Manwinc, all that script speak at top of your post is beyond my comprehension! (I truly wish i knew how to glance at it & say 'ahh, OK, got'cha now!' some day hopefully, some day!)
as for the items in the 'reward bag', dubbed 'Bulging Museum Bag' that Axem gives for the quest that are not stackables, 'Oracle' posted a list (not sure if it's complete) here
http://www.scriptuo.com/index.php?topic=3260.0;wap2 the 3 types of books that have 'Edition' names underneath titles are always same color for their 'edition': White = Collector's Edition , Orange = Limited Edition , Black with purple hue= First Edition. these books also come in non- edition types and a myriad of colors. the bags always have same ID name but also come in various colors. the contents are always 1 book, 1 pile of gold (just over 10,000 pieces) and the gems/ ingredients always number 10 different items, so the bag contains 12 items total.
ok, stackables are :
9 types of 'small' gems (the originals that UO had on almost every monster known, especially dragons)
8 types of 'large' gems (the gems that came into UO w/ the launch of Stygian Abyss expansion)
luminescent fungi
parasitic plant
gold pieces
Axem is not a static spawn, he does move about the museum. you do not have to be 'line of sight' (i recall in on ground floor, hold cntrl+shift, drag up his name bar and D-click his name bar to work my 'donations' ) it just occurred to me, the gems being stacked would not be a major weight issue & the gold can be sent to bank after every 4-5 turn-in with bag of sending. maybe that's easier than recalling to & fro ? stacking empty bags on ground would save item count in backpack also.
OK, lastly on your questionaire: ALL 'Untranslated Ancient Tome' are black in color, no matter what monster drops'em.
if there is any other way i can assist you, i'll be more than glad to Sir!!
