Vilja's ingredients list

[gawainbs]

First off: awesome mod. Vilja easily trumps every other NPC mod, let alone the Bethesda ones...

I do, however, have a problem with the Ingredients quest. I collected all the items, but Vilja doesn't react. She also stopped randomly picking up items. How do I advance this quest?

Also, the Donkey Tail quest isn't giving any waypoints, so I got no clue where to start with that one.

Any and all help for these issues is much appreciated!

Are you sure you got them all? Also, you can't steal the items or have quest copies of them in your inventory for the quest to update.

2 Mammoth Tusks
2 Fly Amanita
1 Mudcrab Chitin
3 Slaughterfish Scales
2 Taproots
1 Small Pearl

For the Donkey Tail quest you must speak to Heneri, but you haven't met her yet. You will once you got all the things on Vilja's list.

Yes, I got all of these, none of them with a "red hand" besides them, so nothing stolen. Should I just keep these in my inventory and then talk to Vilja?

Put them away into another container, exit the inventory. Retake the items again, and see if Vilja recognizes them. If not, just talk to Vilja, "traveling together..." -> "off topic - configurations and setting" -> "I believe something is wrong (bug fix attempt)" -> "I swear I have all the ingredients on your list, please check again."

What's the value returned by console if you open console, click on Vilja, and enter
getfactionrank xx043933 (replace xx with the first 2 digits of Vilja's FormID)

Putting them all in a container and taking them back fixed it. Thanks!
How do I go about the part of helping Vilja finding ingredients? Just run around with her in the wilds? Isn't there anyway to speed it up? (I'm already lvl 70...)

[wotan]

Vilja will ask for your help to get 3 different items, one at a time. I can't recall what the first is, but the second is a special mushroom that is found in a necro cave - look inside the chest. The last is a dragonbone.
There is no way to speed it up as far as I know - you just have to wait for her to tell you what she needs.

[gawainbs]

I'm close to adventuring 60 hours with her, I found Flora of Tamriel Illustrated, found all her ingredients, but the quest still shows "Help Vilja find ingredients." She hasn't talked to me about any ingredient. Should I go through her dialogues again?

[wotan]

You helped her the the last three ingredients on her list? Then you should return to the Elderegleam Sanctuary.

Thanks, the quest started updating again, so now we're going good. :-)
