So, back to where we were before...
What we know:
- Ring was not No Drop while it was offered as a quest reward
- It was removed sometime around September, 1999.
- It was made no drop sometime between September 1999 and December 1999.
The only remaining question about the item itself is whether it was originally usable by anyone. Obviously we can find posts that claim both, although I would lend more credence to ElanoraBryght's links because they are closer to the correct time frame, and that level 22 SK displayed a good knowledge of the quest itself and the reward when a lot of other people seemed to be fielding guesses. Of course he could just be confidently repeating misinformation.
So - does anyone have any actual links that can prove one way or another if this item was usable by anyone? Please don't bother with sketchy posts from 2004 or memories of what you did on live.
One other question for the devs....seeing as the ring being introduced this late in the Vanilla era doesn't jive at all with the timeline, would you entertain leaving it in the game in its pre-nerf form for awhile? If you're just going to remove it or never return it to its pre-nerf state to keep up with the timeline then all this research is moot.
Edit: Zeelot I see you claimed to have done this quest for the ring in early 2000. Are you sure it wasn't late 1999 as the other posts would suggest?
