Medit - Mobile Editing

Mobiles should be balanced: a fairly hard fight should harvest a player around 200 exp. A VERY tough fight might give the player from 300 to 800 exp. The experience that a player will get from a mobile is determined by the level of the player Vs the level of the mob). The toughness of the fight is determined by the hitpoints, damage, hitroll, other flags, spec_functions, and the weapon the mob may or may not be carrying (which affects the mob's damage). When determining the hitpoint and damroll to put on your mobile, keep in mind how many IMMUNITIES and RESISTANCES you are also adding, and what ACT_FLAGS you are adding, as well as any spec_functions you might be giving that mobile. The more IMMUNITIES and RESISTANCES a mobile has, the tougher it is. If the mobile has a special combat function it is also tougher. If so, you might give it a hitpoint setting at the lower end of its level range. On the other hand, if the mobile has few IMMUNITES and RESISTANCES and no special function for combat, plus lots of VULNERABILITIES, you might give it hitpoints at the higher end of the hitpoint range.

1) NAME

Syntax: name
Example name Nuvynen storyteller historian man scholar

It's best to have more than one name per mobile. This stat value is will determine what the Player needs to type to do any action with the mob.
Ex: look ‘snail’
kill ‘snail’

2) ACT FLAGS

Syntax: act
Help: ? act
Example act sentinel mage warrior ranger unkillable

Act is short for "action" - Determines the in-game behavior of your mobile with ACT flags. Following is a listing of act flags:

FLAG	Description
NPC	Mobile is an NPC (set automatically by the game)
Mobile Movement
Sentinel	Mobile doesn't wander
stay_area	Mobile will not leave a zone (this should be set)
stay_sector	Mobile will not leave the type of sector (this should be set)
Mobile Classes
ranger	Mobile has ranger skills
druid	Mobile has druid skills
vampire	Mobile has vampire skills
cleric	Mobile has cleric casting powers
mage	Mobile has mage casting powers
thief	Mobile has thief combat skills (backstab, etc.)
undead	Mobile has special undead powers (i.e. life draining)
warrior	Mobile has warrior combat skills (disarm, parry, etc.)

nobd_drop	Mobile will drop everything at death (use with no body)
nopurge	Mobile isn't removed by the purge command
update_always	Mobile is always updated, even in idle zones (rarely needed)

Please use the ACT_CLASSES! Do not for common little things, but higher level mobs should all be some sort of class! See "Help Act" when in medit for mobs.

When building a shopkeeper, trainer, healer, or other mob that people shouldn't pick on, add act unkillable.

3) SEX

Syntax: sex
Help: ? sex
Example sex male

Mobile sex (as in gender, mobiles don't reproduce) can be none, male, female, neutral, or random. It has no real game effects, but does add color. It's a good idea to make generic mobiles (i.e. rabbits) sex 'random', just for variety. Of course, when you write a description for a 'random' gender mobile, be sure to not use any gender specific pronounds.

4) RACE

Syntax: race
Help: race ?
Example race human

Every mobile should have a race, whether it be goblin, orc, troll, or whatever. See the list below for some of the races that already exist. If you feel your race is sufficiently distinct to merit creation of a new one, include a note containing the abilities the race should have to the immortals you are working with so that they may see if it’s needed to add to the list. Each race specified also has a set list of their form and parts with them. I did not list them due to the fact that you can see them when you flag the mob a particular race.

unique	human	elf
dwarf	giant	pixie
halfling	halforc	goblin
halfelf	gnome	minotaur
ogre	avian	draconian
centaur	gnoll	heucuva
kenku	satyr	titan
bat	bear	cat
centipede	dog	doll
dragon	fido	fox
hobgoblin	kobold	lizard
modron	orc	pig
rabbit	school monster	snake
song bird	troll	water fowl
wolf	wyvern	deer
fish	shellfish	horse
insect	bull	bigcat
skeleton	undead	frog
demon	squirrel

5) LEVEL

Syntax: level
Example level 100

This is a very important statistic, as it determines the recommended values for your mobile's combat abilities. Try and make the level choice reasonable to believe. Just as a level 2 Ancient Blue Wyrm makes no sense, neither does a level 90 snail. Look over the recommended values for the level and please try to stay fairly close to them, otherwise your mobile may well be out of balance with the others in the game. It determines the mob’s thaco, hp, Ac, Exp given, and others. Please put much thought into this before making mobs. The mob levels range from 1 – 150. A good guideline is that a tough fight for a single player is a mob ten levels above their level, fifteen if they are second tier. A 40 - 50 area should have level 50 - 60 mobs for first tier.

6) LANGUAGE

Syntax: language
Help: ? language
Example language elven dwarvish giant faeril halflen orcish goblinese gnomish minotaurian ogrish

Just like players, mobiles can know languages. A mob set to a sentient race automatically knows that race's language, this allows for builders to set other languages that mobs such as scholars, historians, or traders would also know well. A mob cannot speak in a language they do not know, even in a trigger.

7) HITROLL

Syntax: hitroll
Example hitroll 5

This statistic is normally 0, but in mobiles with exceptional (and I do mean exceptional) combat abilities it may be higher. Clumsy mobiles may deserve a -1 or -2.
****No more than 1 hitroll for every 10 levels****
Example: A level 90 mob can have a MAX of 9 hitroll.

Remember that this is only if the mobile is an exceptional fighter, otherwise the ACT_CLASS flag will take care of hitroll and ThacO.

8) DAMAGE TYPES

Syntax: damtype
Help: ? weapon
Example damtype punch

A mobile's damage type defines three things:

1. What message is seen when it attacks in combat
2. What armor class is used to defend against the attack
3. What type of resistance or vulnerability affects the damage received from the attack.

The following damage types are supported, listed by the type of attack and the damage messaged sent (if a name follows the damage message, you should use that name in your area file, otherwise just use the message itself). If you have a suggestion for a new type, send it to the immortals along with which type of attack it is (piercing, bash(blunt), slash, magic)

Piercing attacks (pierce ac):
bite	pierce	sting
chomp	scratch	thrust
peck	stab
Bashing attacks (bash ac):
Beating	crush	smash
Blast	peck(peckb)	suction
Pound	punch	thwack
Charge	slap
Slashing attacks (slash ac):
claw	grep	slice
cleave	slash	whip
Acid attacks (magic ac):
digestion	slime	acidic bite (acbite)
Cold attacks (magic ac):
chill	freezing bite (frbite)
Energy attacks (magic ac):
magic	wrath
Fire attacks (magic ac):
flame	flaming bite (flbite)
Holy attacks (magic ac):
divine power (divine)
Lightning attacks (magic ac):
shock	shocking bite(shbite)
Negative attacks (magic ac):
life drain (drain)

The acceptable kinds of damage (some with no damage messages as yet) are:

summon	charm	magic	weapon
bash	pierce	slash	fire
cold	lightning	acid	poison
negative	holy	energy	mental
disease	drowning	light	sound
wood	silver	iron	earth
wind

Summon, charm, harm, disease, and poison are generally used only on spells, but are included here on the outside chance that a mobile might need them.

9) HITPOINTS

Syntax: hitdice
Example hitdice 100 d 10 999

Hitpoints are determined as a roll of the dice: e.g. 2d10+100 would give that mobile a hitpoint range, on reset, of 100 to 120 hitpoints.
*Please view the Mob HP page (http://mdhavian.servegame.org/building/mobhp.html) for their damage values*

10) DAMAGE

Syntax: damdice
Example damdice 10 d 2 20

Affects how HARD the mobile will hit you. This value will be augmented by the average damage of the weapon the mobile is carrying if you use the Object Reset in the resets section to give the mobile a weapon.
*Please view the Mob HP page (http://mdhavian.servegame.org/building/mobhp.html) for their damage values*

11) MANA

Syntax: mana
Example mana 100 d 10 999

Mana is also determined as a roll of the dice, and give it the amount of mana a cleric or warrior player (depending on the mobile) at that mobiles level, might have. Stat players on the mud for their mana stats. If you don't want to bother with this just put in leveld11+10 for all mobiles, in the mana section. A mob should have mana if it’s supposed to! Just don’t disregard this section. Some spells deliberately sap a mob’s mana.

12) AFFECT FLAGS

Syntax: aff
Help: ? affect
Example aff detect_invis detect_hidden farsight dark_vision

Affect flags are used to assign various spell and spell-like effects to a mobile, such as hidden, or detections. The following list contains all usable affect flags:

detect_evil	Mobile can sense evil
detect_invis	Mobile can see invisible. **
detect_magic	Mobile can see magic
detect_hidden	Mobile can see hidden (sneaking/hiding) characters
detect_good	Mobile can sense good
faerie_fire	Mobile is surrounded by faerie fire (a hindrance)
infrared	Mobile can see heat sources in the dark
farsight	Mobile has farsight (can see details in scan)
sneak	Mobile is sneaking (hard to detect while moving)
hide	Mobile is hiding (cannot be seen without detect hidden)
flying	Mobile is flying
pass_door	Mobile can walk through closed doors
haste	Mobile is affected by a haste spell
dark_vision	Mobile can see in the dark without a light source
swim	Mobile is swimming (or capable of swimming)
regeneration	Mobile recovers hit points and mana faster than usual
slow	Mobile is affected by a slow spell
weaken	Mobile is affected by a weaken spell
berserk	Mobile is berserk – same as frenzy spell
plague	Mobile has the plague and can infect players
calm	Mobile is affected by a calm spell
charm	Mobile is permcharmed unless dispelled
	makes mob ‘cute and cuddly’ and impossible to attack
sleep	Mobile is affected by a sleep spell
poison	Mobile is infected with poison
curse	Mobile is cursed
blind	Mobile is blinded (can't see to retaliate)
grip	Mobile has a firm grip on any weapon
bandage	Mobile is bandaged (improves health regeneration)
ready_weapon	Mobile is able to ready a weapon (not really useful)
entangled	Mobile is tangled up, unable to move unless untangled

13) SHIELD FLAGS

Syntax: shield
Help: ? shield
Example shield ice fire shock sanctuary

Shield flags are used to assign various shield effects to a mobile, such as sanctuary. The following list contains all usable shield flags:

invisible	Mobile is invisible
ice	Mobile has an ice shield
fire	Mobile has a fire shield
shock	Mobile has a shock shield
sanctuary	Mobile is protected by a sanctuary spell. **
protect_voodoo	Mobile is protected from voodoo (don't set)
blade_barrier	Mobile is surrounded by whirling blades (cleric spell)
ethe_hands	Mobile is protected by ethereal hands (necro spell)
thorn_envelope	Mobile is protected by an envelope of thorns (druid spell)
imp_invis	Mobile cannot be seen by a mortal (Don’t use please without consent from the head builder(s))

** Sanctuary is often overused, so please be careful with it. Not every hard mobile should have a sanctuary spell.

Example: a glowing ghost might have faerie fire and flying. There is no limit to the number of affect flags that may be set on a mobile.

14) ARMOR CLASS

Syntax: armor
Example armor –200 –200 –200 -110

In order, the 4 armor class values for a mobile are piercing (i.e. daggers and spears), bashing (i.e. clubs, rocks), slashing (swords and axes), and magical (everything else). Usually the first three will be fairly close to each other (it's nice to have them be a little different, however), and the magical AC will be considerably weaker. This value is also affected by an armor you give your mobile to wear, using the Object reset to give eq to your mobile in the RESETS section. Don't make all values the same. Use the MobAC chart for these values
*Please view the Mob HP page (http://mdhavian.servegame.org/building/mobhp.html) for their damage values*

15) FORM FLAGS

Syntax: form
Help: ? form
Example form magical

The forms flag is used to define a body form for your mobile and also related data like what happens to its corpse when it dies, and whether or not it is edible. A lot of these Form fields, as well as the Parts are pre-set when you select a pre-made race. If you decided not to pick a race, you should select Forms and Parts as you see fit. Please be as thorough as possible when defining your mobile. The acceptable flags for body form are as follows:

Corpse-related flags:
edible	Mobile can be eaten
poison	Mobile is poisonous when eaten (should also be edible)
magical	Mobile's magic nature causes strange effects when eaten
instant_decay	Mobile vanishes after death (i.e. a wraith)
other	Mobile is not flesh and blood (defined by material type)
Form-related flags:
animal	Mobile is a "dumb" animal
sentient	Mobile is capable of higher reasoning
undead	Mobile is an undead, and not truly alive at all
construct	Mobile is a magical construct, such as a golem
mist	Mobile is a partially material mist
intangible	Mobile is immaterial (like a ghost)
biped	Mobile is bipedal (like a human)
centaur	Mobile has a humanoid torso, but a beast's lower body
insect	Mobile is an insect
spider	Mobile is an arachnid
crustacean	Mobile is a crustacean (i.e. a crab or lobster)
worm	Mobile is a worm, that is a tube-shaped invertebrate
blob	Mobile is a formless blob (when used with mist, a cloud)
mammal	Mobile is a mammal
bird	Mobile is a bird
reptile	Mobile is a reptile (and should be cold-blooded)
snake	Mobile is a snake (and should be a reptile)
dragon	Mobile is a dragon
amphibian	Mobile is an amphibian (and should be able to swim)
fish	Mobile is a fish (and should be able to swim)
cold blood	Mobile is cold-blooded, cannot be seen with infravis.

16) PARTS FLAGS

Syntax: part
Help: ? part
Example part wings feet

The body parts flag is used to detail what limbs and organs a creature has. In the future, body parts may determine what can be worn by the creature in question, what kinds of things can be done to corpses by them (skinning, plucking, etc), and special attacks (i.e. the tail attack which requires a tail) that the mobile may do, so please do try to be thorough in describing your mobile's body parts. Tail should only be set if the tail is strong enough to be used as a weapon, for example a dragon should have tail set, but not a donkey. Suggestions for additions to the list should be sent to the immortals.

head	arms	legs	heart
brains	guts	hands	feet
fingers	ear	eye	long_tongue
eyestalks	tentacles	fins	wings
tail	claws	fangs	horns
scales	tusks	hooves	feathers
beak

17) IMMUNITIES, RESISTANCES and VULNERABILITIES.

Syntax: imm|res|vuln
Help: ? imm
Example imm charm acid

Mobiles have different immunities, resistances, and vulnerabilities both to better explain certain creatures (i.e. dragons) and to make fighting them take a little more strategy than just mindlessly pumping out damage. Most normal mobiles probably won't have much in the way of these flags, so don't add flags without sound reason. Choose a few that reflect the nature of the creature. It's important to make shopkeeper-type mobiles (as well as guild masters, healers, etc.) immune to summon, charm, magic, and weapons just to insure that they cannot be killed. Similarly, weak, low-level mobiles (goblins, for example) might be made vulnerable to magic just to accent their weakness. All three flags share the same fields, which are as follows:

summon	Summoning and gating magic
charm	Charm spells (the beguiling spell group)
magic	All magic (be very careful using this flag)
weapons	All physical attacks (be very careful using this flag)
bash	Blunt weapons
pierce	Piercing weapons
slash	Slashing weapons
Fire	Flame and heat attacks and spells
Cold	Cold and ice attacks and spells
Lightning	Electrical attacks and spells
Acid	Corrosive attacks and spells
Poison	Venoms and toxic vapors
Negative	Life draining attacks and spells, or unholy energies
Holy	Holy or blessed attacks
Energy	Generic magical force (i.e. magic missile)
Mental	Mental attacks (such as a mind flayer's mind blasts)
Disease	Disease, from the common cold to the black death
Drowning	Watery attacks and suffocation
Light	Light-based attacks, whether blinding or cutting
Sound	Sonic attacks and weapons, or deafening noises
Wood	Wooden weapons and creatures
Silver	Silver or mithril weapons and creatures
Iron	Iron and steel weapons and creatures
Earth	Earth based spells and attacks
Wind	Wind based spells and attacks

Note: Resist the temptation to make "Achilles Heel" style mobiles, that is creatures that are immune (or almost immune) to all but a single attack type. Such mobiles are extremely boring to fight, and ultimately not very hard to defeat. Strive to make a balanced mobile, with no flags that aren't explainable by its nature. True immunities should be relatively rare, and vulnerability can be countered by resists.

Example: a fire demon might be immune to fire and negative energy, resistant to mental attacks and weapons, and vulnerable to holy attacks as well as cold.

18) OFFENSIVE FLAGS

Syntax: off
Help: ? off
Example off area_attack dodge trip

Offensive flags control mobile behavior in combat -- allowing some variety in how your mobiles fight back against players. A typical mobile should have a few (2-3) attack abilities and one or none defensive abilities, more skilled mobiles may have more, but try not to make them too flexible.

The following offensive flags are available, although not all are currently active (please use them anyway if they are appropriate, as they will be enabled at some future date):

area attack	Mobile hits all characters fighting against it. Very powerful.
backstab	Mobile can backstab to start a combat
bash	Mobile can bash characters off their feet
berserk	Mobile may go berserk in a fight
disarm	Mobile can disarm _without_ a weapon wielded**
dodge	Mobile dodges blows
fade	Mobile can fade "out of phase" to avoid blows
fast	Mobile is faster than most others, so has extra attacks
kick	Mobile can kick in combat for extra damage
dirt_kick	Mobile kicks dirt, blinding opponents
parry	Mobile can parry _without_ a weapon wielded**
rescue	Mobile may rescue allies in a fight
tail	Mobile can legsweep with its tail or tentacles
trip	Mobile trips in combat
crush	Mobile can crush opponents in its arms
assist_all	Mobile will assist anyone being attacked
assist_race	Mobile will assist anyone of its race who is attacked
assist_players	Mobile will assist a player who is attacked
assist_guard	Mobile will assist guard Mobiles
assist_vnum	Mobile will assist other Mobiles of its vnum

** warrior and thief mobs (see ACT flags) can disarm and parry with a weapon wielded automatically

***NOTE: Offensive flags and the mobile’s class should go hand in hand. A warrior mobile can probably disarm, bash, parry, etc, while a cleric should not have these flags…but maybe the cleric will have kick, while in conjunction with their cleric special function(explained later).

Assisting by race and vnum are by the far the most common assist types.

Notes: The area attack and fast flags are quite powerful, and mustn't be overused. Only the most powerful mobiles should be capable of area attack, and only mobiles that really are faster than most should be fast. Proper assist flag setting can greatly enhance the cooperation within an area.

Example: An orc might have bash, kick, and dirt_kick (it will probably be a warrior, so will parry and disarm if armed), and will assist by race and vnum. There is no limit to the number of offensive flags that may be set on a mobile.

19) SIZE

Syntax: size
Help: ? size
Example size medium

The size of the mobile has many game effects, and should be chosen carefully. If the mobile is based off Dungeons and Dragons, the Monster Manual will list the mobile's size. The acceptable sizes are as follows:

tiny:	small birds and anything smaller
small:	large birds (ducks and up) to halflings
medium:	elves and dwarves to humans
large:	ogres, gnolls, and other large humanoids
huge:	giants, small dragons, and wyverns
giant:	for VERY large critters, i.e. titans, and the biggest giants
colossal:	for ENORMOUSLY large critters, i.e. dragons, dinosaurs, and other creatures

20) START and DEFAULT POSITION

Syntax: position
Help: ? position
Example position start standing

The start position is the position a mobile will be loaded in, the default position is the position it returns to after a fight. These are often the same, but a sleeping mobile (for example) is not likely to go back to sleep. The acceptable positions are:

sleeping	tethered	resting	sitting
standing

21) SILVER

Syntax: wealth
Example wealth 500

Don't load your mobile up with money. The code works with silver. A good rule of thumb is:
*A mob should have no more than 33 silver per level*

This should be the MAX a mob would have if they were rich. Also, if the Mob is unintelligent, it is likely to have no valuables, and hence, not have any money to sack. Unintelligent mobs should have a money value of Zero!(Example: any common mammals, undead, etc.) Shopkeepers that are able to buy things from player should have several thousand silver, but that also depends on how rich the surrounding area is, and how wealthy the shop is likely to be. It is legitimate to make some shopkeepers have very little or no money to buy things back with, they then only have money to buy after someone else has purchased something.

22) SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

Syntax: spec
Help: ? spec
Example spec spec_cast_mage

Special functions for your mobile. Keeps in mind that giving your mobile special functions may make it anywhere from a little to a LOT tougher.

Of the combat special functions, the least nasty are the spec_breath ones. Harder yet is the special_cast_cleric function. Mobiles with special_cast_mage and spec_cast_undead are very tough!, and because of the possibility of players being drained, should be given these special functions only if they are a prize to fight..e.g. they hold the key to a treasure, or guard the gateway to an area, or wear powerful equipment. New specials can be requested, but don't rely on someone else being willing to code one for you. At this time, no mobile may have more than one special procedure. A list of special functions available, and what spells they contain is below:

spec_breath_any	Mobile may use any breath weapon
spec_breath_acid	Mobile breathes acid in combat
spec_breath_fire	Mobile breathes fire in combat (area attack)
spec_breath_frost	Mobile breathes frost in combat (area attack)
spec_breath_gas	Mobile breathes poison gas in combat (area attack)
spec_breath_lightning	Mobile breathes lightning in combat
spec_cast_adept	Mobile casts helpful spells on low-level players
spec_cast_cleric	Mobile casts clerical spells (ALWAYS cleric act flag)
spec_cast_judge	Mobile fires bullets (for Mega-City One only)
spec_cast_mage	Mobile casts mage spells (ALWAYS set the mage act flag)
spec_cast_undead	Mobile casts spells appropriate for the undead
spec_executioner	Mobile attacks Killers and Thieves
spec_fido	Mobile devours corpses
spec_guard	Mobile protects people from attack
spec_janitor	Mobile cleans up junk lying on the ground
spec_poison	Mobile has a poison attack
spec_thief	Mobile steals gold (ALWAYS set the thief act flag)
spec_nasty	Mobile attacks, robs, and runs (ALWAYS set thief flag)
spec_dog_pee	Mobile will occasionally take a leak on someones leg.
spec_cast_clan_adept	Mobile casts spells

The following specials are coded, but should NOT be used because they are tailored to specific mobiles. Check them out online for examples of unique or area-specific specials that can possibly be coded for your mobiles:

spec_mayor	Mobile has the midgaard mayor spec (Don't use)
spec_patrolman	Mobile tries to break up fights (gangland mobs only)

23) SHORT DESCRIPTION

Syntax: short
Example short Nuvynen the scholar

The short description is seen when the mobile fights or performs actions. It should be kept fairly short, preferably 20 characters or less. Unless it is a proper name, it should start with a or an in lower case (it is automatically converted to upper case when it starts a sentence).

Example: "A busy bee" hops up and down.

Here in the quotes is what the short description is. "a busy bee"

24) LONG DESCRIPTION

Syntax: long
Example long Nuvynen the scholar sits here, intently studying a book.

The long description is seen whenever a character looks at the room a mobile is in (provided, of course, that they can see the mobile in question).

Example: The busy bee flies around here happily.

Ideally it should be one line in length, but in some cases two line or longer long descriptions are justified.

25) MOBILE DESCRIPTION (look)

Syntax: desc
Example desc

This is the equivalent of a character's description, and is seen when you look at a mobile. It can be as long as you like, but 1-5 lines is probably best. Try and make it at least a little descriptive, players should feel rewarded for looking at a mobile.

26) SHOPS

Syntax: shop
Help: shop ?
Help: ? type
Example shop assign

A. Shop hours: First Open hour - Last Open hour
The first and last hour of the day at which the shop is open. The shop will open at the beginning of the first open hour and close after the end of the last open hour. Legal values for both fields are numbers from 0 (midnight) to 23 (the last hour before midnight). For a shop to be open all the time, code 0 and 23, but really now, not many do that. You can also have a shop open from 20 to 6 for those night owls.

B. Shop profit: Sale markup
The percentage of the object's nominal value (as coded into the value field of the object) at which the shop will sell the item. Code 130 if you want the shop to make a 30 percent profit. A general guideline is that the sale markup should not be less than 125 percent. Note that the HAGGLE skill may allow some players to get better prices than those you establish here. Do not code a percent sign! And never code a value less than 100!

C. Shop profit: Buyback rate
This is the percentage of the object's nominal value at which the shop will buy such an item if a player sells it to the shop. A general guideline is that the buyback value should not be more than 75 percent. Note that the HAGGLE skill may allow some players to get better prices than those you establish here. Do not code a percent sign! And never code a value greater than 100!

D. Shop type: Types of items a shop will buy
There can be up to five different types of items that a shopkeeper will buy back from a player. Enter them using 0 through 4 and the same item type as used in oedit (? type will show the current list). Not all shopkeepers need this set, as they will sell everything loaded into their inventory.

27) MOBPROGS

Please see Kwirlie’s guide to mobprogs or Joxtur for this ;)

28) Questmaster Items

Syntax: addquestreward vnum questpoints
Example addquestreward 10000 500

Questmasters need to have act flags questmaster and unkillable set. Their item list is built completely from the list added to the mob using addquestreward. If you need to remove an item from the list, use delquestreward number.

And don’t forget!

SAVE! SAVE! SAVE! SAVE! SAVE! SAVE! SAVE! SAVE! SAVE! SAVE! SAVE! SAVE!

(asave changed)
