I cut the tree down to get to the witch hut, and the quest completed when I went into the house, but did not complete in my quest log. When I exited the hut the tree was back and now I cannot even leave that area. It will not let me cut the tree down. What am I missing? I don't have any recipes to create any potion as of yet.......

I've only been playing for 20 minutes and there's a bug in the adventurer's guild when I get to cutscene 3

how to use the hammer to add plate to armour ?

When you prestige in games like these, you usually get a noticeable boost in stats so to make it worthwhile all your effort and time spent. 10% on a single stat is not it.

Took the quest, spoke to rocky, went outside to see the axe but no exclaimation mark nor able to pick up from 3 different angles.
