Instead of manually handling out armor sets, why not having a special "Event Prize NPC" who handles out rewards against items.
When you get to the NPC, you first get a list of events with pending prizes. Then you choose the event, and get a list of options. Once you've chosen an option in the prices, the NPC asks to submit a list of required items, and when you've filled the list of required items you get the reward back in a loot window. For armors (and possibly clothes) you have two options one of each.
If the point is to have interaction with the players, instead you hand out a "bill of materials" against a reward. That bill is "given" to a Storage Manager who process the bill of materials, possibly asking for F or M (or some other option) and you get the items on the list in a loot window (generated automatically).
Those kinds of NPCs, either a general reward NPC or a Storage Manager could also handle the exchange of things like CLD token for a CLD deed.
To be fun for other players others than those who have won an event, there could be other uses aswell; the adj pixie set could be handed out as a "bill of material" instead of in a loot window and somehow also somethign that all players could get (trying to figure something out here lol), maybe pay the mining NPC in PA 10 ped, then you get a bill of material for a set of basic mining stuff (finder, excavator, refiner, probes for the rest) and you get it all in one package. Or a 5 ped with Kiwio MKII(L)+ammo - that "hunting backage deed" could then be given to someone else and check out the materials. (For it to be useful for beginners, the material dude should be conveniently located, for instance near docks in port atlantis.)
The main advantage will "bill of material" approach would be that an official rep wouldn't have to carry hundreds of armor parts but rather a pile of deeds. Then it has to be checked, so not wrong deed is handled out by mistake (as all deeds looks the same) (having seen the thread about the guy who sold his privateer instead of a CLD). Maybe the MA rep should have some kind of tool to automatically select the kind of deed is matching the content in the trade window.
. I will be getting more during the coming week and can exchange robot parts any time I'm online so feel free to add "Xenobiologist Charles Marvin" to FL.
