places you can't visit or it'll block you from a quest

In Stonefalls, City at the Spire quest is blocked if you have visited Kragenmoor. At least it seems that way. Are there other quests that are blocked in the same way? I seem to recall one in Repear's March related to Moonmont?

You're not missing much. The quests that disappear if you progress in the zone's storyline are just "pointer" quests -- if you go to a place you're not supposed to be at yet (usually a place where you can't start the location's quest until you complete a prerequisite quest), you get a quest that sends you to talk to an NPC at the place you "should" be at. These quests always reward a small amount of gold and experience, and consist of being told to travel to another location and speak to an NPC there.

What Shroob said. They're pointer quests to move you along what I call the "Zone Storyline", the main quests and objectives of that area (I.E, going from Vivec's Antlers to Fort Virak). But they really aren't important at all; many times, there'll be another pointer quest to "re-route" you to the story's proper order.

I am aware that the bread crumbs quests are of little value. However, I have a 'quest' of my own to try and do them all
The New Life event is coming up and I'm on the horns of a dilemma...;) This character is trying to do all quests and the New Life has several She also doesn't go to places she's not questing in...to avoid losing out on a quest ..and she's not been everywhere she'd need to do the event.
I'm trying to get a feel for my 'risk' if I go ahead and take her there.

Just be glad you’re not super OCD and using a quest marking addon that leaves the quest marker permanently on your map until you manually hide it. For a “missed quest”. While most would not care. There are a small few losing their minds over that kind of thing... wish these kind of intro quests would just list as completed by the api if they are “missed”. Then the markers would go away when the addon queries list of completed quests.

I may just have to hope the New Life questline is the same next year

Just dont talk to anyone with a quest marker above their head. The game should not know you are there.

If that's the case, then I would have no issues, but I never was able to figure out why I was unable to get City on the Spire in Stonefalls unless it had something to do with my 'discovering' the location of the town. Its implied that finding the town is enough to block that quest.
