Similarly (out of era) Allakhazam lists the FS2HS as dropping off several Halas guards:
https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=3547
Interestingly however neither the short sword (
https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=168), scimitar (
https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=206) nor long sword (
https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=235) are listed as dropping off any Halas mobs. Only the 2hs.
Magelo reports the same: if you click on any Barb guards (in Halas or Everfrost, eg.
https://eq.magelo.com/npc/9202) it seems they all
only drop the 2HS ... currently on live.
So either: A) Both Magelo and Allakhazam have weirdly incorrect data for FS weapons in Halas/Everfrost, or B) on live Barb guards in both zones drop FS 2HS (exclusively).
And since B) seems far more likely, it's just a question of "did they start dropping those two-handers after the classic era?", and unfortunately I can't yet answer that.
