How to unlock the Arch-Mage achievement

    This achievement is unlocked by completing the Mages Guild quests. You will likely unlock this at a high level.

    Notes:

    All of the quests are the same regardless of which alliance you chose, however the locations that you have to visit may vary.

    To avoid spoilers and due to the fact that the quests point you exactly where to go and what to do, I will not write walkthroughs of each quest. Instead I will explain how to get to them.

    Each quest requires a minimum Mages Guild rank to receive. To view your rank go to your skills and scroll down to 'Mages Guild'. To level up in this you must find and collect lorebooks from around your alliance's territories. For lorebook locations use http://teso.mmorpg-life.com/lorebooks-locations-map/

    In case Shalidor does not appear at any mages guildhall for you, try to go to the corresponding guildhall for where Valaste is. (e.g. quest 3 below will be in Elden Root/Wayrest/Mournhold.)

    The order of cities as I mean them is the order in which you progress through natural progression of each territory:

    Dominion: Vulkhel Guard > Elden Root > Marbruk > Baandari Trading Post > Rawl'kha
    Covenant: Daggerfall > Wayrest > Shornhelm > Sentinel > Evermore
    Pact: Davon's Watch > Mournhold > Stormhold > Windhelm > Riften

    The quests are as follows:

    1. To begin the quest line join the Mages guild. This will be at the start of the game in the beginning city. You will receive an invitation, go to the guildhall and join the guild. (If the invitation doesn't come then just go to the guildhall and speak to Curinure / Nemarc / Rudrasa depending on your alliance)

    2. (Rank 1) Long Lost Lore: In the first city guildhall, speak to Valaste. You will recover books from a local ruin.

    3. (Rank 2) Simply Misplaced: When near a guildhall Shalidor will appear and tell you to meet Valaste. She will be in the second city of your alliance. You will recover two items that Sheogorath claims to have misplaced.

    4. (Rank 3) Circus of Cheerful Slaughter: When near a guildhall Shalidor will appear and tell you to meet Valaste. She will be in the third city of your alliance. You will take part in Sheogorath's theatrical play.

    5. (Rank 4) Chateau of the Ravenous Rodent: When near a guildhall Shalidor will appear and tell you to meet Valaste. She will be in the fourth city of your alliance. You will explore Sheogorath's manse.

    6. (Rank 5) The Mad God's Bargain: When near a guildhall Shalidor will appear and tell you to meet Valaste. She will be in the fifth (and final) city of your alliance. You will free Shalidor's sanctuary from Sheogorath's clutches.

    7. (Optional) The Arch-Mage's Boon: This quest is found directly after finishing 'The Mad God's Bargain' by talking to Shalidor outside. The achievement will appear before doing this quest (if it doesn't then do this quest to hopefully fix that). Don't miss this anyway; you get a reward for nothing.
