"Quest Completed - Potential Remains"
Some quests show Quest Mastered when I'm done and have the Ulukai symbol on them. Others are completed by say "potential remains" but some of them I can't for the life of me figure out what that potential would be. For example, the one in Emea for retrieving the artifact. There's only one thing you can do, and that's bring it back to the village. I've completed the village's entire storyline and it still just says potential remains. What else could there be?

Sometimes you get quests like "collect resource XY" and you can finish them with 5 of that resource. If you want, you can come back later and fill them up to 10/10 for "potential"..

Yea and I've done that for some of them but others just seem stuck as "potential" with no way to master it, as far as I can see

In some quests you can pickup stuff which is generated over time. You can repeat this and theoretically get these endless over time. Like in Desan.

What's the thing to pick up with the artifact quest? I have gone back to the lake and see nothing else at the bottom that I can interact with

Can you share a sceenshot of this questline for me to properly respond if I see Potential?

Some of the ones that have me scratching my head:
1) Convincing Marzo to refill the lampe pool
2) Knocked out extra senecta till the bar was full
3) Luring one female ventilope only half fills the progress bar in Sappa

Each of these are marked as "Potential Remains" but nothing seems to be available atm so I figured I'd just need to wait and/or progress other storylines

EDIT: So it seems the "Potential Remains" stays on the objective until the quest stage is complete even if you've done everything - just fill the progress bar completely and ignore the tag. Progress the story and it'll eventually turn into a mastered tag. As for #3 - remember that the game likes to make you repeat the same action to gain extra progress

Yeah, this is driving me crazy. I'm just about at endgame (got all the daromons and white helidium). Everywhere EXCEPT Kizaar and Desan say "no missions available" but lots of specific quests say "potential remains" and yet seem to have no way to continue. I think the game is bugged.

The Garandorphobia quest in Bidaa shows "destroy drills" and "train garondars" as having potential, but I've already destroyed all the drills. There's no more quests for further garondars.

In Sapaa, for Explosive Idea, it says "gather materials/ingredients" has potential, but I have extra of those in my inventory and it won't let me turn them in to anyone. Even though "explosion damage" isn't maxed.

Freedom in Desan says potential remains, even though I've cleared all the bases and rescued everyone. Toxic Humanity says gather ingredients / heal w/ potions have potential, but I can't find any more injured Nom-Noms, and it won't let me deposit algae.

In Kizaar, Romantic Dining won't let me deposit additional morags, and In the Mood for Love says bring Makaari to cage still has potential.

Pretty annoying.

Edit: I triggered Okastok. After the cutscene, "Romantic Dining" now shows mastered status. Everything else remains.

Yes it might be well a display issue - for your inner soul you should keep going on as you know you have done all.
