Dropped a quest - how do I find it again?

Danikat · December 2016

I was cycling through New Life Quests to try and get the activity I wanted and I accidentally dropped a different quest. The problem is I have absolutely no idea which one it was.

So, 2 questions:

1) Is there any way I can find out what the quest was?

2) Is there anything special I need to do to get it back, or will the original NPC be back where I found them with the quest marker over their head again?

I've done something similar before. On the Xbox One version of the game, there isn't any way to know which quest it was. I'm not sure about other systems. The original quest giver will be back where they started with the marker over their head though, so by backtracking through the zone, you should be able to find them with relative ease. Hope this helps!

That does help, thanks!

It's annoying that I can't go and find it again immediately, but at least I should find it again at some point. It'd be even worse if the quest marker was gone.

Most of the time, the quest giver is where you first talked to them. Of course that maybe no where near where the quest takes places. Sometimes the quest giver moves on you.

However you figure out which quest is missing is doing some detective work. Use your Journal, and in the Quests section, find the quests you have not done for an area from the following lists

The ones that get weird are the ones you pick up in a Delve usually by finding an item. Weird because it looks like you have cleared the Delve, so you may not think to go back to it.
