Each member of the Addams family can be assigned to perform a character-specific action, whether Gomez fencing with the knight statue or Morticia shapening a simple ball of yarn. These actions only take a few minutes to complete, and you are awarded with an item and some spirits. Most of the items that you receive from completing quests are actual crafting materials, so you are going to need a lot of them in the long run. Be sure to do as many actions as possible, and queue them up whenever they finish.
