That is how I ended up with one of my Dawnfire's lol.

I seem to remember why this was broken, and it was a binary byproduct of some other fix. (Fixing one, breaks the other, regardless)

IIRC it broke when the Lynuga exploit was fixed. It had something to do with charming her and turning in rubies, then you could kill her and get the rubies back, which duped plat. So I *think* charmed NPCs were patched to not drop anything you give them to get around the exploit.

Ah this does make a great deal of sense, and could be exploited for . .. well anything really. Do quest, kill NPC, get items back, repeat. Hell I could see people killing the fucking efreetis to get their brass knuckles back . . . well if they didn't despawn on quest turnins . . . which makes me wonder?

Anyway it would be an easy fix, just clear an NPC's inventory after a successful quest.

yeah, they handled that on live without having to completely turn off looting items handed to NPCs. seems to me like that was a lazy fix.

Bump for a great consolidation of fixes needed.
