Is it possible to have the quest giver as an item rather than a mobile?

For example I am using this script for testing, is there a way to turn him into an item?

Yes it is. Guess how...
Yep, you guessed it: Xmlspawner ;)

You will need to attach XmlEdit to any item and then create the dialog like any other NPC. Make sure the item does not decay, or is spawned so it does not get "trashed" during a reboot. ;)
(with MondainQuesters, they were all meant to be mobiles, so you would have to code something entirely new.)

How did I know you were going to say that lol.. but are you able to use an existing quest with said item, my plan was to code all my quests ML style so you can keep track/do more than one/prettier haha

Here's an example of the quest line.. note I used a script generator to get the basics then I'll go in and completely mod it..

Yep, any item:
UO_te_xml_questitem_1.jpg
You can add attachments to players so quests reset over a period of time, or never (like a one and done quest).
Enjoy! ;)
(PM for support if you like :) )

lol that's awesome but I meant can it be linked to an already scripted quest, like lets just say the spellweaving quest for example.

Well the XmlEdit is the dialog you create and that is a cfg file, so you would have to re-create the quest as a cfg file.
It is a lot less painful than you think though. Mostly you are just copy/paste-ing lines of dialog from the script to the cfg (or XmlEdit window).
I have had to re-create several of those MondainQuesters, but not as Items. ;)

Yeah I was just hoping to use the ML quest system I like the way it works.. but I supposed I'll give XML a try, and lol yeah I didn't want Mobiles all over as I am going to have about 30 different quests all semi related next to each other so an item would work way better :)
