Default NPC's Inventory Memory

This is an issue among several things:
  • A Merchant will keep their entire inventory even after being killed + respawning
  • A Quest NPC will keep a partial quest turnin even after being killed + respawning

Both of these are not classic.
  • Killing a merchant should have them respawn with no items in their inventory (other than their default).
  • Killing or despawning a quest NPC should have them respawn with no quest items in que for MQ purposes.
I just freshly spawned a Kaiaren (sane) for monk epic. Turned in my Celestial Book on cleric and received the Celestial Fists (epic) without having had my guildmate on my monk, turn in my Demon Fangs. This is not correct. Sane Kaiaren was not up and I freshly spawned him by turning in the Celestial Fists (book). He should have nothing in his quest que at this point after being spawned.

He shouldn't keep his inventory from a previous turnin after having despawned and respawned. Not classic.
