Hello all. I just have a question about Vilja in Oblivion and her quest to gather ingredients for her potion. Is there some special trick I missed to get her to gather the ingredients? I've been doing the fighter's guild quest for a few ingame days now and we've been travelling cross country so she can get the stuff she needs. Every so often we'll stop somewhere and I'll send her off to gather stuff on her own. The problem is that a few days have gone by and she's not collected anything? Is this just a really time consuming quest or am I missing something? Thank you for any responses!

If you are in an area where she can get ingredients she needs, she will gather them on her own. You will not actually see this, but she will often mention in dialog, "Guess what! I just found some of the ingredients I need!". And yes, this may take a while; Vilja is a long term companion, so are her quests. On occasion she will need your help, you will definitely know since once she has asked you she will nag you incessantly until you come through (I've had to tell her to stop talking for a while because of this).
Telling her to gather ingredients is entirely different, you will see her wander off "collecting"; what she gets is somewhat random and may or may not be of any use. (If you are an archer you can tell her to collect arrows after a battle, she is quite good at this.)

Thank you very much for your response. It sounds like it would be better to recruit her before doing the main quest then. Good info!

For me Vilja adds so much to the game that I wouldn't play without her, so going to meet her is one of the first things I do with a new character. Cyrodiil is quite lonely without her.
