All four false bars are back with your quest giver, and not one ally is the wiser.	125%	Yes; one reward tier higher
Your quest giver won back some of the false gold before the allies found it out.	100%	Yes
None of the false gold came back, and your quest giver's allies learned the truth.	No added payment	No

With Questlines enabled, these outcomes control the added rewards. Gold multipliers apply only to gold the quest actually pays. A gear choice offers a weapon, armour and jewellery; keep one. See Quest rewards and loot for rarity, payment and online reward rules.
