The quest Wolf Meat for Wista (https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=2315) appears to be OOE. FWIW, it wasn't implemented on P99 initially, as these (https://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=56182) threads (https://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=56931) indicate.

It looks like Wista began offering the quest when the trolls moved to Neriak a couple weeks before the release of the Legacy of Ykesha (http://www.tski.co.jp/baldio/patch/20030224.html) expansion on Feb 24, 2003.

A comment notes player characters being moved as well as NPCs.

Not just the trolls. I had a Vah Shir bard logged in innothule when the
change happened and woke up at the 'safe spot' in Nektulos.

I didn't find mention of the quest in the classic era after checking prominent quest resources:

- Jan 2000 (https://web.archive.org/web/20000119080826/http://www.eq-online.com:80/quests/grobb_quests.htm) EQ-Online capture (latest available)

- Aug 2001 (https://web.archive.org/web/20010822013237/http://gameznet.com:80/eq/quest/grobb.html) Gameznet/EQlizer capture

- Dec 2001 ZAM questlist (https://web.archive.org/web/20011223091844/http://everquest.allakhazam.com/qgen/Grobb.html) or quest database (https://web.archive.org/web/20011216200934/http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/qsearch.html?zone=8)

- Late Dec 2001 (https://web.archive.org/web/20011224233610/http://www.everlore.com:80/quests/default.asp?land=1112) Everlore capture

However, after the Feb 2003 move, the quest shows up in Neriak Foreign Quarter
- Feb 12 2003 (https://web.archive.org/web/20030402045641/http://everquest.allakhazam.com/archives/Update_0203.html) ZAM news post mentioning the new quest:

February 12, 2003

Since it seems the frogs are in Grobb to stay, I've renamed the zone Gukta, added in a number of new froggie quests and moved or deleted the troll quests, adding in the additional ones I know of in Neriak. They also announced the new zones. Check out Kenti's post on them here.

...

New Quests: Upgraded Pelts ; Treskar No. 1 ; Treskar No. 2 ; Wolf Meat for Wista ; Treskar No. 3 ; Rusty Weapons ; Troll Brew ; The Lost Snake ; Fungus Armor ; Shipment from Freeport ; Treskar No. 4 ; Froglok Skin Mask ; Ranjor's Weapon ; Halfling Bread ;

...


- May 2003 (https://web.archive.org/web/20030505223837/http://everlore.com:80/quests/default.asp?land=2458) Everlore capture (first available post-patch)

Interestingly, it seems the quest was removed/broken when the Trolls returned to Grobb in 2005 (http://www.tski.co.jp/baldio/patch/20050811.html).

tho warmly to me- she would not accept wolf meat, nor engage in any dialog. i say this quest no longer works.

Just tried it on progression server and, as a Troll Shaman, she would neither accept the meat nor engage in any dialogue.

The quest is definitely broken.

Did Wista have any dialogue other than being a vendor? It's easy enough to remove the quest, but she will do nothing but sell, if that's the case.

I have not found anything to suggest she was anything but an ordinary vendor prior to the move.

Pending update, Wista no longer provides this quest.
