@Arktic: No, not what was said at all. If the quest says to take the item to some NPC, you need to take it to some NPC.
What the system is for is a quest like this: you discover some item that drops, and instead of standing around going "I can't figure out what to do with this, I better bring it to some specific NPC that, despite the fact that I haven't got a clue about it, I know precisely who does." -- you instead do this: "Ah, this widget seems to indicate that these mobs share some connection with the centaur tribe to the north. Perhaps I should head north and investigate this further." So, you take on the quest and head north without going to talk to some NPC because you're not simply a meatheaded, axe-swinging doofus, but in fact are an intelligent adventurer capable of deciding what to do next in the field, without consulting some NPC in some distant town.
