What about the monk shackle of steel, shackle of tynnonium quests? They are supposed to be available at this point in the timeline.

It should be, but I haven't run out to Tim Deep to check...

JANUARY 9, 2001: Fixed the Iksar 'Shackle of Steel' quest.

I've yet to find any. The earliest mention of the charged version is 6 months.

The first definitive evidence of the charged ornate velium pendant I could find is on 4/19/01 exactly 4 months + 2 weeks into Velious.

It is extremely strange that there is no mention of the item ever before that date, in fact there is no mention of the pre-nerf version either. The allakhazam page for the charged version was not even created until April 20th, 2001. The unlimited charge version didn't show up on zam until 2004 and there is very little info on it at all. I don't see how it is possible for an item to drop for 4.5 months and not be documented. People were in icewell hunting for armor drops often enough in early velious weren't they?

Is it possible that the original unlimited charge pendant was removed from EQ on day 3 of Velious with this patch note

December 7, 2000
Corrected loot drops in Thurgadin

and then re-introduced as a charged version in the large patch on April 17 2001 patch but it went undocumented?

One thing is for sure, the amount of unlimited charge ornate velium pendants currently on p1999 is not classic.

Scratch that, just checked and Master Rinmark is still not replying to "Where is your student?". Was hoping that was in as of the patch, but no luck yet.

I saw the patch and almost pooped my pants when I saw the discord server on the right side of the front page. Didn't happen because I saw that it was still down.

Exciting times for P99.

Well if that was the patch note, it would be incorrect as they drop in Icewell and not Thurgadin. Not completely unprecedented to have a typo/wrong zone reference...

I would assume the reason there is little information on them is the Coldain tended to be everyone's first faction they were friendly with. Mostly because it became a trading hub and every race/class combination by default started non-KoS there and the most dungeon-like zones (Kael/Skyshrine) were far better grouping options than Thurg/Icewell are.

Most posts on EQClerics regarding Icewell either are Dain raids or Basement farm groups for spells/gems (which don't seem to happen here). Few people mention killing Coldain there but not many.
