Bravil Mages Guild Recommendation, Guild quest not activating Options

[Chiglet]

Despite downloading the new patch, I continue to be unable to get the quest from the mages guild in Bravil to come up as active. I speak to Kud-el about Recommendation and she says she needs me to talk to Varon Vamori about Ardaline. However, I do not then get the mission added as a new quest, and even if I talk to Ardaline and return to Kud-el, she simply again asks if I am ready to earn my recommendation and repeats the same quest info. As I prefer to actually go through the quests, and not just cheat code my way to the end, does anyone know of a code to simply get this quest activated? Thanks
