Very low droprate, don't know why, I killed like 15 of these dudes, started to think there was some gimmick thing I wasn't aware of, but it finally dropped. Since there are so few of these guys around, it seemed unnecessary to put such a low droprate.
You turn in the quest in a cave. The path to the cave starts at 30,72.

What to do
Description
I need you to fetch me something. I think I might be on the verge of a breakthrough of a new source of magic, but I require tools. I can no longer access my workshop, but I have seen the smaller demons below using tools. Bring me one of their tools and I can save our people.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

I can sense residues of magic all over you. You will be useful. I must study how the demon bodies can handle the fel energies in such large quantities. I have plenty of flesh to sample, but there must be something...
