Abandon an active quest: quest abandon [<#>] — drops the quest without turn-in rewards (distinct from quest complete).
Skip a bad offer before accepting: quest complete unfinished on a quest you already took — wait before quest request again.
Seasonal / optional quests: may require quest accept <#> after quest request.
