Must you bother me? What are you, some sort of waterfreak? Faundren-eyed pilgrim? Arconaut? Make yourself useful and fetch me a knickknack from one of the caves, then. I may "reward" you.
Fetch Argyve a Knickknack is one of the quests available in 
Joppa, and is one of the entry points to the main questline of Caves of Qud.
To complete it, the player must obtain a "knickknack" and bring it to 
Argyve.
Although he suggests travelling to the 
Rust Wells, the 
salt marsh or the 
salt dunes to get the knickknack, he will accept any artifact that requires identification. This includes some artifacts that the player can start with or find in Joppa.

Notes
 |
This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary. |
- The rarity or value of the artifact given to Argyve has no effect on the rewards given. Thus, it is a good idea to give a fairly useless artifact, such as a
metal folding chair. - He also accepts broken artifacts.
- This quest serves the purpose of teaching the player that not all quests need to be completed immediately or in the way that the quest-giver suggests.
- The bauble that the Mechanimist convert gives you on accepting the quest O Glorious Shekhinah! is often eligible as a knickknack for this quest.
