Drying racks can change their id's after they have been placed and then unplaced. That's why in the Drying rack quest I mention you may have to make a new one to 'hand in'. Detection quests act differently in that they will require you to have the full required amount in your inventory before they will recognize you have completed the quest. This too is dependent on whether an item can change its id after being placed. Changing the 'detection' parameters doesn't always work either as sometimes it would mean accepting something I didn't want included and other times it would still not recognize an item based on it having changed its ID. I always try to make sure I test every quest to make sure it can be completed under all circumstances but sometimes I just won't think of a possibility at the time and it will slip past me.
Natura berries are a classic example of changing ID's after being placed, and one quest that got past me as I added it almost as an afterthought just before postingan update and used new berries to include them in the quest book. It was only after someone couldn't hand them in that I realized my mistake and had to do an interim update to solve the problem.
Having said this, I've just been going over and over and over checking the new update as I'm preparing to release it and regardless of how many times I've checked it, there is still a chance I've forgotten something or done something wrong and will have to fix it and release yet another update.
I always try to include new stuff to keep it interesting and this time around I've found myself removing some old stuff that really didn't need to be there and of course adding other stuff that should improve it somewhat. I'm sure someone will complain about what I've removed but I'm back to being restricted on not being able to add new quests without removing something. Gotta love the way HQM finds ways to keep me on my toes.......
