"edit: u/Bhruic was so kind and turned the fix into a mod

After a bunch of testing and experimentation here is a possible fix for the currently (probably) bugged quest rewards in B317.

By changing the order of the rewards for quests we can circumvent a (likely) bug, caused by the skillbook bundle. The pastebinned xml just moves the skillbooks down to just above steel for every quest.

Replace your quests.xml with the following content: https://pastebin.com/GAjzRL2q
