I welcome ALL spoilers. I am a completionist and collector of everything the game can offer. Is anything "missable" in the College of Winterhold Questline? I was hoping for some valuable tips/secrets. I don't want to miss out on a single side quest, spell, item, anything. What is the best order to go in terms of main quest/side quests, making sure not to miss anything? Thanks in advance.

Pick up the amulet last in Saarthal, explore the sewers fully, all the rings for the hand can be found throughout the college.

I used the Prima guide, but uesp.net is also a fine source for completely spoiling yourself.


I like to do the little side quests, like the three for the other apprentices, right after the first core quest. There are also some radiant quests. Many of these are like the others in the game and are just a way to get you out in the world, but some can also be done around the college.


Then I burn through the rest of the core quests. This questline feels like a crisis so I drop everything else to deal with it. But that's just me.
