NPC Spawn Issue: Raster of Guk and Targin the Rock shouldn't spawn until RotLC quest is in

Following this thread:

I heard people have been killing Raster of Guk. Not sure about Targin, I'm not high enough for Sol B yet, but these two should be disabled if Qwinn is disabled I'd imagine.

[Dolalin]

Earliest newsgroup mention I see for Raster is March 2000:

I don't see any mention of Targin before 2001 (though he must have been in with Raster):

I've seen many people farming idols from raster before the quest even exists, shouldn't be possible yet.

[Kirdan]

Bump, assuming raster was removed, the idols that were already looted should also be deleted.

Can the quest even be Mq'd? if not, why would anyone "farm" them.

[Kirdan]

Yes, it can be MQ'd.

Here's a screenshot of Targin the Rock from December 17th, 1999.

Happened to come across this looking for other old EQ screenshots. The NPC existed, probably didn't drop the quest piece yet.

I meant to return to this actually.

I found this post in the newsgroups referencing RotLC quest from early December 1999 so it must have been in by then.

I will try to nail down when it was added.

This post from October 1999 references Qwinn and Zephyl and says they were new additions:

10/18/99

Hmm, must be. I've seen 3 new ( at least to me ) mobs:

1) Brother Qwinn, a monk in South Karana. He was walking at normal speed.
2) Some weak, and smallish named Aviak in South Karana, also walking at
normal speed.
3) Brother Zephyl, a monk in Rathe Mtns., this guy was on crack....his
animation was showing that he was walking, but damn, he was moving faster
than someone with SOW.

Seems like RotLC quest was added with Sol Ro Temple patch?

Another:

10/20/99
Subject: new monk quest

Has anyone actually managed to complete this quest? I shelled out over 100
plat today to have 6 mid 20's rangers running around south karanas for over
6 hours today tracking the alleged brother qwinn, and not once did he show
up. I did something similiar the other day in rathe, not once did Zephyl
show up.

I'm all for a good tough quest, but this is f'ing ridiculous.

parts of epics were just quests in the game before the entire epic was released

Paladin's Fiery Avenger was an example of existing quests that got combined into the larger Epic quest. Not all epics were fully released when they released epics even...a few had to still be discovered/finished.
