Is this possible? I always seem to mistakenly pick up this quest
and it can not be abandoned sadly.

Well - I guess if you never go to Auridon, Glenumbra, or Stonefalls, you'd be able to avoid it. That's a problem though, since those are the "intermediate" areas; I guess you could spend some time leveling in Cyrodiil (assuming you want to mess with pvp), and then go to the next-up areas.

I just get to a point in the MQ where I have to wait until a girl gets some levels which will enable her to get through whatever quest is giving her issues (lag.... due to satellite....) - and if I get tired enough of messing with it, I just ignore it completely.

Yes, as far as I know if you refuse to talk to the Hooded Figure, you won't pick up the Main Quest and go to Coldharbor.

You don't have to do the Main Quest, but then you won't level up the Soul Magic skill line. If you want to go to Coldharbour, you need to teleport to someone who is there.

Porting to ANY base game zone will cause a messenger to appear, and give you the, "meet with the hooded figure," quest. At which point, nope. Also, worth noting, the quest will begin when they bark at you, before they initiate dialog, as I recall. So, you really can't avoid it.

My advice? Run it. There's 11 skill points in there, along with a justification for you returning from the dead at will, and using wayshrines to beam around.

I'm not averse to running it. I was just pointing out the only way I've seen to avoid it, per the original question.

The courier will find you in any base game zone (except Cyrodiil and maybe Cold Harbour.) You'll run across the quest in any of the 15 original alliance zones.

The main quest line gives you a bunch of skill points, which is the main reason people do it.

Oh. Hmmm. I guess I haven't ever gone to a zone elsewhere without having it active already. Well.... that's actually kind of counter to the whole TES "culture". But of course, les temps passent, les temps changent. And really, that's the main reason I have for playing an MMO - it's not static....

It is quick to burn through, just have something else to do while the prophet blabs. Get your skill points, soul assault, and access to the achievement furnisher for completing it~

jedtb16_ESO

....so just leave it in your quest log and ignore it? Or do you desperately need that last spot to stack completed dailies before certain events?

(honestly, having the quest in your log ignored is better - that way you don't have the questgiver popping up constantly and bugging you to talk to him. I think.)

I only accept her so I don't have to hear from her again. Just like a little child, never stops until hearing Yes. LOL.

What the hell is up with the center text and the idiotic arrows? Are you 12?

Do the MQ. Get the skill points and some actual decent jewelry you can break down for xp.

Sacrifice the Redguard and smoke yourself a cigar.
