily quest called ‘Neutralise the Plague’ which has the same objective. So people with either quest can team up to get them completed.
Might be helpful if you can find a friend who has already completed Basic Chemistry - get them to pick up the daily so they can help.

Yep, not a bug. Working as intended. You just need one other person doing it (which doing the daily applies) to help you.

It is tagged as a group quest. It would make sense that you require a group to do it. Just get someone else to help (there is a daily for it too.)
