Ouch, sounds like you've not found the city ones yet then: if you have
the tracking on they appear on your minimap as blue blobs (if you
don't, use the tracking item you were given a while back, should be in
your bags someplace,
http://www.wowhead.com/item=141652/mana-divining-stone), the ones in
the wilds indeed mainly only give 10 (some give 20 and rare ones give
an item that gives 50 or 100, but as those items are tradeable I
prefer to sell them on the AH for easy gold :-)), but items found in
the main city give way more, ranging from 40-100+, which makes it go
far faster. 

Can be hard to find some, they're easy to miss, but once you find a
few you'll know what you're looking for: some appear as bottles, some
are plants in the ground, others are floating books or blue gems,
there's a few pics at
http://www.wowhead.com/guides/suramar#ancient-mana. Btw if one shows
on the minimap as outside but above you, look up and see if you can
see a glowy post on a nearby roof - the Stormheim grappling hook
system works in Suramar too, and a lot are up on the roofs; the posts
are rather less obvious "click on me" than the hooks!

Ouch, not surprised you gave up there :-/ I heard about that as an
early bug, never seemed to affect me after the first day or so, maybe
it's fixed by now for people who were getting it. Or maybe there's
some location-based stuff in it; my phone never leaves my house so
always connects through the same connection anyway. 

My annoyance with the app is it only lists the charcters on one game
account, if you have two accounts you have to use the logout button to
view another game account on the same battle.net account (luckily it
doesn't actually completely log me out, but I always expect it to say
"no, you're logged out now, go find your authenticator"), and as my
only two characters levelled are one on each account, it's a pain...

Hehe - I had to laugh really, it's one of the two most-complained
about on the forums, ironically I actually really *want* the other one
commonly regarded as "useless", because the incoming dmg reduction it
gives will be fantastic for soloing, which is what I do the most; I
just got the wrong one :-)

>I haven't seen a legendary in Legion.

You'll see one eventually, I think they buffed the droprate with 7.1,
as there seemed to be a big spike of them in active players around
that time; both me and my bf got ours within about 4 days of the
patch, right when forums were full of people saying they finally saw
one. Hopefully you'll have luck soon too (and get a good one :-))
