You should see a quest NPC as a portal for you to interact with a quest inventory. Killing it doesn't remove or reset the inventory, it just closes the portal until respawn. A full server restart (NOT a quake, but a full restart) resets everything like its a full reboot.

If a quest needs A/B/C/D to complete, someone hands in C, and someone else hands in A/B/C/D, the following happens: player #2 gets the item reward for handing in A/B/D, the only items needed. Player 2 then also hands in C, which wasn't needed, once more stacking the NPC with item C.

This is why you should, if you are able to do so (i.e. if you are completing a quest yourself), hand in items one at a time. If the NPC was messed up, you 'fix' the NPC this way by completing the item, and you get to keep the item that someone else already handed in.

This stuff is often used on velious quest turnins because some gems are cheap, so people try to fish for free items by turning in just the gems.
Thanks that all makes sense. It also explains why staff do not litigate MQ misfires and I don't blame them.

Heard secondhand about a failed JBoots MQ today where the inventory supposedly was cleared by the buyer with 4 muffins. The MQ seller handed in the Ring and the Rapier and, to his disappointment, received the Jboots. Presumably someone sabotaged the seller with the gold ahead of time.

thanks
Muffin trick does not work on P99. Only a server reset clears quest inventory.

(As to the origin of the "muffin trick" rumor - was it some post-Velious mechanic? Or was it implemented on some other custom server?)

I don't know what to tell ya. It sucks this happened. I can't think of a way to prevent it.

I’ve always wondered if I made a rogue and sat in Rathe mountains with hide on waiting to turn a rapier in to snipe someone’s MQ if I would get in trouble 😹 it seems like a rogue thing to do

Honestly if you had an AC ring on you and could pretend you had seriously been prepared to turn in, this might work lol

Getting your MQ sniped is part of the risk, cheat the quest at your own peril.

Man, I hope someone starts walking around with extra black marbles / flawless diamonds / pristine emeralds and just decides to give them a toss to the SS NPCs. I think we'd hear the screams across the globe for that one.

I'm not usually a fan of douchery, but this could easily break the market if done consistently. 3 gems per quake for a few quakes and everyone would 2nd guess doing the MQ's.

People already do this because sometimes it nets you a free 50k mq for the price of 3 cheap gems
