Quest Journal: Time Limits and Two Early Walkthroughs

Read the current objective before travelling

A walkthrough should match the quest's current stage, not just its name. Before heading to a marker, note the requested item, person or action. Selecting an objective is useful for navigation, but it does not prove that every prerequisite has already been completed. When a hand-in fails, compare the exact requested item name with the item in your inventory before attempting a complicated workaround.

CAPCOM warns that some quests progress automatically as time passes. Do not assume an unfinished quest waits indefinitely while you sleep, shop or explore. Conversely, this warning does not establish one universal deadline for every quest. Follow the objective's own context instead of inventing a fixed number of safe rests.

Medicament Predicament in Melve

Speak to Flora outside Runne's Apothecary and accept her request for Fruit Roborant. Make the curative with Dried Fruit and Greenwarish or Morningtide, or use the documented shop option at Runne's Apothecary, listed at a 600 G base price. Give Flora the finished Fruit Roborant to complete the request.

The published reward reference lists 500 XP, 100 G and a Ring of Exultation. The ingredients are not the hand-in item. Use the Fruit Roborant recipe when the correct intermediate ingredient is already available. This is a short optional task, not a requirement to buy every item sold in Melve.

The Provisioner's Plight at Borderwatch Outpost

Speak to Geoffrey at Borderwatch Outpost, then follow the quest objective to Markus. Prepare three Harspuds and two Salubrious Draughts for the requested supplies. One Apple combined with one Greenwarish makes a Salubrious Draught; for the two requested draughts, the reference route therefore uses two of each ingredient.

Deliver the requested supplies to Markus, then return to Geoffrey rather than assuming the delivery alone finishes the quest. The documented completion rewards are 400 XP, 900 G and one Dried Fruit. Check the journal after each hand-in. Do not replace Harspud with a similarly named dried or ripened item unless the objective explicitly accepts it.

Pawn quests are a separate system

Pawn quests are tasks and rewards associated with your Pawn, set through the relevant Riftstone system. CAPCOM's manual explains that nominated Gold or item rewards are taken from your holdings when assigned. This is not the same as selecting a story objective in the journal, and assigning a task does not instantly complete a world quest for the Arisen.

For companions and their behavior, use the Pawn guide. For a supply run, use crafting and the route checklist. These two early walkthroughs are source-reviewed examples, not a claim that this page covers every quest, alternate outcome or current-version reward variation.
