Bug Hircine's Gift NPC keeps offering quest once completed.

PC EU Megaserver. Character: Tariel Lithaldoren Dominion Nightblade.

Had Were wolf skill line a long while ago but cured as skill line was lacklustre. Was rebitten today to check werewolf changes with Wolfhunter and played through Hircine's Gift (quest obtained from shrine). Quest provided Werewolf skill line as expected.

When returned to Rawl'Kha an NPC appeared near the wayshrine and re-offered the quest. I wasn't sure if completing the quest from here would work so did quest again. NPC still remains at wayshrine and offers Hircine's Gift quest again.

That's because the initial disease isnt removed when you complete the quest and get Lycanthropy, so the quest is still active. I've got a character that has the same issue and the bug has been reported repeatedly, but it inst a crown store issue so isnt on anyone's radar.

The crown store version skips the first disease and the quest...

I mentioned this the other day as well on the general forum. This has apparently been an issue for years with no fix. You would think they would want to fix this given that they are promoting becoming a werewolf right now but nope, if a player bites you and you become a werewolf you will get the quest to become a werewolf again and again until you get "cured" by a priest.

Yep, you just ignore it,
but it is also probably why the devour skill point isnt getting returned if you got bitten before update 19...

That has nothing to to with the devour skill point. None of my werewolves got it back and that was a mix of wolves bitten by other players (for which the disease is not removed) and those bitten by werewolf spawns (for them the disease is removed).

To the OP, you can ignore it or use it to level the WW skill line quickly without needing to feed. Someone also mentioned that you can cure the disease explicitly without curing lycanthropy. That would remove the quest giver. But I have never tried that.

Many thanks for this suggestion. I was already max Werewolf skill line from before I was cured but curing the disease worked without removing the Werewolf skill line. Much appreciated. I don't see some deliquent lycanthrope hanging around places now encouraging me to do the same quest infinitely.

Thanks to all who replied too, I agree it's disappointing that there seems to be little interest from the developers to resolve these glitches.

I'd noticed this, too, but she had the blue quest marker so I figured they just decided to offer it as a special daily for werewolves. A bit weird, but not a bug, per se. But if you can lose Sanies Lupinus without losing Lycanthropy, I guess that explains it (though to me, that's the part that seems more like a bug).

Better to be able to repeat such a quest than to not repeat it. Because any serious werewolf roleplayers would want to be able to pay their respects to the one who gifted them Lycanthropy in the first place.
