The Innkeeper NPC was actually not an Innkeeper NPC at that precise moment, because the Innkeeper NPC was instead a Questgiver NPC.
So, mentally grumbling to myself about wasting my time on inventory management instead of playing the game, I clicked on the Innkeeper NPC who was right there to go to my inn to throw some stuff into the Wardrobe. For me, currently, in FFXIV, that means throwing any old Bard gear into the Glamour Wardrobe, and selling any non-Bard gear to my Main Company provisioner for Company Seals, because at this point in my lifecycle of Playing An Aging MMORPG, there’s just no way I’m going to have the time or energy to level more than one main job ever again.Īt this particular moment, I had picked up six non-Bard gear pieces from the Qatana Ravel, the trust dungeon I had just completed a couple quests ago.
I observed that my inventory was almost full, so I resigned myself to the gaming chore that I hate so much: Inventory management.
The quest deposits you in your inn room for a soliloquy from The Ghost of the Warrior of Darkness, and when it’s over you’re left standing next to the Innkeeper NPC, who has the next quest. Here’s what happened to me: I had just finished level 75 Main Scenario Quest “Out Of The Woods,” which is the one where you leave the Tree Village of the Bunny People and return to the Crystarium. Enthusiasts far and wide will rush to help by explaining that you can re-watch any cut scenes you miss in the Neverending Story book in your inn, which is a fair point, but entirely unhelpful in my specific situation. Reddit will tell you that you never need to abandon a Main Scenario Quest, which is silly. You’ll have to create a new character and progress all the way back to the point before the quest you want to abandon, which is not really a solution at all. I know of no other way to abandon a Main Scenario Quest. If you’ve already gotten past the Quest Accepted point, it’s probably too late. Alt-tab out of the game, end the FFXIV game task by whatever means necessary, and log back in. The button just isn’t there.īut: If you’re still in the introductory dialog pages and haven’t yet reached the “Quest Accepted” splash page, you can abandon the quest by shutting down the game. You can abandon side quests, but not the main ones. I ran into a problem with Final Fantasy XIV and I thought I’d share the solution I came up with, because you certainly won’t find it anywhere on Reddit.įinal Fantasy XIV has a very annoying quirk where you can’t abandon a Main Scenario Quest.
