Quests which ask for a random item to be collected

• Possible names and the matching amounts to pick from are all passed to the action which picks and stores
• Idea is to store itemname=amount in substrings of quest slot e.g. collecting;wood=10;113795759595 or in whole slot like nihonto=1
• Then the checking if equipped conditions and Drop Actions only need to know the questslot name to get item name and amount
• This would mean the equipped conditions and drop actions could be used also for other quests where a single item and amount was stored in this way
• Another option is not to store the amount, but just the item, and pass the equipped condition and drop actions the full map of items to amounts each time. it felt wasteful but...

Current quests with a randomly selected item to collect:

mithril cloak quest 'initial steps'

requires 1 from a list 3 items

currently stored like machine;itemname

Ok with what i have so far as I default to amount 1 if I can't split the quest slot on =

obsidian knife quest

requires 100 of 3 items

currently stored with itemname only in quest slot

Not ok with what I have so far, would be ok with alternate option

daily item quest

requires 1 of a huge list of items

currently stored with itemname in slot like itemname;timestamp;number of times completed

Ok with what i have so far as I default to amount 1 if I can't split the quest slot on =

weekly item quest

as for daily item quest

Current quests which store what to collect in the slot but didn't have a random element:

There's the long lists of items quests

(ElvishArmor, WeaponsCollector ..) but they already have ok logic

There's the lists of items with quantities too quests,

(CrownForWannabeKing, HerbsForCarmen) again they just got logic done recently, they're fine.
