Its part of a multi tiered quest so making it non-MQable would do literally 0. It would just mean people would do the MQ before or after that step. No different than what we see happening with Ring 8, people either sell ring 7 MQ and then you just have to show up for a roll (increasing the number of rollers, one of the concerns you are trying to prevent) or sell ring 8 completed as an MQ component to get a ring 9.

So eliminating Skargus MQ would just create an economy of ring 1/ring 2 MQs, add to the amount of rollers at Angry (anyone who buys an MQ now will be attending rolls with the proposed change).

Any change that has no impact to the supply or demand of an item is meaningless.

Can't MQ step one as it's just turning in skins. Drusila and Sinew are MQ's but those can still be earned without rolling. My complaint is /ran 1000 rolls ONLY. If scout is non MQ, then Angry Goblin should also be non MQ.

Its a moot point, while head of skargus MQ technically exists in practice it actually doesn't. Dickheads (probably the same ones that do this to the velious armor mobs) keep dropping free to obtain ring 1s onto the turn in mob so anytime a head of skargus head gets turned in the quest completes with no availability for MQ.

CSR doesn't seem to care at all that players are doing the wrong thing and will do nothing to actually weed out the issue which is now creeping into more and more quest turn in mobs and there is no in game remedy to fix the issue aside from waiting for the rare event where a full server reset occurs. Oh yeah and CSR will provide no support to the player that gets defrauded by these dubious actions either whether you were doing an MQ or not, if your head gets eaten, which it will, you're shit out of luck.

So bad news is now we all get to live in a world where the supply of heads is being further reduced and the demand of heads is being further increased only making the circumstances around angry goblin even worse.

Can you turn in some skins to clear the npc?

I have tried 2 different "wives tales" methods (for lack of a better term). One is to turn in other items to the quest NPC to clear their inventory such as 4 pieces of food or for this mob 4 skins. The other is to kill the mob and respawn it.

Neither of these has worked and I've had a botched turn in occur after attempt both of these methods on different mobs.

I'm also told that a quake does not reset a quest mobs inventory either.

The only thing I know of that should for sure reset the mob and resolve the issue is a full server reset. So unless you arrange to do and MQ, both wait and then both log in and do it right after the server reset there is a near 100% chance the head will get eaten if you try and do an MQ. The last 3 heads I turned in all had a ring pre-loaded on the mob preventing MQ or partial turn in.

So how did you go about resolving this and can anyone confirm or deny that you cant kill the mob to clear their inventory? How could that possibly be?

I didn't, I lost 2 heads. Can confirm killing the mob 100% doesn't work. Only thing that appears to work for sure is a server reset.
