Oh gotcha.

So as long as I have the handin plugin I do not need to add a 5th file in the plugin directory for this?

Also, someone else noted in another thread that they prefer to NOT put the return_items in an else statement, but rather at the end as stand-alone. This apparently would return any unused/incorrect items if at least some of the items were what the NPC was looking for?

So,

sub EVENT_ITEM
{
if(plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 54001 => 1))
  {
  quest::say("Alas, my poor Sethena! Thank you for this trinket, $name. Please, take this as a token of my gratitude.");
  quest::faction(264,100);
  quest::exp(18000);
  quest::summonitem(54002);
  }
}

plugin::return_items(\%itemcount);

Correct on both.

You have it outside of the sub..

Personally, I like having the return items in the elsif statement just so I feel better that the hand-in item won't accidentally be returned along with the reward.

I'm pretty sure that can't happen. From what I understand if it satisfies the if condition, the item is actually removed from the hash so it wouldn't be available to be returned. I haven't looked at it all that much but that is how I understand it to work.

Good catch on the placement of the return too. I didn't look at the code real close.
