Kunark spells should not be dropping in Velious
I recall it being a real pain to get spells like Torpor, Pox of Bertoxx as a shaman because these spells only dropped in the era appropriate content.
Then there's this I found on Allakhazam which reinforced my opinion. Sontalak discussion. http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/npc.html?id=6466 Quote:

There are a few dragons of westwastes currently set to drop Kunark spells.
If they should be removed, more input would be nice. Anyone else? | ||

This was brought up many months ago, a select few npcs in WW should drop kunark spells. Here is a post from awhile back about esorpa dropping kunark spells.

Patch notes saying they increased the drop rate on kunark spells because the chance to get them is slimmer with new content. http://www.waringmcmarrin.com/?page_id=54 Quote:

More input desired. I don't want Kunark spells dropping if they shouldn't. | ||||

PS - Those cleric boards enrage me when I read OVER and OVER how OP Druids are and how badly Clerics have it in Velious...

Some snipits from those forums below: "I'm taking the liberty to X-post this on eqnecro, graffe.com and eqcleric, since it concerns us all. When Kunark was released, it was expected that we'd stay there and level from 50-60, and most did this even though there are some spots in the old world that supports 50+ xp. Spell drops were balanced accordingly. When Velious was release, casting classes got new spells, but most were not that cool. Now we suddenly had two continents for 50+ xp. And melee loot, as usual, got a huge boost in power in Velious, while casters still have to go to Kunark for spells. Luclin introduces the same situation a third time. Now we get a 3rd expansion with even cooler loot, some new spells (most rather silly in my opinion but I'm sure some are quite nice). But we STILL need to go to Kunark for Kunark spells, and Velious for Velious spells, while the melees can happily get all the nifty stuff from Luclin, since they automagically get discs when they level. The effect: its getting increasinly harder to obtain the Kunark dropped spells. There are many solutions to this problem: - Verant could simply label Kunark a legacy area and throw us a bone by putting all Kunark spells on merchants. - Simply increase Kunark spell drops. Velious spells are, I might add, less of a problem since they generally drop more. - Verant could put Kunark spells on merchants to make it a bit easier for us, and instead pull slightly improved Kunark spells on the Kunark dragons / bosses. I like this idea myself. - Verant could random spells across several continents, so that we can get Velious spells in Kunark, Kunark spells on Luclin, etc." "Well, they sorta thought of this already... Kunark spells (at least 58+) drop off SoV dragons. Not sure if the 55-57 spells drop off them but I do know the 58+ do. I got Banishment of Shadows from Sontalak. I've seen this on several occasions so it wasn't a fluke. Perhaps some of the ubermobs in SoL will drop Kunark spells as well. As to why SoV spells are more common... they aren't. Look at the general drop rate. Maybe one spell in 10 or so kills. Same in Kunark and Luclin. The difference is Kunark introduced 19 NPC dropped spells. SoV introduced 4 and SoL inroduced 5. Also consider that there are more areas to get 55+ spells in SoV and SoL. Kunark only offered the Juggs/reets area and Skyfire." You can read more of the discussion there but it does look like spells dropped via continent they are from, with some possibly dropping off velious dragons.

That's from late 2001 just after/around Luclin launch. I think it's safe to say the WW Dragons who currently drop Kunark spells should do so in era, it's just a matter of when that switch got flipped.
If I were a betting man I would say March to coincide with the increased drop rate patch (3 months).
