What's wrong with this quest...
 

sub EVENT_ITEM
{
if (plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount,1382=>1))
{
quest::say("These are exactly what I was looking for $name! Take this as a reward");
quest::summonitem("1386");
}
}


whenever i hand in item 1382, the mob doesnt do anything

That looks fine to me. Is that the entire quest? If not, you might want to post the whole thing. It could be breaking somewhere else and causing this to fail. Do you have your plugins in your /eqemu/plugins folder? If not, you need to move them there from the quests/plugins directory.

Ah that is the problem.. Thanks Trev. had the plugins in the quest directory
