Quests unlock when Smithing, Fletching and Runecrafting each reach level 5. Act 1 has eight quests. The current task can require an item in the bank, a newly performed recipe or a specific combat style; those are different checks.

The quest’s active panel determines which stage is accepting progress. Owning an item does not by itself prove that a separate Create action counter is complete. Misty Reconnaissance specifically combines item requirements with recipe-production goals.
Two common blocks
Pointy Preparation needs Ranged kills. A melee kill does not satisfy an objective that explicitly names Ranged. Prepare the bow, equipped ammunition and a loadout without large Ranged penalties; see ammunition and accuracy.
Boarish Bonfire needs Mackerel Bait, not cooked Mackerel. Its Cooking recipe opens at 27 and makes 20 bait from 1 Raw Mackerel at base output. The recipe has difficulty 1, so unmodified proficiency at its level-27 unlock gives 100% success. Three base crafts consume 3 Raw Mackerel and supply 60 bait, enough for the 50-item requirement with 10 left over. Recheck the displayed chance if modifiers have changed proficiency or difficulty. A Bait Box can offer another source; a random box is not a guaranteed quantity of the required bait.
Quest tools and late fights
Dungeon Breakout’s reinforced axe must be equipped to cut the second wall; owning it in the bank is insufficient. The 0.11.3 public update fixes a sale interaction that could previously block progress; use the demo update guide if an older installation behaves differently.
Treants can expose a damage problem rather than a simple level requirement. Armour and ward explains why repeated low hits can fail to break armour, and why a heavier hit can change the remainder of a fight. Keep food, runes or ammunition available throughout the quest encounter rather than assuming the submitted materials prepare the combat loadout.
