Bipdo Hargin spawning OOE
Bipdo Hargin is spawning out of era in Rivervale. He is a tradeskill vendor selling weapon molds that was added in April 2002.
Before the update: Feb 2002 EQTraders snapshot with no reference to Bipdo. After the update: Jun 2002 EQTraders snapshot (the next available) with a number of vendors added, including Bipdo. Note also the mention of the April 9 tradeskill upgrade at the top of the page. Here's a link to the patch. Quote:

Following up with the rest of the Rivervale vendor changes introduced with the April 2002 update:
From the comparison of the captures above, we see a number of additional NPCs added. OOE NPCs - Bartle Barnick (baking ingredient vendor) - Betty Brickbaker (file/container mold vendor) - Bodbin Gimple (clay/ore vendor) - Burtle Barrelbelly (brewing vendor) - Frankle Ironhair (smithing book vendor) - Gerb Jinklebelly (fletching vendor - bow supplies) - Joana Jinklebelly (fletching vendor - arrow supplies) - Marta Claytoe (pottery sketch vendor) - Uma Sweetcookie (recipe book vendor) - Yola Sweetcookie (baking mold vendor) Additional Evidence This comparison of EQAtlas (Dec 2001 and Aug 2002) notes a couple of the additions. - #13, an ore merchant (Bodbin Gimble) - #14, Fletching and Bowyery Equipment (Gerb and Joana Jinkleberry) This post mentions the new fletching merchants (Gerb and Joana Jinkleberry) in response to a question about Rivervale fletching supplies. - https://groups.google.com/g/alt.game...m/EWnhbQo0fWQJ Quote:
There don't appear to be any other trade vendors that share Frankle Ironhair's inventory in the Classic-Velious era. Quote:
----- Bartle Barnick and Uma Sweetcookie also have inventory configurations introduced with Luclin. In the Classic-Velious era there are two main baking vendor inventories, as indicated by this Oct 2001 EQTraders capture: Quote:
(There may be some discrepancy with muffins/bread due to the plague event). Worth noting too that Bim Buskin in Misty Thicket is present pre-Luclin and offers Inventory #1 already. Luclin brought a new configuration of baking inventories for some (but not all) new baking vendors, separating out the cookbooks from the seasonings/cookware. Shown here for Trade Historian Hajika in Shar Vahl and Milner McHazlo in Sanctus Seru: Quote:
----- This is a thread commenting on the usefulness of tradeskills and the increase in sketch prices that reduced the profitability of pottery. Prior to the nerf: - https://groups.google.com/g/alt.game...m/N9HEl-puwB0J Quote:
----- The Feb 2002 EQTraders snapshot linked in the first post specifically mentions that only basic brewing is available prior to the revamp. Quote:

----- In some cases, a patch would give existing vendors new inventories. However, the above names are not present in the ShowEQ dumps archived by Dolalin suggesting they are in fact new vendors. A May 2000 EQMaps capture doesn't list any of them on its infosheet for Rivervale. This late Dec 2001 capture from Illia's Bestiary shows no sign of any of them either. These lists can certainly miss NPCs that were in-game, but the fact that this set of NPCs is uniformly absent from multiple resources is compelling evidence. | |||||||||

An earlier EQTraders capture (May 2000) notes the utter lack of smithing supplies in Rivervale (emphasis original):
