Missing Item: Crystal Claw of Veeshan (GM reward, 1 per server)
I understand GM event items do not always make it in to P99, however what is unique about this item is it apparently made it onto every single server (not a result of attending a Fan Faire event or some such thing).
I have come up a little sparse on the details of exactly when it went in and how it looked when wielded, etc. So perhaps may need some P99 custom flavor. The earliest mention I found of it was here: http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5787 10/05/2000 Quote:

http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/n...l?id=6463&p=28 Lots of craaaaaazy good Lore here for Kraddok, it certainly seems legit but can't tell if fan fiction? Seems to mention things like faction hits were taken and the like. It also seems to imply that the individual who receives the claw at the end is sacrificed (no EXP rez?) and also earns the title "The Scaled Claw". Corroborates the Mayong Mistmoore connection to the event from the other ZAM posts as well: Pretty cool! I'm a bit too tired to digest the details of this event, but certainly sounds interesting. In asking for the volunteer to step forward, seems like it could be a vote or maybe GM choice for people doing good role-playing for the event or whatever. Found some other odd mentions of this item and MM connection, as well as Vox: http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/npc.html?id=3534&p=5 Quote:

This item (and possibly the title "The Scaled Claw") existed on every single live server of EQ. I propose this be implemented on Blue / Red, and placed on Refresh server. Perhaps details of the quest / scripts could be re-written every 3 years for refresh or to start off first iteration to make it a truly 'unknown, no knowledge advantage' type of thing as it was on Live? Lot of work I know, but hey, I'm sure Kraddok can spin a tale or two with seeds of deep Lore that would impress everyone! Also, this item is not game breaking in any way. I imagine it is a great aggro weapon but there are much better. It is more a bragging rights type thing. It doesn't appear as if there is a caster / monk reward... perhaps you may want to make one of those types of items yourself for custom content (named the same, but with specs appropriate for the classes...) Maybe a unique look can be given to the graphic if you choose to implement. Thanks for considering it!

Can confirm the title came with the claw.
I have some screen shots from the event on live, but none of the end results. | ||

Wow, well I did a quick search on my personal archive that I've been building and was shocked to see I actually logged some screenshot and details for this event. Note that the event actually appears to have occurred on 04/02/2000:
https://web.archive.org/web/20020226...22000gm/gm.htm There is a specific screenshot of the warrior holding the blade here: https://web.archive.org/web/20010831...m/large/04.gif Hard to tell, but it appears to either be a regular old blade or katana, not a unique graphic. Also, you can see the title is indeed 100% confirmed as they have the title after they are sacrificed (another confirmation in a screenshot, with his corpse at his feet). Zavo`Zatanov says, 'In doing so the Veil which separates the Plane of Sky from the mortal realm shall be reborn here as a Champion of Scale' You can see he is now renamed Fenorn the Scaled Claw After the sacrifice and title the event ends with: 'I and my own thank you, Be well noble one and remember my words and the actions which have come this day' (spelling error corrected) Other working screenshots of the events are here: https://web.archive.org/web/20010830...m/large/01.gif https://web.archive.org/web/20010831...m/large/03.gif https://web.archive.org/web/20010831...m/large/05.gif https://web.archive.org/web/20180201...c/gmdrake2.jpg https://web.archive.org/web/20180201...c/gmdrake1.jpg Some other event details are in there such as NPC names and the like, can be cross referenced with the ZAM write-up. 04/02/2000 seems an odd date with Sky being introduced in January 2000, perhaps they were running behind? I think it would be cool to tie in with the opening of Sky.

Not sure if this will ever be a thing on Green Server, but happened upon some information today that lines up with the screenshots I found (date wise, fairly close).
Sounds like it was a bit of a prelude, maybe a multi-day event like a mini event similar to Bloody Kithicor or Karana Plague. https://web.archive.org/web/20010429...r/swordstrike/ Quote:
