Hah, ever play FFXI? Every quest was like that: bring me this item, I'm not going to give you any clues on where to look or how to obtain it so so you'll have to go out and visit every location and kill every monster. Oh and if a monster drops it it's probably a super rare drop so kill each one at least 500 times to be on the safe side.
Really terrible game design.
