You just need to go to the area and you'll collect the "protein" after you kill the raptora, cervids (have very large antlers "Cervid Grazer," etc.), or the lupines, "Lupine Animate." It's a pretty large area to find them - there are a good amount around 34.61, 57.07. When you get all the proteins after killing 15, go back to Haven and turn the quest in to Elder Ara. She's next to Elder Zoor at 34.81, 64.92. You will get something for your collection. In my case, (destro warlock), got the recreative oracular wrists, level 233. Hope it helps. Thanks.

On a quite new character, I had to do some of the old campaign quests (2/9) until helping to free the Runecarver's arm. I got The First Move when I turned in The Weak Link and returned to Oribos.
You can talk to Highlord Bolvar Fordragon instead of Polemarch Adrestes to skip until Korthia.

When I skipped it, I immediately got Call of the Primus. Talk to Tal-Inara in Oribos to start the questline for Zereth Mortis.
She also offers a skip, I've you have done the campaign with an alt before. You'll start there with 3/7 chapters of Secrets of the First Ones and unlocked world quests.

Beware that you will miss the rewards of the first three chapters, if you skip them.
Edit: With the Hotfix for March 18th, players who skip the Zereth Mortis story will get the reputation with the Enlightened.

Campaign:
Chapter 1

Call of the Primus - Talk to Tal-Inara, turn in at The Primus after that
A Hasty Voyage - click Anima Wyrm behind you. Click Blast of Decay and Necrotic Barrage to fill the bar. Don't skip the cinematic
click Kick, Hold Tight! and Pull the Reins to match the emotes.
Long Lost Firim - find Firim and click the 4 objects
Give Me A Hand - follow Firim, click the door, then Disabled Automa and defeat Genesis Guardian
A Mutual Exchange - go to south, step on the teleporter and click your extra button Activate. Kill Yggdreth the Despoiler and loot the core

Forging Connections - go to Haven, talk to Elder Kreth
Defending Haven - kill 13 enemies
Destroying the Destructors - destroy 4 objectives
This Old Waystone - follow Elder Ara to the cave. Stand in front of the waystone to get the extra button Open the Waystone. Click the stone, turn in in Oribos
The Forces Gather - return to Zereth Mortis and talk to Elder Kreth

Chapter 1 took about 25 minutes with itemlevel <190.

Chapter 2 took about 40 minutes with itemlevel <200.

Cyphers of the First Ones - click the console again. Unlock the first option and get your Pocopoc
The Way Forward - return to Haven

Chapter 3 took about 30 minutes with itemlevel 200. It gave less rewards than the previous ones.

Comment by Techhead7890

Most Cervid Grazers are pretty tough (at ~45k hp and hitting like a truck too, it's tough multipulling them under 200 ilvl!) but there are some weaker and around /way 37 57 "Protein" // These have a little under 30k HP and should be a bit easier to deal with!

Links

Necessary Harvest

Collect 15 Latent Protein from raptora, cervids, and lupines in The Great Veldt and surrounding area.

	Latent Protein (15)

Description

Between the Mawsworn attacks and your presence here, our supplies are dwindling. It pains me to say it, but the most immediate solution for replenishing our resources is the local wildlife. It is unfortunate that it has come to this, but it is what must be done. Cull some of the local wildlife, and help us replenish our supplies.
