Abandon Quest

I’ve been trying to complete the parchment quest for months now but still only managed to get parchment #1. I am really, really frustrated and I decided to just stop since it’s no longer worth doing it. Now i try to complete the Villi Armor quest and it says I need to go to the rogue alchemist in shuyal who happens to be the npc involve in the parchment quest. Guess what, i cant proceed with the quest since the parchment quest is still pending. Any work around in this problem?
