    Global Info
    There are 2x5 quests available on Akua.
    Each of the quest sets are specific (or somehow related) to each location you can get them.
    All of the specific locations have all their specific quests, e.g. there is no Plantation or Farm where you can only get quest A or B for this location. Means: Any Farm or Plantations can give you any of "their" 5 quests.

    Active Quests and their goals can be re-read in two locations
    1. When having accepted a quest, go to PDA (f1) > expand the TALON group > active quests are displayed there. Click on it and read the info in the description box (Pictures not yet added)
    2. When having accepted a quest, open the PDA (F1) > expand the TALON group > select "Quest log" > click on 'Activate Tutorial' button and follow the orders. You can also cancel a quest from there remotely.

    The 2nd. possibility is also given when talking to a Quest NPC > "Check open assignments". But there, only the quests of the local Quest NPC can be checked.

    Quest setup:
    - For this first release version, you can have all 10 quests at once (will change soon)
    - Quests are given randomly.
    - There IS a chance that the quest NPC does not give you another quest, even if you have "free slots".
    - The Quests do not have a "progression" or order.
    - You can do each quest infinite times at the moment (given you do not destroy the POI related to it)

    First quest I got was SUPER FERTILIZER. I went to the swamp to kill Tello-whatever-pods. Retrieving loot from them produced the 'container' sound effect instead of the organic one. Gathering vegetables for some reason also credited me with the necessary quest item.
    When I got all 5 and tried to turn in I select the 'COMPLETE QUEST Super Fertilizer' option back at the NPC but the NPC only reissues the quest and I am not credited with a completion. Then when I pick the quest items up from my inventory and place them back in the game again credits me with finding them.

    Please check the PDA (F1) > Solo Missions > expand the "TALON" group and check which quests are currently active (you can also see the "stage" they are tracked).

    Please make a screenshot of this for checking if there is a bug. Thx!

    @Vegetables > Did you harvest from a particular plant when getting a quest item (which quest item?) for a quest (which quest?)? (> please screenshot)

    The bulb plant is the vegetable that gave me credit for the quest I mentioned "Super Fertilizer" they are also by the swamp. The quest itself called for some kind of part of the animal (claw or something I cant remember) - when I kill the creature and loot it the quest item doesn't appear in the loot table however when you pick up the eggs you are credited and given the quest item.
    Not sure a screenshot would capture the issues here but in summary:

    1. Wrong sound effect when looting animal.
    2. Quest item doesn't appear on the corpse but was given to me once I looted the other items.
    3. Incorrectly given the quest item by looting nearby vegetables (bulb plant).
    4. Unable to turn quest in. Attempting to do so would cause NPC to reissue/reset quest.

    Phew.. yes, that is always a bit tricky. So the Fertilizer quest should ask for the "eggs" you get from looting the Telluropods. It MIGHT be that you had eggs in your inventory because that mechanic failed in the first case .. and by putting another item to your inventory, the check for the Fertilizer to search your inventory for "eggs" has re-triggered and awarded you the quest item .. so it possibly had nothing to do with the vegetable ..

    The second one is even more tricky.. because the game has awarded you quest items although you did not have the quest active (database entry not set). So you remember speaking to the NPC and getting the Super Fertilizer quest, correct?

    Is the quest in your Quest log? >> PDA (F1) > open the TALON group > the first entry is something about "Quest log" > highlight and press the "Activate Tutorial" button. > check the Plantation quests if it is in the list.

    (You can also go to a Planation foreman and speak to him > check open assignments. The quest "Super Fertilizer" should be in that list. If not...then I might need you savegame as this issue never happened in testing to be honest :D
