2Quests

That EXP is 10% of a level at Lv 31.

Each quest pays 5,530 EXP, 994 mesos and 20 Blue Potions.

Stirges in the Kerning City subway (Transfer Area, Line 1 <Area 2> and <Area 3>) drop both Stirge Wings and Stiff Feathers, and Jr. Wraiths share Line 1 <Area 2> and <Area 3>.
Grab 20 extra Tablecloths for Maya's Second Collection (Lv30) on the same trip.
Processed Wood needs Woodcrafting (Vicious, Henesys Market). 10 Processed Wood is 100 Tree Branches at Lv1, so Firewood at Woodcrafting Lv2 is faster. See the Crafting page.
Short on Stiff Feathers? Ribbon Pigs and Pigs near Henesys drop them too.
Icarus's story goes on later with In search of Wing the Fairy and Icarus and the Flying Medicine (Lv46).

Nobody has confirmed whether Alligator Skin Pouches drop only while the Balloon quest is active. Take the quest before you farm them.
