I've heard of two other people with this problem, it seems to be a quest bug.

Only way to fix afaik is to drop and start the task over. Then you should get drops successfully.

No, did not work. I tried lots of thing. keeping out ppl in group that got it already. keeping out ppl in group that got same task at same step. keeping out ppl in group that are not that far progressed. Nothing, nothing, nothing. regetting task, nothing.

maybe the ppl that got it are very lucky, cause its rare? At least not dropping for me, like other quest needed drops were.

And here comes the solution!!!

Drop task and put all items you got into bank. so it does not update. IT HAS TO BE the first update. Then first mob dropped 2 of them. for both taskneeders.

Update, 4 for 4 from guardians at entrance. I bet the drops are defined by the area, rather than mob type. Also got first page from an evokes at entrance

Also still looks like its best to get it first, for best drop rate.

On step 2 Collect 1 Research Notes 0/1 Kor-Sha Laboratory
Zam : In Kor-Sha Laboratory, kill some a worker's and loot Research Notes.
EQ Resources: Loot Research Notes from a Di`zok adherent or aruspex
I have completed all the steps and have difficulties getting this note. Killing multi-amount of mobs and could not get it drop. Here is the way to do it:

1) Put all your items from this quest in the bank.
2) Remove the quest and re-request it from Ingisitorma Varro
3) Zone into the Lab, through the door, not the cave
4) Kill the guardians at the zone-in. There are 2 of them. The Research Note should drop from them, loot it.
5) Go back to bank and collect back all the quest items you put there.
6) Hand each of them to a pet, and when you get it back it will update the task
7) Do the combine to get the Research Logbook
8) Go back to the Lab and redo step 1:
Kill some of the Kar`Zok 0/2 Kor-Sha Laboratory
In Kor-Sha Laboratory, kill Kar`Zok Sarnaks (green) until the task updates
9) Then hand-in and hail to complete the task.

The quest seems to be bugged, that the first Research Notes has to be the first drop (first step) you do. If you do other step first (once the task is updated once), you might not be able to get the Step 2 Research Note.

Hope this help.

1st one drops right at the door entrance also, one from a guardian and one from the di'zok dragoon that is there.
