focus effect item

[guineapig]

This was briefly mentioned in this thread
http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=1388&highlight=focus+effect
but I could not locate any threads specifically about this topic.

Were all the focus effects added to the old world item around the time of Luclin? Or were any of these effects added to items beforehand?

Since most of the items I looked up seem to have had the focus effects added in 2002, I'm guessing the same will go for all the rest but I just wanted to be sure and can't find the answer online. Closest I could find was that in June of 2002, focus item effects were fixed...

the temple of solusek ro mage pet focus items are pretty well known but there is also a necro pet focus item.

To clarify, I'm specifically referring to items such as:

Glowing Bone Collar
Batfang Headband
Wolf Fur Slippers
Bear-hide Boots

etc...

There's a whole slew of them that were upgraded but I just wasn't sure when.

im pretty sure there are several items that always had focus or focus like effects.. phinny staff style? aren't all haste items actually like this? i dunno if its the same mechanic or whatever..shrug

Pet focus were the only focus items prior to luclin.

Right, I figured those must be classic. Thanks.

Pet focus were the only focus items prior to luclin.

Thanks for the confirmation, I just wanted to be sure. Otherwise I would start hoarding some of these items for future use. :D

I thought SolRo introduced focus effects, seeing as how alotta old school item snaps have effects in the snaps as well.

I'm not aware of anything besides pet foci and flowing thought items, prior to Luclin.

I had lists of focus items when I was making the loot classic again. TONS of things from classic and kunark had superfluous effects added to them later. Here is a sample list http://everquest.allakhazam.com/story.html?story=951

That's exactly what I was looking for but couldn't seem to find it.

So June '02 was the date all the items were upgraded as I suspected.

Thanks Nilbog! (and everyone else)

I don't recall any item having flowing thought before luclin. Which are you talking about?

fear revamp came with kunark i think? and cazic drops 2 FT1 items then, crimson robe of adeline and brain of cazic thule ..

Eye of Innoruuk also has ft1, iirc. And shawl 7 definately has ft1, Velious quest. Crown of Narandi (sp?) from the 10th ring war has FT2, White Dragonscale Boots have FT2. Probably several other Velious era items.
