Skill quests

This is a list of all Quests with Skill Reward.

Warning
When completing a Skill Quest for a secondary profession, be sure to check that you have the correct secondary profession before accepting the quest reward. If you have changed secondary professions after obtaining the quest, and forget to change back before completing it, you will not earn the skill reward(s) and the opportunity to earn them free will be lost.

For example, if your secondary profession was Warrior, and you had just completed a Skill quest which listed Sprint as a reward, you would not receive Sprint upon accepting the quest reward if your secondary was anything other than Warrior. If you then switch secondary profession back to Warrior, you will not be assigned the quest again and so you will have lost the opportunity to obtain this skill, except by buying it from a Skill Trainer.

While this bug has probably been present before, it was not likely that one would accept a skill quest, go to the Crystal Desert to change professions, and then return to accept the quest reward; this is why this has not been a large problem in the past. But with the new ease of changing secondary professions in any outpost (see Skills and Attributes panel), it becomes all too easy to accidentally miss skills which should be easily obtainable.

It's possible to receive many different skill quests at once by changing secondary professions, and more than one can be active at the same time. It does not matter what your profession is while you are doing the quest; it only matters what your profession is when you accept the quest reward. Always make sure to change secondary professions back to the one needed to receive the skill rewards in order to avoid missed opportunities!
