Witch of the Wastes Bug
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.

Thank you very much. I found out, you can go back to the spot and the vial will still be there. I didn't try using my return portal, so don't know if it would be there if you used that.
