It is indeed frustrating that a freshly spawned NPC will retain memory of items turned in to that NPC in a previous incarnation.
I turned in the Book of the Celestial Fists to Kaiaren (sane by the lake, after spawning him freshly), and my cleric was rewarded the Monk Epic. Before I had a chance to turn in the Demon Fangs.
This isn't Classic and shouldn't happen. I do understand the staff having a no support stance with MQs, it's just frustrating when I did the MQ correctly, making sure the NPC wasn't sitting up from a previous failure etc. But I still lost the book which was a decent amount of camping and time.
So currently my monk has a robe and is camped in the pawbuster room waiting to loot one. Don't think I'll be paying for any pipe MQs so long as Balatin or Kaiaren will retain the memory of failed MQs from days or week prior, from spawns that had depopped and repopped since then.
