The item drops off the second boss. But don't leave immediately! You have to kill the last one too to get quest credit.
In case anyone else is working on Legion Pathfinder after BfA went live: I was worried about having to do the Dungeon, since I avoid them like the plague. However, at level 115, I was able to solo the dungeon just fine, including all of the bosses. It was very easy actually, and I can't imagine any classes having trouble with it.
I just flew to the nearest flight point, then ran to the instance, then started clearing the mobs. Don't even need anything fancy to finish the fights with Oakheat and Xavius.

Description
Blacksmith Kyriel is no stranger to the Farstriders. He has forged countless arrows for us in the past, using his knowledge of unique materials to help build better, stronger ammo. He's efficient and gifted, making the most of scarce materials. Using a single branch from a corrupted ancient, he can craft thousands of arrows.
