Obtained this right after completing rank 2, so no other prereqs here, just blind luck.
Recently did this grind and this item took about 2 hours of farming to finally get it to drop. I had about 800 starlight rose. Very bad rng.

Description
Scribbled, angry phrases on a dirty scrap of vellum. One part catches your eye: "thinks HE knows how to gather herbs {name}{name} {name}{name} steal my blade slit his THROAT when I just need a bit more mana maybe aethril, yes..." Your herbalism trainer may be interested in seeing this.

Bosses in the Adventure Guide, in order: Agronox, Thrashbite the Scornful, Domatrax, Mephistroth.
Entrance: Broken Shore at 64.9, 16.8.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Spade's Blade
Did you notice the script along the base of the handle, <name>? It says "Herbalist Tharillon," in the writing of the nightborne. The handle does little for us, but perhaps the blade of this spade will give us some information on how to harvest the starlight rose without failing quite so often.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Tharillon's Fall
He mentions your name... his blade... aethril... I'd say that this is absolutely from Herbalist Tharillon, and by the look of it, he may have succumbed to the plight of the nightfallen. Furthermore, if he's looking for aethril, he's probably in Azsuna somewhere.
The storyline at a glance
Legion Herbalism has 6 steps, from Starlight Rosedust to Tharillon's Fall.
