Not an unusual occurence, Eyeris. The set you combined for the artifact most likely resulted from gifts and freebies you got while visiting. Even though you have completed that set once, the game will still ask you to find those items as your game progresses. It doesn't let you skip a quest just because you already combined the set. I have many sets that I combined more than once, due to gifts/visits.

Some people find it best not to combine a set until it turns up in quests. Then the game ought to credit you with the item/s you already have, so you end up playing fewer games for the eventual points earned.

However, and this is a big one, in my experience, particularly with puzzle quests, too often the reverse happens, and you have an awful time repeating puzzles or quest rooms to get an item you already own. Drives you batty. Most often, seems to happen with non-giftable items, but occasionally also with giftable ones. A good strategy in latter case is to put it on your wish list. Once gifted to you, the item is credited and you move on to the next search, with a sigh of relief!

Much rarer is when you have searched for a set once and the game directs you weeks later to search for it again. This has happened to me once or twice.
