Looking for more info: Staff of the Gathering + Master Sword of the Gathering

[Rygar]

The subject items were GM awards. I've been trying to research them and make a bug post in hopes they can be handed out in future GM events (besides just rubicite and stuff like that).

Firstly, the staff is ridiculous fashionQuest, would be best in our era by far. Check out these picks:

I should mention that I think at least the first pic is legit due to the name, apparently there was some glitches for a while where regular torches showed as a Staff of the Gathering graphic.

Next, it seems like there originally is only a single item of these on each server from the Gathering event in Lesser Faydark (Fironia Vie thing, unicorn got corrupted by CT, etc). Those items had self-buff C2 for casters, and some kind of proc for melee (not sure if Call of the Predator was it, that may have been a later upgrade).

Developer comment on the self-buff Clarity 2 here:

There are perhaps three items in the game that have the ability to cast Clarity II on their wielder (and only on the wielder). When I say three, I mean three total, across all the servers. These are, in fact, artifacts given out at two of the gatherings.

However, future fan faire and GM events gave out these items but had the proc / buff portion removed.

All I've found are 2 items, but perhaps there were more:
Staff of the Gathering
Master Sword of the Gathering

The melee ratio is pretty nice on the Master Sword of the Gathering (14/22), it seems the stats were indeed 14/22 as confirmed in the comments on the staff page, but were maybe +7 str/sta instead of +14 str/sta.

I've hit a bit of a wall on finding more info. Any other researchers interested in helping out? Would love to see these as occassional rare items across Norrath!
