Special abilities:

Most of the professions require completion of some sort of a special task (quest). Typically, your character will be required to bring a certain item to the University.
The specific quest items (Stich head, Rare mineral) found in battles or elsewhere cannot be traded or exchanged with anyone other than the character that picked them up. Death of the character carrying the quest item leads to the loss of the item, which cannot be retrieved back.
If for whatever reason you were not able to successfully bring the quest item to the university there is not need to restart your quest, simply keep searching for the required item. For example, if you found a rare mineral in battle but were not able to pick it up and bring it in, just keep battling monsters in the mines and eventually you will find another one.
