Suggestion: a way to remove companion quests from quest journal

allochthons · June 2023

With 6 companions now, their loyalty quests are really starting to clutter up quest journals. Especially on alts where many of us will never do more than the original acquisition quest.
Please give us a way to remove their loyalty quests from the list of 25 quests (which also needs to be expanded, OMG).
Perhaps under the "Let's talk about our partnership" companion conversation.
"Let's talk about that later, Companion" perhaps, to hide it from the log, and a "Hey, what was that about <Aurelia | your idiot brother | Brisha>?" to pick it back up and put it back in the log?

PLEASE.

You could just not pick up the quests? Sure, your Companion on those alts you never play will have the quest marker over their heads forevermore, but it's still an option.

I'd like a way to archive these types of quests. Cadwell's Silver and Gold come to mind because these stay active until you complete the story quests in several zones.

I love the idea of the option to say "Let's talk about this later," to avoid taking the quest. The companions don't let you work on their skills and gear until you pick up their rapport quest if its available, making it be you have to switch to another character if you want to avoid getting the quest while managing the companion's loadout.

If a companion's rapport drops below the threshold to offer a quest, it will become unavailable until their rapport is raised again. If you don't want to accept the quest at the moment, you can annoy the companion until the marker goes away, then raise their rapport again later.

If you want to change their skills or gear, you can just accept the quest, make your changes, then abandon the quest.

With so many played characters, the change in rapport level for the companion quests meant that I immediately had some ready to do on 5 or 6 characters. It did take some time, but I didn't have a problem doing them all yesterday.

In response to the suggestion of not picking the quest up, I'd rather pick up the quest and not do it than leave the quest marker on the companion.

So what's wrong with just doing their quests? Obviously if you're running them enough for their rapport to rise to the point of offering their quest, then what's 15 minutes to run their quests? Honestly, I think Azandar's quests are the most annoying because of how lengthy they are.

It's the quest markers that prompted me to make this post. They really irritate me.

This isn't a bad idea, but is a PITA work around. And on the new companions (is it retroactive?) the higher your rapport, the faster they level.

6 companions x 4 quests x 20 toons x 15 min per quest? Is roughly 96 hours.
I only actively work on rapport on my main toon, but most of my toons now have at least the 2nd quest activated, just from crafting, entering outlaw refuges, picking up psijic portals...

Bumping this request, with the huge number of dailies in the Night Market.

I agree, I have no intention of doing the companion quests again and there is this arrow over Bastian’s head because he got enough rapport to start the quest. It would be nice to choose ignore for it or something in the quest journal, just like it would be nice to do so for the Cadwell’s quests.

I think all quests should be able to be hidden, not just companion quests. This will allow us to postpone certain quests and focus on priority ones (and to remember which is which).

For that matter, we should be able to hide unwanted collectibles too.
