I took it to mean calling the task activity update method from within sub EVENT_DEATH, which works.

As the kill activity is very common, having a lookup table (ID of activity, ID of mob) seems worth doing. Especially as you can attach this list/set to the activity in a field once it is loaded from the DB.

My concern was, in the case of an Orc Centurion, having to check through a list of 40 NPCIDs every time the player killed something to see if he had killed an Orc Centurion. It occurs to me now that if the list is sorted, I could do a binary search on larger lists, so maybe it wouldn't be so bad
I could always include both methods and have a flag to indicate whether the activity count update was to come from a quest, or be checked from a list.
