From this menu, you can assign your Main Pawn to earn a Pawn badge or acquire an item. The item you wish to receive must be something you have already discovered once in your playthrough.
Likewise, Pawn badges are usually set tasks to defeat certain monsters or complete certain exploration goals. You can only assign a badge if you have already started to earn it with your Main Pawn. For example, you can only set a Pawn quest to defeat a Cyclops if you have already defeated at least one in your game.
You can select either gold or an item as the quest reward.Note that this will come from your funds or inventory.You will only have to pay it once, however, even if multiple players online complete your quest.

Once a Pawn quest has been fulfilled, speak to the Pawn in question to collect your reward. Sometimes a quest will require you to collect and gift a certain item to the Pawn owner.
If this is the case, speak to the Pawn and select the option to’Give Item'. This will take you to an inventory screen where you can select the item to deliver.
You can also use this mechanic to send the other player a gift if you’re feeling generous.
