Crafting writ quest slot

I don't know why crafting writs take up slots in the quest journal. It's just a nuisance when you have lots of quests and you have to make multiple trips to do your crafting writs. I think crafting writs should not count towards your quest journal total of 25 and should have permanent alloted spaces in the quest journal. So you would have 25 slots for quests and 7 permanent additional slots (or for howevere many crafting writs) that are always there for your crafting writs. It would make life a lot easier and less frustrating.

Gnatrak✭✭✭Sure, that sounds good and all but they're quests, quests that you voluntarily accept. Maybe finish some of your other ones already.

I try to but then go to a new zone and bam 8 new quests in the journal and somebody always wants something done. You forget how many you have, log on just to do your writs and then don't have the slots and have to go do something else first, very annoying.2 -

✭✭✭✭✭I agree the quest journal is too small. What I'd prefer to see, however, is simply a larger quest journal - like 50 or 100 vs 25.
Tamriel One encourages wide ranging exploration but it surely can fill up a quest log - unless you either ignore quest givers (risking you might miss them) or go through an area like a careful vacuum cleaner to ensure you immediately complete any quests you find as you find them. That is, the small quest log discourages wide-ranging and whimsical/random exploration.
Beyond a (much) larger quest log, I'd also love to see it contain two categories that you can move quests between. One for 'working' quests you plan in the foreseeable future, another for 'pending' quests that you grab to ensure you get them but won't get to them for a very long time. A new character might place Stuga's 'Do you know how long I've been looking for you?' Wrothgar starting quest in pending for example.PC NA(no Steam), PvE, mostly solo6 -

I like the pending idea and bigger quest journal. I think also a note in the quest log for starter quests or separate category that makes it obvious it is starting a new zone. I do like them grouped by zone but also like to know if they are from that zone or a guild mission etc.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Having a bigger quest journal will add extra time to each character’s load when you start the game, @mrsrobot ... depending on how many quests each has. Is that something you’d be willing to deal with?
It’s not something I’d prefer to deal with.
As other forum-goers above me have said, no one is forcing you to accept 8 new quests when you change zones. Finish the ones you have ... or simply delete them and pick up again from the quest giver at another time.2 -

I can't see it making a huge difference but if it does then at very least 7 slots should be reserved for crafting writs (on an optional toggle for people who don't craft) and the other 18 slots free for any quest.
As to not taking quests when in a zone and coming back it can ruin the flow of play through and make unnecessary running around which also adds to server use.Edited by TheImperfect on November 16, 2019 4:10PM1 -

✭✭✭✭✭If (and I think it may be a big if) more quests translates to longer loading times, I'd take it - happily. And for those who want the shorter loading time, they can simply self-limit the size of the their quest log to suit their desired load in time.

✭What I meant really is just don't make crafting writs counted in the quest journal towards the 25 available quests.0 -

✭✭Oof. My mild ocd is triggered by any unfinished quests in my journal...
Keep your journal clean my friends, you never know who might read it! "It is a lovely language, but it takes a very long time saying anything in it, because we do not say anything in it, unless it is worth taking a long time to say, and to listen to." - Treebeard0 -

I agree the quest journal is a bit small but even if you had 50 -100 spaces for quests you would run into the same problem soon enough, with the way you seem to just accept quests and don't get around to finishing them.
Don't think ZOS will change anything regarding the quest journal, there would be no profit in it for them.

✭✭✭✭✭My quest journal is full of unfinished quests that my character is too poopy to be able to complete. I should probably abandon the quests I'm not gud enuf to handle yet, but abandoning quests makes me feel so inadequate. I try to keep room for at least 7 quests so I can accept all 7 daily crafting jobs at once instead of having to go running back to the job boards.Edited by SeaGtGruff on November 16, 2019 11:19PMI've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than me!0 -

Agreed. I'd love an increase to at least 40.
Heh... Shoot, I'd buy a crown store pet that would give me 5 extra quest journal slots.

✭✭✭✭✭Separate the quests into 2 categories. Standard quests (with the 25 limit) and daily/repeatable quests (with a huge limit, say 200 or so).0 -
Damocles✭That's why i don#t accept any quests unless i'm willing to do them there and then. Plus you end up forgetting the story and where you are up to having so many - which isn't fun.0

Zulera301✭✭✭✭✭I've done every quest outside of Elsweyr and I never had this problem. Just manage quests one zone at a time and dont forget to do faction quests.Shortly after the formation of the Ebonheart Pact, a Nord woman was given a tour of the Tribunal Temple. When later asked about the experience, she seemed upset. Suffice to say, the Dunmer were not pleased to hear this, and thus they inquired further.
"Well," the Nord frowned, "the priests were very angry and unwelcoming. They kept shouting things at me like "you can't drink that mead in here!" and "somebody stop her, she's running naked!" and "we can't catch her; she's covered in grease!""0 -

✭✭✭✭✭lmao, asking for separate quest logs is 100% asking for devs to break something
Devs adding anything is asking for devs to break something.
What did they touch that could possibly have turned off orc passives specifically in a non cp campaign? Who knows. They find new interesting ways of breaking things all the time. If we use the excuse that they could break something by adding something, then nothing ever gets added.Edited by redspecter23 on November 17, 2019 3:58AM0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I never pick up quests until I'm ready to go do them. Whyever would I? The quest givers never die, they're always still breathing air in every zone....
At least they are in THIS game. Not so much in WoW and RIFT, where they could be killed. Repeatedly.
Ever tried to turn in a quest when the second the quest NPC resurrects, it's killed again? And again and again.... ad infinitum ad nauseam. I once spent the better part of three days trying to turn in a quest in WoW. I finally got up at 3 am, lo and behold there she was. Finally got that off my log.
Not fun.0
