i've noticed that sometimes, for certain quests, the order in which the rewards are listed varies with seemingly no reason. that is to say, usually the rewards are listed as "sP AND item AND quest point" but other times they're listed as "item AND sP AND quest point" and other times still i'll get "sP AND quest point AND item."

any idea if there is any rhyme or reason to these differences? i'll get multiple variants even across the same quest giver, so it's not like the different quest givers have different orders... idk, it's kind of silly and inconsequential but i'm very curious about it.

It used to be that the first item was an item that you were sure to get at all for doing the quest and any second items were random extras or bonuses. Quest points came later so they got added later. Bonus items for WSQs or whatever quest modification reason staff is currently doing then came after that in the queue.

Some quest grantors didn't used to give sP, or if they did it wasn't a sure thing. This is why sP is sometimes second.
