Plundered Stylist

I had problems with this one, too.

I was able to recover 4 items that were scattered over the Riftlands map, some in chests, some via fights, but I was one short.

I continued the game and was towards the end of the game, but decided to talk to Ratmir again about the quest. He'll mention that I don't have all the items, but when I left the lighthouse, there was another wandering monster stack on the island near the lighthouse. I attacked them, but didn't get the 5th item, but then I noticed a hidden cache near the stack and that's where the 5th item was.

So I'm not sure if you can try talking to him again right away, or if you need to do some other things, but try talking to him again and see if a new enemy stack appears somewhat near the lighthouse and then look for a hidden cache in a tree near the stack.

I can't get the paper for the professor to work in my game (new game start with 6250), so I decided to just skip it as I have the paper but the quest did not update. I looks like there are no more updates, so you just have to go get the paper immediately like the work around says. I didn't know this at the time and had progressed too far past to want to go back to a previous save when I found out about the issue.

Good luck hopefully my suggestion works for you!
