Bug: Quest items being left behind with Area Loot mod enabled
Current Behaviour
This is follow up to the issue marked closed here.
Quest items are still being left behind on mobs when area loot mod is enabled. Doesn't matter if running solo, with other players, or with bots in the group. Area loot is not picking up all available quest items. There are probably other items that are being left behind as well, I just paid attention to the fact that I am not looting all the available quest items.
Expected Behaviour
When looting a group of mobs where more than one has a quest items available, it is expected that all quest items will be looted unless you have reached the maximum needed for that quest.
Steps to reproduce the problem
- Pull a group of mobs that you need to farm for a quest (orc in Blood Furnace for the "The Blood is Life" quest for example.
- Loot all defeated mobs
- If more than one mob has a blood on them, they are not all being looted. Some bodies continue to have sparkles over them indicating they have loot, but when you click on them you cannot loot the item.

With the pull request that is currently open, which corrects several of the open issues, this error does not seem to be made. The items are raised all over the ground, however, I should try, with a 100% probability, because perhaps, either I have been very unlucky, or something strange happens, because by killing several mobs, I have been able to obtain very few quest items. However, in the bodies, there is absolutely nothing left.
Unless I'm mistaken, this glitch is a partial fix. That is, it fixes the issue where no items remain on the body (and the item itself no longer has the glow effect or the bag). However, with a 100% drop chance on a quest item, only one item is obtained upon killing three mods, and I don't think that's right.

It seems to me that the flaw in this isn't the loot in the area, but rather the logic of the loot itself. NPCs generally have a maximum and minimum limit for the number of items they can have. When sending all the items to a body, it seems to me that, by default, it keeps only one of them.
Yup, I can confirm that this is bugged. Killing pack of 5 mobs gives mostly 1 quest item (on multiple tries). If you kill them one by one - almost every one of them drops it.
The bug exists, because the game does not contemplate that a player can obtain several Quest items all together and then, in the bag, it does not show them. I made a modification, which was to send the remaining items to the player, when I got the first one, but I do not know if this is the solution we should have.
Also another issue - if you aggro your quest mob together with a non-quest mob(s) - you aren't getting a quest item drop at all.
Edit: You can try (Aliance) quest=88 "Princess Must Die!".
I don't play on my server anymore, got bored with it, but I came up with a solution that worked for me. I disabled area loot entirely and then changed the drop rate on quest items to be 100%. Still have to loot each mob individually, but makes collect quests so much easier.

No module - no problem, you say 😃
I can confirm quest items are still an issue. Had to await spawn of boss and kill for second time to get quest item 1/1. I am playing with playerbots module.
