Quest item

Quest item is an item class for items related to quests; they may be required to progress the quest or a reward for completing a quest or objective, such as killing a specific unique enemy.

Quest items cannot be traded or placed in a stash. They can be dropped on the ground; if they lose the item by changing instances the player may be required to return to the item's source, monster, or NPC to obtain it again.
