I have a few quests like these that I can't track nor quit. I've tried talking to the npc for the quest again but it doesnt give a prompt to start quest

How to know if the deckhands we find around have more potential than our current ones. Also what are the best professions and given stats for each of them?

I came back after a year and made a new file as a lightning magic user, I’m anout to awaken but have my one free stat reset. I heard of new mechanics like greasing weapons or ultimate arts finally being usable so I just wanna know what most people do and how they build when it comes to these two paths.
