rabidmyers

yo i started a new character and i took the same steps as i do on any new toon and joining the mage's and fighter's guild in stonefalls and i noticed that valaste and sees-all-colors are no longer present in their respective guilds along with the writ tutorial people, uhh millenith and the other dark elf dude in mage's guild

is this a bug from the new update or did they get moved or something?

From the U39 patch notes:

As part of an ongoing initiative to improve the initial experience of the early game and make it less overwhelming with "endless quest pin spam", we’ve revised many quests in major cities to show up later along your leveling path so as not to misdirect the unwary. The changes made include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following broad categories listed below. As always, each location may have its own special requirements (such as cities that need to be saved and/or zone story quests that need to be completed). Please note that if you acquire the quests any other way (such as being shared, or through the Crown Store for a prologue, etc.) then you should be able to continue them normally.

• The Prophet and other Base Game main quest bestowers will now only appear in Chapter and DLC cities after you are at least level 5 and have completed the first quest in the respective Zone Story.
• Story quests (not “join the guild” quests) offered by the Fighters and Mages Guild will now only be visible to players level 5 or above.
• Reworked Fighters Guild bestowals in all zones so that Bera Moorsmith does not chase you down anymore, instead waiting patiently by the guild entrance to flag you down.
• Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood vector quests now require you to be at least level 5. These quests are still available at any level within their respective zones.
• A Room to Spare (Housing Introductory quest) flyers are now only visible to players level 6 or higher. The quest is now also more consistently available across appropriate locations.
• Sorinne Gerard no longer yells at you to learn how to play Tribute in places outside of High Isle before you reach at least level 6.
• Availability of crafting certification quests has been standardized at level 6 in most locations.
• Bestowers for delve, world event, and world boss daily quests will now only be visible to players level 7 or above (or if they are shared with you, as noted above).
• Bolgrul, the Undaunted daily questgiver, will now only be visible to players level 7 or above.
• Daily quest bestowers from the Fighters and Mages Guild will now only be visible to players level 7 or above.
• Bestowers for Battleground and Undaunted introductory quests are now only visible to players level 10 or above.
• Bestowers for zone vectoring quests (such as Craglorn) will now only be visible to players level 15 and above.
• Bestowers for prologue quests will now only be visible to players level 15 and above.
• Bestowers for Trial introductory quests will now only be available to players level 50 and above in cities; you can still get them in the trials themselves at any point.

Changed when you can do these quests. Have to be higher levels now as posted above.

Hmph. Maybe it makes start bit less hectic for a new player. But I recently spent bunch of early levels for my arcanist just by unlocking fg, mg, undaunted, db, crafting writs, psijic portals, companions and other stuff. (In whatever order.)
