You think perhaps they added the blued two handed warhammer to make the slime staff worth the while for actually camping?

Meh, maybe but they could just have upped the spawn rate on xorbb or buff the sap sheen staff, would have been far simpler than making a whole new questline.

Pottery is useful for the Thurgadin Gate potion, and I think far more people use it than any of the Garzicor items.

But, your general thesis is correct: tradeskills were largely an afterthought until Luclin (and that was really just the start of them being useful, with that super popular Protection of the Cabbage quest item).

Agree. Getting pottery to the level where you can make Thurg gate potions is useful. Especially since you can farm the ingredients for them pretty easily and have a bunch ready to make a new potion in the bank when you gate to Thurg.

Although I can see an argument of outside of things like Dain spawns it's not THAT necessary to have since with an OT hammer you can go to HH and bank through the wall in OT...unless you need to vendor and can't at the outpost.

Phiny's backbone (same as bard epic) for a 5ac 3int -10agi +15hp healer/caster leggings.

yeah that's a unfinished/cut questline if ive ever seen one the writing quality shift from

You say, 'who is clrakk?'

Bjoskhua Blackfist says 'Clrakk is my youngest brother. He walks a path of shadows and deceit. If he were to battle, it would not be one without weapons or armor. I may use these as a bargaining chip some day. I do not think my family has any more need of these old chest straps.
You say, 'what chest straps?'

Bjoskhua Blackfist says 'The chest straps are simply a status symbol to some gladiators and warriors. They are passed down from generation to generation. When a warrior enters one of these contests of the fist, they wear the chest straps of their family. My family was awarded a set of the enchanted chest straps ages ago. None of my brothers save Clrakk would even consider entering the contest.
You say, 'what contests of the fist?'

Bjoskhua Blackfist says 'Ages ago there was a race of fish men named the Kedge. Prexus spread them throughout the waters of the world and they were prosperous. Rumors abound that even near the waters of velious they had great cities. All at once they seemed to be wiped from the face of Norrath. One of the travelers I recently spoke to informed me that a single Kedge may still live in the lands of Faydwer. As grotesque as it sounds, the backbone of a Kedge may be used to create indestructible scroll cases. Bring me the backbone of this fishman, if he exists, and you will find yourself a richer person.'

Bjoskhua Blackfist says 'Excellent, I guess his entire race is now wiped from Norrath. This will indeed make a wonderful scroll case. I am a giant of my word. Take your prized item and be gone, you greedy little beast!'

is hilarious.

The vehement sword is one of the best weapons a solo/self found tank class can attain. It's completely useable
