It is not uncommon to not find the quest object but yeah 10 times is rather excessive. I often play without talismans and never had such a dry streak, usually within the 3rd time if it doesn't appear right off.

If you have a talisman that increases chances of finding a collection item, I'd suggest using it to avoid the frustration. I think even using the lowest one (the All-Seeing Eye) may help, definitely using a Seeker's Star will.

If you don't have one or want to craft one, you can try hiring a ranger friend   (from your friend list the one with orange white shield thing next to their name) and click on the quest, let it take you to the puzzle, then click on the quest item in the scroll bar, then press play. It might help you win the iem it might not, but hopefully it does help some. Good luck!
