For the quest to function properly, several items must be inserted into the database.

The Pearls of Odus must be added to the ground_spawns table. They appear in three places. I'm not sure what the respawn time is on Live, but I set mine at 5 minutes.

Zone:24 ItemID:13878 Coords (x,y,z): (-460, -275, -28), (-475,-215,-28), (-485,5,-28).

The following recipe must also be added:
Full Bag of Pearls
tradeskill:75, no fail, replaces container

container: 17939
components: 4x 13878
success: 13879

Thanks! Submitted, and got the db changes in. The only change I made was the multiple item hand-in I rewrote to look like this:

if (plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 18835 => 1, 13838 => 1, 13839 => 1, 13840 => 1)){

[realityincarnate]

Ah, that looks much cleaner. I assumed there was a better way to do that, but I had no idea what it was.

[noudess]

I know this is an ancient post - but a question about faction. Is this code correct? It seems to imply that higher faction makes you vile?!

[ Ah I see - 5 is the faction level , not the actual counter. ]

The values (faction levels) differ depending upon what you're using, check here for more information.
