I was confused a bit at first, but after reading it again I'm pretty sure he means you can either give him 100fg per game and then earn the chance to cash in on his needs list if you find any of them -or- you pay 0fg per game but if you find one of the items he needs on his list you do not get the reward.
Correct me if I'm wrong mate, great idea too by the way.
Thank you for clarifying this and you are 100% correct. With a full clear you should hopefully get at least a new sunder charm, so the 100 Forum Gold can fairly easy be compensated that way. And then hopefully getting a reward

PM'd both germantank22 and Kopiman.
Bump - Available for a new game if anyone should need.
