a relic reborn !

hey i have been referred to post on here as no one in the entire ff-xiv community can help me !, i so happened to accept a quest in vesper bay which enabled me to start doing the quests for a relic weapon , BUTT.... i am forced to do scholar and cannot switch to another job to do there weapon instead , I have abandoned the quest many times, even spent about 200k on scholar beat chimera ect ect , and abandoned again , but nope no luck no were to restart the hole quest as a whm , it just leaves me with the red quest symbol for the scholar or smn weapon quest , please help i don't want to progress in any way for these two jobs , i want to mainly do whm and bard, is this a bug !? as everyone just says abandon the quest and start again , im not stupid and have already done so.... im guessing once you have started the quest there is no changing what so ever i hope this is not the case... if this is the case i think it is stupid , if anybody knows about this i would really appreciate it , because it is leaving me doing nothing and not progressing as i am determined to do my whm relic weapon ... i will not do smn or scholar first just to do so . thanks :)
