You misunderstood me. It does show a tooltip when you find an item. No problem there.
It doesn't show the item's properties in the quest screen. Like when you are offered the quest...
I hover over the said item in the reward section in quest description and nothing shows.
There is also no tooltip when you actually earn the reward and you are given like 3 choices: 300 gildar, a sword or 50 influence for example.
I wanna know what the sword does if I'm gonna pick it over 300 gildar.
