Question from someone who hasn't taken the quest yet: Do you need to complete the quest on all characters you want to subclass, or is it just once per account? Because if it's the former, that seems like a real problem given this bug.

You have to start the quest to enable subclassing on any character that you want to subclass. Unfortunately, the problem is that the quest can get stuck at the "subclass a skill line" step. Even after successfully subclassing another skill line, the quest doesn't complete, and you can't abandon it. You can still continue to swap/equip new/old skill lines all you wish. You just can't complete the quest.

Apparently there's a way to avoid the bug and complete the quest if you're not using the gamepad UI. But for those of us on console, we don't have that luxury. So we're left "sittin in the cold" so to speak.

That's a little worrying. The one character I have that I'd definitely like to use sub-classing on (Arc) is still relatively low level, but the skill line I'd swap in (from NB) is already at 50. I have a few characters that aren't fully maxed, but they're all getting pretty close so if I don't do the sub-classing quest soon I might not have any under-levelled skill lines left available. I do have two spare character slots, though: if I make a second NB can I use the skill line from that character instead of my maxed-out main to complete this quest?

If you haven't subclassed any characters yet, then you don't have any subclass skills leveled at all yet. Your NB skills being at 50 means that your NB skill lines are available to be subclassed. When your first non-NB character sublasses into those skill lines, they still need to level those skill lines to 50 all over again as a subclass. Once it's been level to 50 as a subclass then it's available to any character without having to level it up again. But if you created another NB character, that character can't subclass into one of its own base skill lines and will instead have to level it up the old fashioned way.

@DenverRalphy Could you please clarify the bolded part? At one point I thought that I need to level a skill line to 50 to be able to subclass it on another character. I had toons of all classes fully leveled on PCNA before the release of subclassing, so it did not really matter to me.

However, I created my first toon on PCEU (a sorc) not long ago, levelled it to 50 and went to Dune to see what's what with subclassing. I was able to swap Dark Magic to Aedric Spear even though I do not have a Templar on PCEU, and since then leveled it to 50.

I was under the impression that one of your characters had to have first leveled a skill line to 50 before another character can subclass into it. When subclassing came about I had already levelled them all to 50 on various toons, so that original assumption stuck. If that's not the case.. oopsie.
