Miscellaneous: Missing Item: Stonemelder's Band (from The Hole)

[Rygar]

I have located an item that should drop in the Hole but is currently not dropping. It is the following:

Stonemelder’s Band
MAGIC ITEM LORE ITEM
Slot: EAR
AC: 18
DEX: -35 AGI: -35
WT: 0.1 Size: TINY
Class: ALL
Race: ALL
Slot 1, Type 7 (General: Group)

Stackable: No
Merchant Value: 78pp 9gp 5sp 5cp
Drops: This is found on creatures (this was all the specifics listed… I take this to mean a random drop off any creature)
Found in: Ruins of Old Paineel (The Hole)

Here is the link to Allakhazam’s: http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=5506

There is also a mention of it in this old user guide: http://warwindsofquellious19370.yuku...e#.V9xFxfkrJpi

A monkly-business entry mentions this item on May 25, 2001 as well (post by Zinj @ 2:22pm): http://www.monkly-business.net/forum...hp/t-8768.html

The allakhazam’s post go back as early as May 02, 2001 which is in our timeline, and was pre-revamp of the Hole. There is even an entry in the pricing data as early as April 4th, 2001.

The Hole was introduced on live on June 22, 2000, so unsure if this item was added in later without patch notes or just wasn’t discovered or entered into the database until later (in case you want to set a date for future Green Server).

I think this would be a fun item to add in as it sparks a lot of debate about AC vs AGI and end game tanking or even using on non-melee characters to mitigate damage. Please make it so!

Let me know if you need any further research to make this happen.

Interesting.

I need to know any and all drop information. I searched for a few but didn't come up with anything more substantial than what you linked.

Cool item!

[Rygar]

I found another source mentioning this item and lists it as dropping off 'multiple creatures'. Most of the other items that are listed are correct (read: not all items), but us at least backing up the allakhazam claim of dropping off random creatures. I will continue the search.

Here is that link:

Fixed, pending update

Very rare drop in the Hole. If further information is found, I will edit it appropriately.

Thank you! I will still continue to look for more information on this item, but appreciate the addition to the loot table!
