^ What the others have said - quest item count# only matters what you have in your inventory, not what you've stored away. Inventory management is, sadly, one of the weak points of this otherwise great game. I platinumed trophied it last year and I'm seriously contemplating deleting my save and starting back from zero.

Your level is fine, but if you really feel like grinding some more, go for it - personally I felt underpowered too during my first playthrough and was actually close to level 80 before I finally had the balls to tackle the dragon, haha. Don't worry about being a noob, everybody starts out at some point.

Re: Lost Faith, I'm assuming you're talking about the DLC quest (integrated in the game if you have Dark Arisen), not the original Lost Faith quest (which is very early in the game). You need to complete the Nameless Terror quests, and yes, iirc the map isn't that much help - just look up the wiki page for it (http://dragonsdogma.wikia.com/wiki/Nameless_Terror), the map locations are helpfully circled for you. Be aware that the locations don't always trigger when you visit them, this appears to be a common complaint - if some part of the quest doesn't seem to be activating, just return to city, sleep, and revisit the location the next day.

Good luck, and have fun!
