I honestly was not looking for this when I found it...
Wiki link for Shralok Pack: (note reference to a 2002-11-19 patch (luclin era))
This claims:
"
Though flagged as PENDING LORE, the Shralok Pack never became a LORE item. It is and always will be safe to carry multiple Shralok Packs on your character.
EQLive 2002/11/19 Patch Notes "Removed the "Pending Lore" tag from the Shralok Pack. There is no current plan to make this into a lore item." "
https://wiki.project1999.com/Shralok_Pack
Now refer to the Feb 21, 2001 patch (velious era) here:
This states:
The Shralok Pack is now LORE. It was set to pending-lore some time
ago.

Looking in the Allakhazam EQ patch history, there wasn't a patch on 2002-11-19. Attempting to give the benefit of the doubt, I also checked in late 2001 patches and there was none there for 11-19 either (nor anything referring to the removal of the pending-lore status of the pack).
