did you do Westfall or Darkshore?
we don’t skip any quests that you can’t do solo, only if its completely out of the way and waste of time, so the gap will sometime need to be filled with grinding. So if you think you’re falling behind then make an effort to grind as much as you can as you move. its just how it is.
Quest item will sometime need to be put into the bank we are adding steps to remind you put away items.
