Is the Dragoon Dirk classic?

I can't speak for the other zones, but I probably spent several hundred hours camping the guards in Nektulos Forest as a kid because it was one of the only ways I knew how to make platinum as a Monk during classic. They were trivial to kill, and I could vendor their BRONZE swords in EC. I legitimately never saw a Dragoon Dirk drop, not even once. In fact I think it was well established at the time that there wasn't even a chance for these guards to drop them?

Also did Dragoon Dirks really be dropping off of Hill Giants? I feel like someone may have been trolling and gave a Hill Giant a Dragoon Dirk or something?

And yes I know farming Dark Elf guards for $ is dumb as hell, but I was a kid and thought it was neat that I could kill guards since I grew up idolizing high level players who would kill guards and let me loot them. I think I decided Runnyeye was actually better since I could use the banker there with /sneak.

Also I'm pretty sure that these guards were much lower level than 35.... that's also why I solo'd them so easily. The guards in Steamfont were actually level 35 and were in a way different league. For some reason I'm actually thinking the bridge guards in Nektulos Forest were level 20'ish?

wiki isn't always right, everything there is put there by players

good thread

Most likely replaced at Kunark launch or early Kunark. The ratio is too good for something that drop from a level 20 (SSoY is 8/24 and drops from a level 47, deep in dungeon), and classic weapons rarely had stats like 2dex 3svm

Can confirm it dropped of Ambassador DVinn back in classic live, cannot confirm or deny the others.

Man it was better when RecondoJoe wasn't posting his periodic drunk rambling posts. Also why does he always post everything in RnF even when it's not RNF-related? lol

I thought Dorn B'dyn also dropped a dirk.

Definitly camped it on my first character on live that was rolled on launch day in crushbone. But I was surprised to see it appeared in Nro and never killed a guard on live before.
