How to read the offer

Record region, destination, object, recipient, deadline and return coven. Remote sites make the return journey part of your preparation. Check Quests and Time remains before setting out again. Keep letters and supplied items until the task confirms completion.

An accusation, feud or supernatural problem does not establish the required action. Check whether you must recover evidence, remove an enemy or deliver something. The checked coven examples do not establish a general exorcism procedure or a separate coven-feud ladder. Follow the actual offer rather than importing the steps from temple errands.

The shapes you will see

Ingredient circuit. A Great Errand (Q0C10Y00) places different ingredients in separate dungeons. Return with each assigned object and confirm each hand-in; clearing one dungeon does not finish the circuit.
Combat ingredient. The Daedra's Heart (Q0C4XY04) gives a heart to a quest foe through an injury trigger. Inspect the defeated carrier and return the heart. Generic monster loot is not the assignment.
Escort and rescue. Public Relation (Q0C00Y03) escorts a child to a remote house before reporting back. The Imprisoned Witch (Q0C00Y07) requires the supplied clothing when contacting the captive.
Dangerous delivery. A Treacherous Gift (Q0C0XY02) changes the recipient into an enemy. Killing that enemy changes the return outcome. Read feedback before treating the transformation as an instruction to kill.
Recovery or removal. The Libel (Q0C00Y01) requires a document from a remote temple; Problems with Vampires (Q0C00Y06) requires the designated dungeon kill. These objectives need different completion checks.
Special mixture. A Special Mixture (Q0C00Y04) supplies a quest potion for a mage. Using it invokes cure actions and changes the delivery outcome; it is not ordinary sale stock.

Quick path

Identify the action and record all remote destinations.
Retain supplied objects and prepare access tools and healing.
Travel to the named contact or quest instance.
Complete each ingredient, escort, delivery or combat step.
Read updates, return to the correct coven and confirm completion.

What gets players stuck

Confirm the remote building and instance before searching nearby sites.
Check secret doors and unexplored rooms on the 3D map; inspect dressing and carriers for ingredients.
Separate quest objects from loot. Recheck the clock before another dungeon or return journey.
Read prompts before killing or consuming anything. Coven work can have standing, disease or legal consequences.
Report the ID, site and last entry if blocked. Online reload and replacement-item recovery are unverified.

Rewards and standing

See quest rewards for eligible gear and variable payment, and cures for curse routes. Ordinary online failure protection does not erase explicit scripted consequences. The Covens' Hoard is a separate questline.
