This is kind of a big deal for that trinket to tank in TK. Sadly this might not be fixed for a while. Blizzard needs a high sense of urgency on this!

Same thing is happening on Windseeker as well. The NPC isn’t there to turn it in for: The New Directive.

Tobais the Filth Gorger for the quest: Of Thistleheads and eggs… is nowhere to be found either

Please try out the following steps: - Re-logging or zoning to different areas can sometimes resolve phasing issues. - Abandon and re-take the quest, where that makes sense (abandoning a quest will cause all current progress to be lost). - Check our support articles for any specific mentions of your issue: https://battle.net/support/ - Check the comment sections of various fansites for the quest that you are having trouble with:Reset your User Interface and try again without any addons: If you believe that you’ve encountered a bug, please report it as such: Thank you for your time!

The response given is common as noted in the actual response. In this case it appears to be a common cause a GM probably wouldn’t be able to help with. Until development discovers what causes this bug and the possible fixes, a ticket probably will not be necessary as GM staff generally do not fix bugs. GM staff do not generally bypass quest mechanics simply because it can cause other issues down the line. Hopefully with this bug report there is enough information for quality assurance to discover the cause, allowing development to fix this in short order. If you read the last sentence you’ll note where it says to reopen the ticket if you have a need for additional help.
