Knowledge stars are for pawns - so the pawn needs to see the key part of the quest - this might include witnessing you feeding the cyclops, finding goblins for the cyclops, finding the other bandits etc - they should comment when they discover something new.

Possibly doing quests too quickly, ferrystoning, or jumping straight to a destination without going through the treks might cause you to miss something.
