Ok, for this particular part of the quest line (Powering Up in Celestia), we have so far killed approximately 12 water matons and gotten 1 out of 3 drops. Water Matons are, of course, mixed in with other mobs, so we have killed more mobs than that. This is, unfortunately, all too typical of quests that require drops instead of kill counts.
It would be nice if there were a maximum number of the appropriate mob before the item dropped instead of just the random table, because randoms always leave somebody at the really horrible end. A nice, reasonable number, like 4 or 5... My daughter has far more patience than I do for this quest, when I did it, I am pretty sure I logged off and back in another time several times.
Repetitive, too, because you need the same mobs for repeat quests in the line.

Thanks for listening!
Well, Random Drops are part of the game! It just makes it more challenging, And I've never had much problems with dropping quest related Items. It just requires patience.
