So Rile’s Shattered Blade was in game on Oct 30, 2001. Confirmed by a post here:

Other posts seem to indicate that the Oct 23rd patch added the Greenmist in. This is the same patch that added the Librarian and hammer of 1406, both of which are in game. So the shattered blade’s absence seems to be a bug.
Unless it has some crazy long repop time (I and several others have checked for it though). But even then, someone must’ve picked it up, yet no one has the Greenmist yet as far as I know.
