Looting Items in Quests Not Updating Quest - Work-Around

It appears that a number of quests that involve looting items from mob corpses (or otherwise obtaining items) are not properly updating.  You get the item but the quest does not register the item as obtained and does not advance the quest.

A work-around until it is fixed it to hand the item(s) to a pet (or an NPC not involved in the quest).  The pet (or NPC) will tell you they have no use for the item(s) and hand them back.  This should update your quest. Be sure to click the Give button in the trade window and actually give the item to the pet or NPC.

[Mon Feb 17 20:13:07 2025] You complete the trade with PETNAME.
[Mon Feb 17 20:13:07 2025] Your task 'The Body of the Beast' has been updated.

I was able to get this fixed internally this morning. Right now I'm doing my best to get it approved for the update next week.
