if you follow the missions as handed to you then you get the item automatic as you hit level 10 and if you keep playing then you will run out of missions about level 33... which is fine if you are happy to do Pvp or repeats
thats kind of the point mate... clicking things on or off doesn't matter because the server just locks at that spot and refuses to let you change anything
the entire Temporal quest line is buggy as hell and best left for a double point weekend... once you hit level 10 [should take under an hour] just come back to it later
