Item-gathering quests can often be finished by combining items
Early on, you’ll run into quests that require you to turn in items you won’t find in the world. You acquire these by combining items, but sometimes the quest description doesn’t make that clear. I spent several minutes in an early quest trying to find an item that could only be made by combining ingredients, but didn’t realize that until my aforementioned quest guide pawn kept leading me to the same area where there were no items to gather. So if you feel like you’re missing something in an item-gathering quest, open your inventory, pick relevant items and use the Combine option to see if you have the right materials to finish a quest.
