That's right, walk up to a merchant and buy a manastone or a CoS.
I understand that you can also win them in the casino plat sink.

Either way, legacy items are a big part of what made EQ good, and P99 Green is there to remind us of that every day. If not for the legacy items, I'm not even sure Green would have triple-digit pop.
They also just plain aren't special anymore on live. Darkelf mask? There are plenty of in-game illusions you can get for free or by playing the in-game card game. Fungi Stick? Your worn regen not only will beat it, but you'll get clickies that out-regen it, and with OOC regen who cares anyways. Manastone is SUPREMELY less useful with OOC regen and classic content being trivial anyways. CoS instant-click invis literally became an AA ability. And obviously the nerfed weapons are no longer unique.
