Scavenger Hunt

When you speak with an NPC, they'll present a series of riddles about items they seek. Obtain these items and trade them to the NPC one at a time. For each correct item, you'll receive the message: 'Ah! Yes, this is one of the items I was looking for...' Note that you don't need to trade all items in a single visit, and the items will not be returned to you.

Below are the riddles from each NPC, grouped by location. Once confirmed, a link to the item will be provided. If a wiki page is missing, an external link to a retail wiki will be included to help you learn more about the item.
