[HELP] Cannot start final Mages Guild Quest

dvillar · July 2015

I have a VR1 Templar for the Ebonheart Pact. I understand that the final quest should be started at the Mages Guild in The Rift and I need to have done all the prior quests and a Mages Guild level of 5.

I have done all prior quests and have a Mages Guild level of 7 but I still can't find an NPC that leads to the start of the final quest at this location.

Have I got the requirements wrong or is there currently an issue?

*Apologies, turns out I did not post this as "Ask A Question" but as a Discussion.

There appears to be an issue with regards to this quest, as I'm seeing it as an issue in quite a few places, but ZOS have not made any official comments on it yet. The first time I saw this mentioned, I tagged in @ZOS_TristanK ... I wonder if he has any updates?

Update:

Shalidor has finally shown up. I was doing Cadwell's Silver and I had just passed the Mages Guild in Wayrest. If you are having a similar issue I would suggest passing through the different guilds for the other two pacts.

Hope this helps.

I am vr3 and mages guild lvl6 and I am still unable to get the trigger for the last mages guild quest. I am AD and can see Valaste in the mages guild in Rawl'kha but when I talk to her all she says is " adept. very glad to see you again. I have translated the final book and we are ready to monkey rum butter". And that's it. Nothing else happens. I have visited Vulkhiel guard a few times now just to see if I can pick up Shalidor somewhere along the way but nothing.. Getting frustrated. Any suggestions

It would be nice if Zenimax actually officially responded to the issue.

Copying the answer I received from ESO customer service today on the Mages Guild last quest bug -
-
"My name is Matt. This is a bug at the moment. It happens when the Mages Rank from the game, desyncs from the Mages Rank displayed in the user interface.

It's an issue the developers are aware of at the moment and will have a resolution for in a future patch or hotfix. Unfortunately there isn't a work around or in-game solution that can be done in the interim.

Thankfully it's not something that stops progress entirely, so you can come back to it when it's resolved."

Reading between the lines this sounds like this is something that probably won't get fixed very soon.

I'm with AD vet 2 and mages guild level five on the skills page. I am having problems finding the final quest or NPC to start the quest too.

This BUG has still yet to be fixed?

On a a new character. This final quest is not popping up at all, for quite a while now. I'm now VR4, and still has not appeared (Aldmeri).

Can't find Shalidor at ANY of the Mages guild quarters in Aldmeri
