Can confirm the Ogre Cagemasters in the area will also drop the item needed for this quest, even though the game currently does not say so.
This one is not worth it. The drop rate isn't great and the mobs aren't that plentiful either. Just do one of the other quests instead.
Droprate is about average, 1 tome in about 2-3 Ogres.
In the northern quest area at about 24.0, 71.5, there's a building with 3 of them in there, though one might be stuck in the cauldron. And outside of it should be 1-2 additional.
