Forums: Village pumpWarcraft games Automatic quest accepting

Where can I find more information about quests which you accept automatically? Specifically, I would very much like to know what happens if I abandon a quest which I have accepted automatically. Would I be able to accept the quest again at a later point, or you do only have one chance?

We note quests that either start or end automatically by listing "Automatic" instead of a quest giver. There's no specific category these quests are placed in, but look at, say, the Redridge Mountains storyline, where there are a few quests that happen automatically.
You will have to repeat whatever you did to trigger the quest in the first place, be it killing a specific mob or entering an area. --k_d3 02:11, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
Or, occasionally, you can simply go back to town and talk to the questgiver directly. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 02:24, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
Ok, thank you both for confirming what I suspected. However, is there any known event in game which you can only do once, and which triggers an automatic quest? I'm just brain-storming. Lugduname (talk) 03:32, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
Nothing I've run across in my cata beta testing. I would have complained rather loudly had I found such a thing. Blizz (typically) knows better than that. --k_d3 03:41, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
Thank you once again! Lugduname (talk) 04:10, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
Despite assurances from KD3, there are events that you can do only once that may trigger an automatic quest. This happens when you get an automatic quest in a situation that can't be repeated due to a patch change. Blizzard is careful, but not that careful. Lots of strange achievements are based on stuff you can't do anymore, but some people may have done in the past. --Gengar orange 22x22 Fandyllic (talk · contribs) 12:02 AM PST 4 Dec 2010
