I think that happens only when you’ve been gifted it, not when you find it. And it doesn’t work every time. Again, I think that, don’t know it for sure. 😯

If you accept the quest CI as a gift when you are in the middle of doing a quest asking you to find that specific CI, then you will receive credit for the quest without having to explore the requested location / puzzle. Otherwise, you could have 200 of the quest CI sitting in your inventory and you will still have to follow the quest instructions and play to get the credit.

It is possible that the rules were different back in the old days 😓 but I am a relatively recent player, and the aforementioned statement applies to those playing the current game.

please feel free to correct me if the rules have changed as I am out of quests and cannot retest.
