My first thought was: You encountered a so called "breadcrumb quest". These quests are meant to guide players to a specific location to do more quests there. If the player however finds the locations on his own, without one of these breadcrumb quests, then the breadcrumb becomes unavailable (there is no need to guide the player to a place he already visited).

BUT

Since you can complete both quests, while you can only accept one of them at the same time, this is a case Questie currently can not reflect 🤔
Usually for breadcrumb quests, we mark them with the exclusiveTo field and/or with nextQuestInChain. But using either of these would not fix this and/or bring up a new issue.

@Cabro any idea?

I just took a fresh character to Stonetalon. I had Warchief's Command: Southern Barrens in my log and Nura Pathfinder was not available.

To test the opposite scenario, I abandoned Warchief's Command: Southern Barrens and Nura Pathfinder became available.

It appears to be the case that:

1. There is no prequest for Nura Pathfinder (I have completed no other quests in Stonetalon/Ashenvale/Barrens)
2. You can complete both Warchief's Command: Southern Barrens and Nura Pathfinder but not have both in your quest log at the same time
3. [not yet tested] Both are effectively breadcrumbs for Clear the High Road (i.e. neither will be available once Clear the High Road is completed)

I will leave my character without completing any of these quests so that I can test any suggestions.

2. You can complete both Warchief's Command: Southern Barrens and Nura Pathfinder but not have both in your quest log at the same time

This is exactly what I assumed and a problem for the Questie DB. If we mark these quests as exclusiveTo then one of the quests will not show up once one of them is either accepted or complete (the latter is the problem here).

3. [...] neither will be available once Clear the High Road is completed
   Minor side note: With other breadcrumb quests it is so, that they are not available once you accept the follow up quest.

@BreakBB I am also using the addon "All The Things" as one may notice by my screenshots. The addon has its own weaknesses, but it also has one cool feature: It warns you once you collect a quest that will make another (breadcrumb) quest unavailable on completion. So there seems to be a possibility to hook on the event of collecting a quest. Maybe it would be a possibility for Questie to also hook on the event of collecting a quest and use this information to mark another quest as unavailable. I am not sure if there is a possibility to listen to the event of abandoning a quest though. This would be necessary to mark another quest as available again.

The addon is open source as well: https://github.com/DFortun81/AllTheThings/

@TorpedoCXC thanks - I believe this is an optional breadcrumb. Do you remember if you have completed either of these?

@coldpasta123

According to WoW, I did not complete these quests:

/run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(24504)) -> false
/run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(28549)) -> false

But I have one of these still in my quest log.

I will try cancelling it and checking again.

@coldpasta123 As soon as I completed the quest Warchief's Command: Southern Barrens, the other quest showed up. It was not necessary to cancel the quest.

@BreakBB Is there a way to tell Questie that you are not allowed to have a specific quest in your log to see another quest?
