Ok. Update. I looked up "www.everlore.com" on the internet archive. I used to go there.
Here's a snapshot for May 12 2001. However, the comments below are from 1999:

The question is are these looted and sold to merchants, or part of the merchant's default item table?
I've now seen multiple references to a merchant behind/near hte bank in S qeynos selling them. I've also seen multiple references to them being sold in Erudin. Now, if these only drop in Befallen and are only sold in W Karana and Thurgadin, it makes me wonder how they get to Qeynos or Erudin merchants? Why would a player sell a rod to a merchant unless it was either out of charges or it was loot? If it's loot, it makes me think the person who wrote--in the above link--they dropped on a Necro bat/pet in Erud's Crossing could be a possible explanation due to proximity.
