Issue: Water Sprinkler of Nem'Anhk is currently clickable from inventory. This functionality was not in game until Q4 2004, well after the time line proposed for this server.

Fix: Remove inventory clickability from Water Sprinkler of Nem'Anhk

2003 EQ Clerics' thread asking why it wasn't clickable:

The title says it all - but let me explain anyway.

For clerics in high end guilds - the stats on the cleric epic are lacking (no hp). Thats understandable as its an old item. But, due to the effect we have to click it often - so if we upgrade to something with more adequate stats we are forced to swap the epic in quite often.

Now, a single little change would remove this needless inconvinience without adding any sort of power.

Make the cleric epic clickable from inventory - please.

Please Sony, all us clerics ask you to make the epic clickable from the inventory. Even if we have to do a side quest to make this happen.

The epic has a cool effect but the rest is so many expansions behind.

Basically, every class is going to have issues with what weapon type their epic is. There are a handful of monks that are not happy with their weapon being hand-to-hand. There are a handful of rangers who are unhappy that their weapon isn't a bow. There are a handful of warriors who would rather have a 2hander. The same can be said for knights with 2handers and 1handers. Had the epic been a 1hander, we would have seen this same post, but by a different poster, stating that they would rather have the epic be a 2hander.

Traditionally knights, up until lately with new shield block AAs, have been driven towards using 2handers for a good majority of their time. As such, it was decided to make the epic a 2hander. Adding in a quest to make the 2hander a 1hander won't be equitable, as every other class will want the same option to swap their weapons. Moreover, the epic itself is built art-wise as a 2hander, and making it a 1hander would not scale correctly.

After this next live patch, all epics will be usable for inventory. So if you're more of the one-hander type knight, then you can still have some effectiveness out of your epic (by being able to click it from inventory) and still use a 1hander and shield.

Ya, might hafta do an item pat down for things (espeically epics) usable from inventory.

Don't have a druid or necro epic to test here.

I have personally confirmed cleric does work from inventory; monk and enchanter do not.

Asked a necro, shaman, and wizard; each responded in the negative.

Leaving druid and magician to confirm.
