Game Mechanics: Blue diamond jewelry

[Nizzarr]

These things shouldnt be available until 1.5 month after velious released.

They were added on the 2001 January 17th patch.

I'm surprised this went on for so long here!

There's like ~5 blue diamond things on red, so thats not too much of an issue.

Bump. I see no evidence these existed in Kunark.

On ZAM, June 2001, BD Necklace and BD Tiara are listed as Velious items.

The Earring is not listed as Velious, but the first occurence on ZAM is 04/20/2001, a few months after Velious :

Obviously it wasn't. Kanras marked it as "fixed, pending update" on 01/13/2012. A few patchs occured since and Blue Diamonds are still dropping.

[cyryllis]

so velious releases dec 5, 2000


and the forum screenshot in this thread shows BD were dropping in august and sept. of 2000.


september comes before december....aka before velious

your logic fails

[Nizzarr]

Blue diamonds were trash drops until that patch in velious that made them useful.

I posted this a long time ago while you guys (u2 pal) were farming OOT dino with exploited mist walkers.
