Basically the key to getting the full reward is to meet Quina in the catacombs. It doesn't matter if you then 'port out and obtain a pilgrim's amulet by other means.

Similarly, carrying one in your inventory will automatically make meeting Quina impossible, not the action of receiving the quest and then getting a pilgrim's amulet afterwards.

Quest received > do you have item in inventory? > Quina doesn't meet you in the catacombs.

I had one on me when I received the quest, which meant the quest automatically advanced to the final stage and Quina no longer appears in the catacombs. Thus partial reward.
