I decide it's probably smart enough by now for general instructions: try to gain the following things, without a specific order: Construction ability (IE: the power to make things or machines or tools) Knowledge of the world (IE: physical laws,how to spells work.) general power and more intelligence.
I uh... don't know what the supplys are. i ask you what they are and how valuable they are. if they are of low/medium value, I point out that I've helped out with the goblin situation and stuff, so if the items aren't too important...
I scoop up the rest of the supplies and put them in my bag, leaving enough for just one homunculus. I also add some tinfoil to the stuff so that my homunculus is protected from psychic damage. I start casting the spell. Homunculi are so cute I want one.

lets see... it says worth 1000 gold or more. what if I find one worth 10,000 gold? or better? If the answer to that question is "the resulting homuncolus is higher quality", I run off to try and find a ridiculously expensive dagger... or some high quality gems, such as a bright green emerald (10,000G),or black opal (also 10,000 G), or something (suggested via this random website), to embed into the hilt of an otherwise normal dagger.
"Hoooooowwwww about a deep blue star sapphire? Worth 75,000 GP!" I start shifting around all my ceremonial jewelry/signs of rank in the paladins of beer around until I find something. "Ah! Here it is! I got it for obliterating my first minor eldritch god! You can have it, I've got a bunch more in stock. I mean, obliteration of eldritch evils is basically my only job besides getting drunk and occasionally stabbing evildoers/people that really piss me off. Being a paladin of beer has lots of upsides, and not many downsides!
I hand the amulet w/gem to JOE, and use another in my homunculus. "Oh. Darn. Seems I'll only have 3 left after this. Used up the rest of them making homunculi back home."
I throw some black dragon scales and 3 beholder eye stalks into the mix, then sprinkle in some hair plucked from Demogorgon's back.

(yeah, wooby gave the supplys, but if the new one also has an intelligence cap, i might need another new one later, with better materials) I sprint off to a library to find a book about homunculi, and find out how best to take advantage of higher-G value daggers, as well as any materials you can add for higher intelligence.

I tell it to find a way to overcome the biological limits of its brain, maybe making another it with a higher max intelligence.

I pull out a bag of holding and proceed to dump out a bunch of materials that could be used for creating a homunculus, as well as a mind flayer brain.
