One other thing I had problems with was my Foundry char would lose all his items and armor it stayed gone even when I respecced I read you can delete and remake your foundry char but could never find out where or how to do this.
I eventually did rewrite the quest to avoid using the item just wondering if I was overlooking something in the Foundry. Thanks for the help. Im sure I will be back with more questions once I start making my next quest.
