I have tried about every way I can think of to call for a special named item with the COLLECTNAMED objective, and no matter how I arrange the itemname,customname and amount I always seem to get it wrong.
It is a basket - named Herb Basket and I only need one.
help?

the syntax is
COLLECTNAMED,itemname[,itemtype][,count][,proptest]
so you would use
COLLECTNAMED,Herb Basket,basket

When I set it up that way I get teh following in my questlog:
Collect basket 1(s) named basket (Herb Basket Left)
I have rearranged the pieces a bunch of ways and cannot get it to say collect basket 1(s) named Herb Basket (1 left)
Im not sure what the problem is.

sorry, that is a formatting bug in XmlQuestHolderGumps.cs. It only affects the display so you can temporarily get around it by specifying a description string explicitly. The objective will still be handled correct,it just isnt being displayed properly.
I have posted a fix in beta_20_v313.zip

you can set the Description1, Description2, etc. properties to override the default descriptions of the quest objectives. Like
questholder/name/blah/objective1/COLLECTNAMED,Herb Basket,basket/description1/Seek out and collect the Herb Basket.
and then in the objective description you will see in the quest gump will be
Seek out and collect the Herb Basket.
instead of the default objective description.
