This is one of the things that makes the game seem really limited to me... It's really apparent how clunky it is... I was doing all crafter relics last week, and I had to buy a level 1 mainhand for all my crafter and gathrerer jobs and keep them in my inventory for me to turn the tool in. Stuff like this shouldn't be necessary. But they are getting better! In that same relic quest, some item turn ins was automatic, I didn't have to click on that little turn in window to give the items to the npc, it happened just by talking to her.
