Mages Guild second quest

Azuriel02 · April 2015

Hi everyone,

I completed the first chapter of the Mages Guild questline yesterday (where you get the first tome), but since, I can't seem to find the second one. I tried to go to different town, dc-rc, but still no NPC to give it to me.

Anyone as a fix for this ?

EDIT: I'm v1 and my mages guild is level 8.

You need to wait for a while. Read or listen to the dialog. Valaste says she will need some time to decipher the text. The next step of the quest line is triggered after you reach level 10, and possibly when you reach some minimum level in the Mages' Guild skill line (from finding lore books).

Tried waiting in front of a mages guild door during several minutes, no NPC coming. I completed the first quest one or two days ago too, so I think waiting isn't the problem, is it ? :P

Thanks for trying to help tho' !

Mage guild quests are given after a certain level (Like 10 20 30 40 usually when you get the Harborage story quest)

And if the notification doesn't appear in that town, go to the next one. There are other small mages guild with nothing but store around but that is exactly where the NPC will appear to tell you to go to X town)

I "think" the next one is at level 15. The first tome/quest is in the town you start out in. The second one is the next area you go to. If you are in AD for example the first quest is in Vulkhel the second in Grahtwood. To pick it up he spawns inside the mages guild in Vulkhel. Your level is too low for him to spawn in right now for the second quest.

Guys, as I said, I'm veteran rank 1, so stop with these level issue.

I've done the Fighter's guild today without any issue, it's not my first character, it's my fourth one with which I (try to) do the guilds questline. And I never had issue finding NPC for the next quest, until this one I guess.

Somehow the mages guild-quests trigger at certain levels keeps püopping up. As far as I know this never has been the case, but it certainly is not now.

I played beta and since TU. When I returned this march I wasn't reading lore books at start. When I got the second fighters guild quest I did some research bout why I didnt had the second mages guild quest yet (I was level 11). After finding out bout the lore books, installing the add on and start reading it, I hit mages guild level 2 at level 14. As soon as I visited a town the quest was given. So it is 100% based on the mages guild level.

In the OP's case, it is a matter that he didn't do the quests. Between them is some waiting time. The exact time is unknown (most people don't spare them up), but it is likely more then a few minutes. I would suggest waiting atleast 24 hours (off course not online).

Again, as I said, I already waited more than 24 hours after completed Long Lost Lore, and since then, I've tried every Mages Guild from every city (Auridon, Grathwood, Stonefalls and someothers), there is not a single NPC giving me a quest.

Guys, Mages Guild quests are dependent on Mages Guild Rank, not Level. You get the next MG quest when you hit the next MG Rank for Ranks 1-5, no level restriction, no delay timer. If you're Rank 5+, each MG quest should follow one from the other with no breaks (aside from having to go outside the Guildhall). And the OP has already said they are V1 and Rank 8, so this problem is not related to that anyway.

Regarding the issue, there are sometimes situations where NPCs spawn slowly in heavily-populated areas. What you could try is going to the Mages Guild in a minor city (Kragenmoor in Deshaan (EP), Shinji's Scarp in Stormhaven (DC), Redfur Trading Post in Grahtwood (AD)), where Shalidor should spawn more quickly. Alternatively, you could try going directly to the Mages Guild where Valaste is waiting, which for the Rank 2 quest is Mournhold/Wayrest/Elden Root (depending on your original alliance).
