This side quest spans over the course over the game. Various Non-Player Characters will ask you for various items, and after giving them said items, they give you something in return.

This ointment can be given to one of the priests in the Sun Temple, for which he will give you ★ Hair Tonic in return.
The Old Hermit takes the cake, giving you a ★ Little Wooden Key, of which you have then have to find the lock to put it in.
