Miscellaneous quests are minor quests that you can be given. Completing objectives for miscellaneous quests increases the Miscellaneous Objectives statistic, and counts towards the Hero of the People achievement.
These quests appear in your journal, but they are all listed together in the "Miscellaneous" section. The actual name of the quest is not visible in game (the names used on this site are the names assigned to the quest in the Creation Kit). Only the current objective associated with the quest can be seen -- completed objectives are not displayed, nor is any additional information about the quest stage. Miscellaneous Quests are different from Side Quests -- the latter are full quests, with full entries in your quest log.
Many miscellaneous quests use the Radiant quest system to add a dynamic element to the quest. Therefore, details of the objectives (who gives it to you, where to go, etc.) are likely to vary from one player to another.
This page does not list all of the miscellaneous quests available in the game. Apart from quests listed here, please consult the below links for more miscellaneous quests.
Pages describing some specific types of miscellaneous quest are:
Radiant quests that can be obtained from multiple people are listed multiple times. The quests are sorted by hold. In most cases, miscellaneous quests are carried out entirely within a single hold.

Achievements
Miscellaneous quests allow you to unlock one achievement:
- {{{name}}} ({{{points}}} points)
- You can track your progress towards the achievement using the "Misc Objectives Completed" statistic on the Quest page of your journal's General Stats.
- Note that the game counts objectives completed, not quests completed; miscellaneous quests which have more than one objective count more heavily. It also counts all objectives completed, not just those that are part of the regular quests on this page; e.g., if you join the Companions and get the objective "Talk to the Companions leaders for work" then completing that counts towards the achievement.
