"The Gift of Giving" side quest in Dragon's Dogma 2 is started near The Gracious Hand in the Vernworth slums at night. A girl by the name of Daphne will be seeking help in getting a present for those that care for her at the orphanage.

What you need to do next is prepare a Bunch of Flowers for Daphne. You can make the Bunch of Flowers item by combining Noonbloom and Sunbloom flowers. Or you can also combine the Moonglow and Sunbloom as well if you have them ready and available. Go ahead and deliver the flowers to Daphne, she’ll express her gratitude before asking another favor of you.

The Spell She Seeks

Daphne was told about a magick spell that will allow you to meet with whoever you like. She will need a silver stone to put under her pillow before saying the magick words to the spell. Daphne would like some help with finding the stone as she can’t find it herself. The silver stone in question is silver ore, and it’s obtainable via a vendor or a mining node spread throughout the game. She thanks you for the silver and will divulge some more information as to why she would want to have such a spell at her disposal. Make sure to return in a few days’ time to see how her quest had gone.

River Madness

When you come back to visit Daphne, you’ll find out that the river nearby is filthy. The church uses gold ore to purify the river, so they may use it to make holy water. Daphne will then ask if you’d be willing to bring back some gold ore to her. Bring back two pieces of the gold ore to progress the quest further. Gold ore can be bought from a shop, but if you’re looking to save money, it can be mined as well.

When you give Daphne the gold ore she’ll ask for some more help. The river has been getting much worse and people nearby are getting sick from it. She asks you to bring back some medicine to help the priests with treating the sick folk. You will need to either craft or buy 5 Detoxifying Decoctions and bring them back to Daphne. They are 500 gold a piece and sold at Philbert’s Sundries in the Merchant Quarter.
