Hasten Stole my Stuff

[astrocreeper]

So I just spent all night camping the AC, got a shadowed rapier, 3250 gold, found hasten, gave him the rapier, the gold, and the ring all at once, and he didn't say anything, give me anything, or return any of my items. What's the turnaround time on a petition for something like this and what do you suppose I did wrong?

Were you invisible? Sneaking? Hiding?

[Dillian]

hasten stealing items is classic. Isnt that what people want?

Probably means he already had one of the quest items in his inventory. You didn't really do anything wrong, but the only "safe" way to turn in to frequent MQ merbs is to spawn them yourself.

This is false for multiple reasons.

1. On P99, NPC's quest item memory is retained through de spawning and respawning. Meaning a quest NPC who is given 3/4 pieces of an MQable quest, and then who is killed, upon respawning will still have those items in their memory bank. Allowing a single item turned in to result in the quest completion.

This isn't classic but it's the way they had to code MQs on P99.

2. As others stated, if Hasten was sitting on any number of the quest rewards in his memory bank, he would still complete the quest if you were to provide him all the necessary components to complete the quest. Basically if he had the Ring and Money in his memory bank, and you handed in the Ring, Money and Rapier... He would receive the rapier, complete your quest and then hold onto the Ring and Money for another MQer.

3. The only safe way to turn into an MQ frequent mob is by including all the parts by yourself. I'm guessing the issue here is what others suggested. You turned in 1 of the wrong items. Maybe you mixed up Rapier maybe you didn't include the right amount of gold, maybe you mixed up the Ring and a belt.

What a jerk. Yeah, he probably had something in his inventory from a botched turn in or a griefer.

does this mean I could give him any item at random and this would happen again?

I would never do that, but you know, for science.

[Morphyus]

He turned in all three items himself so shouldent really matter if Hasten had anything in inv, should it?

[Erati]

even if he had something from previois turn in- OP turning in all three items should get his item + put on Hasten extra what was on him previously

id wager he was hidden

It's always a good idea to make sure the quest mob responds to hails and gives you the text quest before turning in items.

I've personally had Hasten bug out on me and he would not respond to hails. Maybe his location got desynced or something, because I was able to root him, camp off the agro, then when I logged back on he responded normally and I was able to successfully do the turn in.
