To complete the collect items from Hive Stashes quest, you need toretrieve 10 items from Hive Stashes.A single Hive Stash doesn’t have 10 items for you to grab inside, so you’ll need to break at least a few of them to get this task done.

I had to open a total of four Hive Stashes to get this quest done. Depending on your luck, it may take more or less time than that. To ensure you get it done as quickly as possible, be sure to pick up everything each Hive Stash drops, even if you don’t want to keep it. you’re able to always drop anything you don’t need as soon as you’ve picked it up to make progress in this quest.
