Thinking about it some more, I realize a very simple fact about this skill. The potential applications are overpowered sure, and even more so at higher levels probably, when the restrictions on what she can use it on get eased perhaps.
But, in terms of rarity and uniqueness, solely from those perspectives, isn't it less impressive than Claus's auto skill?
Tierra recognizes how valuable they are, because this skill already exists...just as three separate skills instead of one combined version. In exchange, Liz seems to have some limitations on the category of things she can use it on, at least initially.
From that perspective, Claus's skill is a truly unique skill. Nobody has it, nobody recognizes it, and for years it was thought of as useless, even by it's own user. Put three people together that have each of the component skills of Quest Marker, and have them compare notes and you can approximate what Liz does.
It's still overpowered and impressive, I just thought it was interesting how the presentation differs.
