I don't make this mistake frequently, but I just finished off all but the final "Talk to Shifty Tom" in the quest for that dungeon.

I am fairly certain I have to run the entire dungeon again however and it will start from the beginning. I would really like to have a way (even if I have to travel to the dungeon overland) to finish the quest without having to run the entire dungeon.

Please add a way to do this in the game ZOS.

    ZOS already increased the timer before you're kicked from a dungeon when you're the last one left. This alone solved the issue of players not having enough time to turn in the quest.

    Mistakes happen, but this really seems like a non-issue. Especially when every other aspect of the quest is cleared with the exception of having that final interaction with the NPC.

    Favorite Foods and Potions
    https://media.giphy.com/media/3otPoTggaYFNd1FdAI/giphy.gif
    • Parse Food for PvE:(DPS) Ghastly Eye Bowl (increases Max Magicka by 4592 and Magicka Recovery by 459 for 2 hours).
    • Gold/Purple Food for Sorc PvP and Meme Tanking:(PvP) Clockwork Citrus Filet (increases Max Health by 3326, Health Recovery by 406 [useful if stage 1 vampire], Max Magicka by 3080, and Magicka Recovery by 338 for 2 hours). Witchmother's Potent Brew (Increase Max Magicka by 2856, Max Health by 3094, and Magicka Recovery by 315 for 2 hours.
    • Trash Potions when feeling cheap: Regular CP150 Essence of Magicka pots that I obtain frequently from playing the game or Crown Tri-Restoration Potion obtained from dailies.
    • Crafted Potions: Essence of Spell Critical (Bugloss, Lady's Smock, and Water Hyacinth). Without magelight this is my primary means of obtaining Major Prophecy on my Sorc, which increases my Spell Critical Rating. This also heals and restores magicka. Essence of Immovability (Columbine, Corn Flower, and Wormwood). I use this in PvP, since this gives me stealth detection, knockback immunity, and restores magicka (better to use it when competent allies are nearby, since it might reveal that you are surrounded by multiple players in stealth and you will not have an emergency pot available after use). Essence of Invisibility with only 2 ingredients (Blue Entoloma, Namira's Rot, Nirnroot, or Spider Egg). I use this in PvE content that requires stealth and if I need more speed I'll use Rapid Maneuver before using the potion. Essence of Invisibility with 3 ingredients (Blessed Thistle, Blue Entoloma, and Namira's Rot). Very useful in PvP alongside the vampire Dark Stalker passive, since you'll be invisible, ignore movement speed penalty while in Crouch, and you'll have a 30% movement speed boost from Major Expedition (I always have this slotted when riding from point A to B in PvP land, since gankers are always lurking). My templar/arcanist will mostly use Essence of Health (Tri-Stat Potion) Ingredients: (Mountain Flower, Columbine, and Bugloss).

    I agree with Artim here. I expect it is a major issue to change almost every dungeon to make this happen for what is likely a very rare occurrence where a player makes such a mistake.

    It would not be a "major issue". Simply give us the option to turn in a completed quest just outside the door or right when we zone in.

    It may not happen a lot, and never for most who have done those quests a long time ago, but I am still running many alts through and it does happen.

    Yes, I should have checked better, but don't reset the stupid quest at the very least!

    Good idea! As I quite often forget to complete the quests, as I check the loot and open the transmutes.

    Besides that, there's also sometimes a bugged dungeon where the NPC(dread cellar) to turn in the quest won't appear. Or where the dialogue is too long, and you will already be booted before you can even turn in the quest.

    PS: Please remove overly long dialogue from dungeon quest chains! Darkshade caverns, vaults of madness, etc. (or massively speed these up)

    An option would be to ask any friends or guildmates that might run the dungeon for whatever reason, to add you to the group after they are done. That way you can port in to the dungeon and in most cases use the portal to get to the last boss area for the quest turn in.

    As long as two players from the original group stay grouped, they will not be kicked out of the instance and can add others for whatever reason.

    omg, i do this more often than i want to think about - leaving group and zoning out without turning it. it would be brilliant to allow the quest giver at the start of the dungeon to also allow quest turn-in, if previously done. right now, even though the same person is at the start and the end, they only accept the turn-in at the end. seems like a simple if..then logic update...

    If you’re quick about it you can try PMing someone from the group, especially if it seemed like some of them queued together. I’ve had someone pm me before to get back into the dungeon to finish a quest and luckily I was still there since I was hanging out with someone I queued with.
    It would be nice to be able to turn in the quest at the beginning like with trials (at least you used to be able to… I’m not sure it’s working now) though.

    That requires work to be done for every dungeon and some of them twice, as there are two versions. That is major work for a rare occurrence when a player makes a mistake, and there is already a workaround for correcting that mistake.

    Any changes/updates/enhancements require work to be done.

    Though one really simple way would be to make a sign in the Undaunted Enclaves that allowed us to finalize the quest there.

    BTW, an even more annoying one is where the area you have to do one nearly final step will kill you if you hang around too long, though you have to wait long enough for the portal to the start to come up and you must have turned in the quest step before taking that one. (Sorry I don't have all the names down.)
