This quest is a mess, the drop rate is extremly low.(or at least it was for me, but wowhead shows the drop rate of almost 100%)
You need to collect [item=127046] from [npc=110981]
Anyway the problem of this quest is that you have to kill underwater creatures and the are 40-50 yards away.
So bring some waterwalking if you can, because it will take 10-20 minutes otherwise.Here is my main Legion Tailoring post: [spell=201708]

Absolutely idiotic drop rate. Maybe 20%, not many squids yet tons of other mobs that you'll have to kill.
Plus they're squid! Every single one should have ink! This is the kind of quest Cataclysm was supposed to get rid of.
If you want a much better drop rate and you have this quest while questing in Helheim, the [npc=91537] have a MUCH higher drop rate (I'd say like 80%).
100% drop is correct. Look for them in the deep water section. If a priest, use levitate to walk on the water between kills.

Description
Your assistance, {name}, if you have a moment. I've been attempting to reproduce a pattern for footwear that I spotted a while back, but I'm having trouble getting the right color for my dye. Our black dye is too dark, our blue dye is too bright, and mixing the two doesn't look right. The color I'm looking for is more of a squid-ink blue. If, in your travels, you come across any dyes of this color, would you do me the favor of bringing some to me?

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Taking Inspiration
I wish I had more patterns to share, but my notebook was lost along with my shop. We'll need to come up with some patterns on our own. I've been thinking about the leather breeches that the Stormheim vrykul wear.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Left Behind
I do truly want to help you work on your tailoring, but without my patterns or my supplies, there isn't much more I can do save for teaching you what little I remember. If my memory still serves true, you're just missing a good pattern for some gloves and a hood.
