Miscellaneous: Zone-specific foraging items not available until September 1999

[Passenger]

Misty Acorns and Yew Leaves weren't on the forage table until Nov2001. Prior to this, they were ground-spawn only.

Misty acorns

Posted @ Sun, Dec 17th 7:54 AM 2000

one thing you might want to remember is that misty acorns are NOT foraged, I have completed the quest and you can find misty acorns on the ground in misty thicket, they look like coins on the ground or something. I found my acorn on the upper level mob side of the wall near the orc camps kinda. All and all this quest took me about 7 hours to complete, but thats just because 2 of the forages were especially hard, those being the fireflare seeds in the FoB and the emerald orange from the EJ or TT, I think it is because there are several "rare" forages from these zones, and my luck just wasnt with me those days [You must be logged in to view images.

Re: Fan Faire Brief Note

I was there for about an hour, Daniel Enright was the sole person in the hot seat in the front of the room.

Things he said he would look into:
Drop rate of Swirling mists.
drop rate of HQ pieces of ore.
Making cultural pelts stack.
Adding yew leaves to the foraging table (even he admits that they sometimes spawn at the tops of trees, and was disappointed in the graphic chosen, but that any new picture would have to wait till after the release of SoL).
Some idols are not equipable by the listed races and classes even when worshiping the correct deity: Rallos zek and shadow knights was the example someone gave to him.

Yesterday's patch changed fishing and foraging a tad, and as word comes in, the site will be updated with more information. So far, we've got verification that yew leaves and misty acorns can now be foraged, if rarely. Cinnamon sticks are also now live, and folks will be trying to pin down the trivial for Pixie Powdered Cinnesticks (it trivials somewhere above 174!). Still no word on a verified recipe for the brellium chain, though there's even a few gnomes who've decided to try and see if they can figure out a working recipe.

Per this comment, the Misty Acorn ground spawns are flagged for Velious. This flag could be moved to Nov2000.

Two separate entries added to Everlore, one day apart:

Misty Acorns
Zalamieer | 11/20/2000 7:00:22 PM

I've been finding 'misty acorns' on the ground all over Misty Thicket. It is a stackable item.

Does anyone know what they are for? Someone mentioned in passing that they are for a new armor quest.

Any help would be appreciated.

This lines up with the release of the Halfling Cultural armor and the pieces of HQ ore discussed here.
