First Mage and Fighter Guild quests

I started a new character this morning and saw something different. The first quests "Long Lost Lore (Mage)" and "Anchors from the Harbour (Fighter) are now showing as level 4 (instead of level 8).

That is funny since both "invitation"s are shown as level 5 !
During the afternoon of Loredas, 6 Sun’s Dawn 2e578 a big piece of Aetherius fell to Nirn. It was the first major piece of Aetherius to fall on Nirn in more than five hundred years. It scattered around the world as millions of shards. It was rapidly documented by Lady Cinnabar of Taneth in her pamphlet Aetherial Fragments that "... when three shards meet, they re-form into a silvery prism by unknown process and confer the power unlocked by the merger to a nearby being." The Order of the Black Worm, commonly known as the Worm Cult, reappeared in Tamriel shortly thereafter and some of its members are avidly searching said shards.
In the last week of First Seed 2e579, an arcane explosion occurred in the Imperial City — a night of storms, and trembling terrain. They named it the "Soulburst". That day Emperor Varen Aquilarios disappeared without a trace. His wife, Clivia Tharn, ascended to the Ruby Throne as Empress Regent under the guidance of the Necromancer Mannimarco. Ushering a time of increased instability within the Empire of Cyrodiil which finally grew into “The Three Banners War”.

    Is your character by chance lvl4?
    It's a bug that quests which can scale to your level always show your level, even if you are below the minimum level of the quest.

    Yes, my character is level 4. Will it adjust correctly when I reach level 8 ? And still show level 8 when I reach level 9 !
    When did the bug start ?

    If the quest requires you to zone into a solo dungeon, that solo dungeon will scale to your level.

    For quests that scale (like fighters / mages guild, main quest, group dungeons, ...) it works like that:
    - you are below the minimum level => quest shows your level, enemies are at the minimum level of the quest, so higher than you
    - you are at the minimum level => quest shows your level, enemies have your level
    - you are higher than the minimum level and lower than level 50 => quest shows your level, enemies have your level
    - you are veteran rank and lower than the maximum level for the quest => quest shows level 50, enemies have your level
    - you are higher than the maximum level => quest shows lvl 50, enemies have veteran rank 12

    Hadn't played for a while. Didn't remember that.

    However I feel that a quest should never show below minimum level requirements. Because when you start a quest below level requirement you have to stop a some point because of a subquest that does not scale down ...

    Agreed. I started a thread on this last week if you'd be interested in adding your views:
