Course all the above assumes the mistake wasn't yours and you didn't do something like hand the NPC crushed onyx sapphire instead of chipped onyx sapphire, which have identical inventory graphics in addition to the similar names. If you did happen to do that, it's unlikely you'd even be able to tell, now.

I can confirm it was the chipped, as I still have the crushed for the cap turn-in. Had that lined up for tomorrow, possibly day after. I even had them seperated in the inventory, and further seperated after a double check to an open slot in the non-bag inventory before turn-in.

As I said in another post, I'm absolutely paranoid about turn-ins and take all the possible precautions I can take, several times over, to ensure nothing terrible happens.

At any rate, only way you'd have recourse is if there's evidence of a deliberate scam, and even then they'd just take action against the other guy, not refund your stuff. Hence /petitioning him might not be in your best interest even if you suspect a scam since you can't get a full or partial refund from a guy who's suspended. As noted earlier, though, a deliberate scam is unlikely. More likely is some snafu like insufficient faction or someone handing in the wrong item.

The public post is useful as a realtime warning that the thurgadin druid NPC is quite probably presently unsafe for druid leg slot Multiquest activities.

After someone receives the item from said npc, that npc will smile at you while he hands you your reward
Cobi has a fucked up grill you would've noticed his gangly ass teeth if the MQer got the lootz.

Well you said the Monk is from a good/reputable guild, which is usually enough for me and many others BUT just as a precaution it's probably good to get into the habit of asking for the link of the item they will be MQing to you. Sorry if you already said this.

I just wanted to add something I've heard to do before doing the Thurg/Kael/SS MQs was to give the quest npc 4 disposable items such as 4 waters or something to clear their inventory before doing the MQ.

It came up when I was paying for an MQ for my monks bracer and I've been doing it since then. Whether it actually does anything is anybody's guess. Maybe somebody else with more understanding of the mechanics can chime in regarding this practice.

hi

We won't help with reimbursement of items, but we are happy to help you find out what went wrong.

The logs show you both turned in the correct items. If the NPC was preloaded with gems the player that sold you the MQ would have received the legs, but in this case he didn't.

You turned in the gems about 30 seconds later so 1 of two things likely happened.

1. Another player sniped your legs(unlikely)
2. The player selling the MQ didn't have the right faction.

I won't put that player on blast, but happy to provide you with his name if you PM me or make a petitions / exploits forums post. You can reach out to him about trying to make it right.

Can you actually see if a player hands in gems unstacked or not? Im not doubting OP at all that he did, just wondering myself if guides can see that sort of thing.

Pretty sure you can't hand stacks to NPCs. You'll get an error message
