Using your last EVENT_ITEM he simply just stands there as always what I did was used your code with the exception of one bracket I took out.

sub EVENT_ITEM {
  if (plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 1079 => 1) && ($gold==15)) {
    if($class eq "Wizard") {
      quest::exp(15);
      quest::summonitem(15036);
      quest::summonitem(15377);
      quest::summonitem(15378);
      quest::summonitem(15230);
      quest::summonitem(15376);
    }
    else {
      quest::say("You are no Wizard, and I know a Wizard when I see one!");
      quest::summonitem(1079);
    }
  } ########### REMOVED
  else {
    quest::say("I have no use for this, $name.");
    plugin::return_items(\%itemcount);
  }
}

Removing that bracket makes the quest work, but if you just turn in the book, he simply keeps it, and says "I have no use for this, $name." Giving him any other item he returns.

Since you posted I've tried:

elsif (plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 1079 => 1)) {
    	quest::say("I cannot provide the knowledge you seek, $name.");
    	quest::summonitem(1079); 
}

and I've tried,

 if (plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 1079 => 1)) {
    	quest::say("I cannot provide the knowledge you seek, $name.");
    	quest::summonitem(1079); 
}

... basically im just trying to figure out how the player can get the book back if the money isn't handed in with it.

Everything else works.

This is what I have in the .pl right now for sub EVENT_ITEM for the time being.

sub EVENT_ITEM { 
	if (plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 1079 => 1))
	 	{ 
			quest::exp(11);
			quest::summonitem(15036);
			quest::summonitem(15377);
			quest::summonitem(15378);
			quest::summonitem(15230);
    		quest::summonitem(15376);
    	}
   
    else 
    	{
    		quest::say("Don't waste my time, $race!");
    		plugin::return_items(\%itemcount);
    	}
}

I found out about #reloadquest... and that has been really helpful in actually testing the script so far.

I thought I had to completely reboot the server everytime I tried a new script... no wonder my first script took 6 hours lol!
