"Struck through the heart" (GLD r36 quest) giving lower reward than it was expected.

[Lienn]

The guild quest gave me a reward lower than the default amount for that rank quest. It gave only 25200 gil and 2520 marks instead of the default 30000 gil and 3000 marks.

If this is the quest I think it is, you HAD to make 3 daggers to get the full reward.

I remember I only made 1 - because the text implied that you only had to make ONE.
I'd blame the text for being so misleading.

There's one other r36 quest that doesn't seem to give the right amount either but I don't remember which quest that was.

[Lienn]

That's strange...because usually if you need 3 daggers the journal does not update befor you do so.

I just double-checked the journal log and in any moment it was asked for me to do more daggers...very odd indeed. But either way its a bug...or the reward is wrong or the quest log/marks are wrong.

Yeah something is off about the quest - that I won't deny. Either the wording needs to be fixed, the quest requirements changed or something.
