Elemental Bonds: Patience - Bugged Out

I was doing the elemental bonds: patience quest when it bugged out, i dropped it and now I can’t resume and reaccept it. I can’t figure out where to go back to get the prev quest or how to restart it. No documentation on this on the entire web. Had another person, Macmommyuwu on Mankrik, had the same issue as me, we tried to resolve it but couldn’t. Tried to go back to previous area but it was a phased area, so now I’m in limbo. Opened a ticket, they said they can’t do anything and to open a bug report. Please help.
