Green Forglok Skin Isn't (Completely) Worthless
 
Caveat: this may be unclassic or already implemented.

I recently noticed that Green Froglok Skin was listed in the wiki as having no use, so out of curiousity I thought I'd see if that was accurate. Unfortunately I couldn't find an in-era source that confirms this, but the earliest EQ Traders cut I could find (October 2003: https://web.archive.org/web/20031118...r=010000000000) shows that it can be used to create Black Extract.

Our wiki lists a bunch of recipes for Black Extract, but none involving the skin: https://wiki.project1999.com/Black_Extract

Possibilities:
  • this recipe was added in Luclin or beyond (so we shouldn't have it ... but it seems sort of odd that they'd add a new dye recipe after they'd clearly given up on the whole dye system)
  • it was classic, and is already a part of P99 (our wiki just doesn't know)
  • P99 should have (yet another) Black Extract recipe, making the item not (entirely) useless

Here's something from 6 Aug 2001 saying it should work

It can be used to make Black Extract for dyeing Fine Plate armor. Yes, it's bizarre that a Green Goblin Skin can be used to make a black dye, but it's true. I don't know if it has any other uses.
and from EQTC first capture oct 24 2001, but looks to have been added to the page on or before 23 Sep 2001
