In between running these errands for Vlad, there's plenty more to see and do on the starting island. Some quests require you to find items for certain NPCs. The gnome inventor Ebik Wobblecog has three items he needs to retrieve but he's not too direct about where exactly he lost them. I was able to follow the hints to find a few of them but there was still one that eluded me no matter how hard I searched. There are some retrieval quests that require you to gather all the items together before you even realize that you're on a quest. I won't spoil these for you but you find items here and there that certain collectors will offer unique rewards for.
Other quests are more straightforward combat trials. One priestess, named Xeliea, considers the pirate skeletons walking around in a nearby graveyard to be an abomination worthy of complete annihilation. Sensing a reward in it, I'm more than happy to oblige. In fact, I bring along the entire crew that helped me topple the Gruttooth leader and, in no time at all, we've managed to collect enough bone chips for every member of the party to claim her reward.
