Teleporting to a Waypoint will Drop the Vial
Teleporting to a nearby Waypoint somehow causes the Vial of Purified Quicksilver to be dropped from the player's inventory, causing a much larger problem where players must challenge and defeat Valtha again.
To prevent this, either walk or ride a mount back to the Ruined Tower to finish the quest.
