Overview

This section of the guide deals with the dozens of Miscellaneous Objectives that appear in your Quest menu throughout your adventures. Like Favors, these are straightforward tasks with modest rewards, but some have unique elements, such as unlocking a dungeon or giving you access to a previously restricted area.

These are separated into Innkeeper Objectives (scuttlebutt and rumor you might hear at your favorite tavern) and Miscellaneous Objectives in each major settlement of Skyrim, separated by Hold. Note that each of these increases your relationship with the citizen you’re doing the Favor for, which is important for your standing within a particular city (if you wish to complete any Thane Tasks).

Some Miscellaneous Objectives were important enough for us to flag with a quest name and the “*” symbol. The quest name won’t appear in your Quest menu, but the Miscellaneous Objectives will be listed.
