Killing the mob will have no affect on the NPC's quest tables / turn in tables. Also resetting the NPC will have no affect on the NPC's quest/turn in tables. This is because all NPC's loot tables are server / zone side. This was implemented during the Eatherquake sim pops.

So in order to fix a mob eating peoples MQ's the zone needs to be completely reset. Hence the reason guides and most GM's can do nothing to help.

Long story short, this was implemented to stop peoples quests from failing due to SIM Repops. If you are turning in a quest item one at a time and a repop happens in the middle of your quest, the NPC would eat your items. so to put a bandaid on this, they bascially found its better to screw over MQ's over all than to be responsible for an individuals failed turn in during a simulated repop.



****THIS IS BASED ON AN EDUCATED GUESS**** *DO NOT QUOTE*
Yeah, some other community members brought up that the mobs can't be killed anymore to reset loot tables earlier in the thread, but this is the first time I've seen an explanation behind it. Makes sense, just kind of a bummer for situations like this.
