How the NPC chooses an item

1. Take the mean of its positive configured interest-rule weights, counting each rule once, before filtering stocked items.
2. Ignore resolved item interests below the mean.
3. Count existing cargo and equipment. Stackable items need a total of 8, non-stackable items need 1. Ask only for the missing amount.
4. Exclude deliveries that cannot fit without cargo eviction.
5. Choose among the remaining candidates with selection weight mean / itemWeight.

An item exactly at the mean gets weight 1. An item twice the mean gets weight 0.5. High-interest items are rarer requests; low-interest items are excluded. Tags resolve to concrete registered items, and normal exact-item/tag precedence still applies.

Completion rewards

Personal reputation = personalReward + floor(max(0, itemWeight − mean))

With the default base 5, an item five weight points above the mean gives 10 personal reputation. This is a reward for the delivery, not multiplied by item count. Faction reward is the configured flat amount.

Money value = floor(basePrice × requestedCount × currencyRewardMultiplier). It uses the configured currency solver and is generated as a completion reward, not paid from the NPC's existing coin stock. Reputation price discounts are not used to inflate/discount this reward.

The request is a persistent shared request on that NPC, not an independent repeatable instance for every player. Its quote/token keep a selected delivery/reward stable. Completion consumes the whole requested amount, transfers the items into NPC cargo and gives the reward atomically; no partial hand-in. Requests match the base item, not a particular GunId or component variant. Delivery items come from the player's main inventory/hotbar.

Reputation amounts are not revealed in the request's dialogue. Actual reputation changes are shown temporarily above the hotbar after completion. Another player can complete the shared request first; an old dialogue is not authority to complete it twice.

If no request appears, check interests, mean, the NPC's current stock, free cargo space, cooldown and effective reputation.
