I have been trying to do the first specialization and there is a quest where that you can get the whole first book for specializations. There is a redeemed quest and an unredeemed quest. I am clan so im doing the redeemed one, but im having problems, i talk to Seeker Aban Kald-Nuir who is the guy who gives you the quest but he never gives me that quest he gives me other ones and i was hoping someone could clear things up for me.

Did he gave you quests for The Mariner's Father chapters? Like "Kill 5 Craig Ors and Follower Gulu-Mav Thrak "?

You need to collect all 4 chapters, then combine them. Once you did that, bring that book to Proffesor dedlock in Harbor ISP and he'll "tune" your cyberdeck or something like that

Do you get an error message / message of any kind when you try to speak with him? Does he tell you he cannot talk with you at this time?

Is there a chance you did the quest already and forgot about it?

If he really isn't giving you the start of the quest and you are absolutely sure that you are speaking with the correct starting NPC and that you havent already done the questline, it would possibly be worth petitioning so that an ARK can see if they can help you. If the ARK cannot help you then it is likely that they will ask a GM to see if you are perhaps wrongly flagged with the mission and they will more than likely give you advice on what to do next.

I hope you get this resolved quickly! Please post more if you have any other questions.

Target yourself, press "T", this will give you info about your char. Among others, there should be "First specialization complete", if you already did it.

But the quest isnt only for Spec1. Even if you have spec1 from picking it up randomly along the way, it shouldnt stop you from being able to embark on that questline.

When i talk to him he just gives me quests to kill spinetooth bosses for differant parts like a spinetooth egg and a spinetooth venom sac. He never says anything about the mariners father, specializations or the unredeemed, so i dont know what to do.

Ok, i think i did all the quests this guy has that has to do with spinetooth things, but now when i try to give him the datadisc with his name on it he says " I don't have time to play games." so i might not even be able to do the quest, at least thats what im starting to think.

You have to work through the whole of the start of the questline to then get to the bit with the specializations.

Ignore Ukblizzard
Those NPCs have 2 "sets" of quests. One as it is (spec one between) and extra ones with datadiscs. Meaning you can get extra missions with Dds, if you're lucky to find them, but you don't have to farm them.

As for why he doesn't want recieve datadisc:
- might be wrong NPC (happened to me, they all look the same)
- you might be too high level already (not sure for sided, but Joshua has lvl restriction at least)
- you're trying to give him wrong datadisc
If nothing of this applies to your case, only other thing I can think of is that you try and trade it from inventory, not backpack.

Thanks for correcting me :) Maybe we can split the guide somehow or make it clearer for when I forget next time!!
