Reaper of the Dead - https://wiki.project1999.com/Reaper_of_the_Dead

Is currently clickable by any class on the Red server for a targetable instant-cast complete heal.

This change appears unintentional since Reaper of the Dead was deliberately restricted on Red by the October 8th, 2013 patch and no balance changes to Red were announced - https://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=124070

[PvP Only] The following items may only be clicked by the appropriate class
SoulFire may only be clicked by paladins.
Reaper of the Dead may only be clicked by shadow knights.

This was most likely caused unintentionally by the recharge nerf to the item for Blue server in the April 19th, 2020 patch - https://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=356056

Have you actually tested any of these other than golem wands? I can tell you the following all still have their intended cast times on Red -

Circle of Stones - 3 seconds
Leatherfoot Raider Skullcap - 3 seconds
Lizard Blood Potion - 3 seconds
Shiny Brass Idol - 1 second

This is definitely not working as intended. Everyone having instant complete heal is game breaking in PVE as well as PVP. This item is simply just too easy to get for how powerful it is when everyone can use it. Hopefully they fix it so everyone doesn't have to resort to trying to farm an item one person can block by killing a quest npc with an OOR.

Reapers suddenly now being usable by all classes with an instant cast, voids pvp entirely.

If it took a caster more than 50% of their mana to kill a player, but they use a Reaper for a complete heal, you might as well have not even tried. At instant speed it's busted for how easy it is to obtain.

Wort pots are time consuming, costly, and effect very little of the player base.

Maybe on blue this kind of thing doesn't matter, but I'd rather see this reverted for Red at least so I can get back to playing Everquest and not Reaperquest. It's kind of gotten out of control.

Soulfire was nerfed on red for a reason.

Reapers need to be SK only as well for consistency.

It may not be a bad thing to review wort pots for a cast time on red similar to the other cast times on items that imbalance PVP.

All trolling aside needs to be fixed

This is a minor problem u cant recharge it

Only has 1 charge

U can only carry 1

It's a lvl 10 quest any1 can do.

Let's fix some of the bigger problems first

Thats unfortunate but you may want to message someone on staff or post this in the main bug forum though because none of the current staff develops for red or even looks at the red server related forums.

Posting stuff here just lets other people on the server know to abuse it. The last PvP change was years ago when the terrible anti hack fix broke tracking forever and it has been like that ever since.

I don't live on the forums. Funny how you responded to a lame jab within 24 hours to spellcheck someone though.

Thank you for taking the time from your Google spreadsheets to address tune and his baseless accusations.

how do you think tune keeps track of 50+ accounts probably a spreadsheet - highlighting the banned ones in red

I'm pretty sure the spreadsheet is on a non internet enabled machine running unpatched windows XP.

That what I would do.

This is going to get fixed with the same patch that fixes bowquest. Long may they reign.

I have never seen anything so blasphemous in EQ as a fatty SK or War unwilling to get in spell range to spam click 1 button.

Put it down already.
