Early Kunark items that get removed

[randal.flagg]

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has a list of items that get nerfed/no longer drop etc.

I'm most particularly interested in the Rod of Annihilation.

Saw one of those get linked last night. It made my jealousy organ spasm. I don't have any useful info for ya though!

I do know the Mosscovered twig is going for 90k, which made me cry a little bit (a lot). Owning that thing was always one of my EQ dreams and thought this might be my chance, but I never realized it would be so inconceivably expensive.

However, I am not aware where it drops or what level said mob would be. So perhaps there is still hope...

This item was nerfed at some point, but I'm unable to find much information on when that occurred. Robe of the Living Fungus. Common drop off of the myconid spore king in Sebilis. No negative stats, only 0.2 weight, caster usable, currently has Fungal Regrowth (worn) effect. I know this item got nerfed on live, but when? And was the nerf retroactive?

Another item is the Fungus Covered Great Staff, it was nerfed by having the mob that dropped it, drop a different version called a Fungus Covered Staff (didn't have the Fungal Regrowth effect) instead. But the old, "pre-nerf" versions weren't retroactively nerfed. I believe the Fungus Regrowth effect on the pre-nerf version could be casted from inventory by any class, but not sure.

The pre-nerf staff is castable from inventory so any class can use it. The post-nerf has to be equipped and is thus only usable by DRU SHM and CLR (I believe those are the only 3 classes that can wield it).

The robe eventually has regrowth (worn) removed, and since it's not replaced with a different item I would guess that it's a retroactive nerf.

OP:
Runed Fighters Staff (or is it battle?) 19/20 Mnk only 2hb eventually gets removed and replaced with a 38/40 (same ratio, but a weaker staff DPS wise because the dmg bonus gets applied less often).

Druid, Shaman, Beastlord (Not applicable to P99) on the post-nerf fungi staff.

Thanks for the info. Do you, or anyone else, have any info on when the RotLF nerf occurred? Some person in-game said it wasn't until near Velious, while the comments on Allakazam say it was very shortly after Kunark launch.

this is what I was talking about.

http://www.tski.co.jp/baldio/patch/19992002.php

is a resource for old patch notes but using the search I can't find information on the robe or the staff as far as when it gets nerfed.
