Quest Issue: Upgraded Sky items should not be in yet

[Fixes Please]

Prompted by the Wu's Fist thread, I looked for some info regarding when the other upgraded Sky items went live. It doesn't really look like any of them went in until around March/April of 2001. I'm not sure why things were patched in so early here. A March patch date makes a lot of sense since that's around the same time the other classic planes were patched to bring them more in line with the current rewards and difficulty of the raiding game.

I couldn't find any patch notes that talk about upgrading these items, but the fact that they all seem to have been discovered around the same time is pretty damn conclusive.

Couple examples:

Back Straps of Mastery: http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=339

10 agility, 10 dexterity, 12 AC is right there with the tattered mantle, and crafted pauldron. I like the item.

So, the old version was still in 2 months prior to Velious opening. First post about the upgraded item isn't until April 6th 2001, right in line with everything else I'm seeing.

Pauldrons of Piety http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=316

The upgraded Item "Pauldrons of Piety" are much better. Ac11 12wis 2 Cha 8sta 35 mana. I got these for completeing this quest 3/29

Note that people are still complaining about the crappiness of the previous version a few days prior to Velious launch on the same page.

Reward has been changed...
It's better than it was, but still not worth coming to the plane to get. Not bad for a ranger without their epic.

You can find similar posts for most of the other upgrades. All of this points to these items all going in at the same time, about 4 months after Velious launch.
