Miscellaneous: Missing Item: Fist of the Rile

[Ennewi]

So far there are no quest/zone/npc details associated with the item, possibly making it a GM event reward. The "willsapper" icon was edited in (partial arrow visible) over the detail window and everlore was known for having members post fake items, however the linked angelfire site appears to have none of those listed. More information needed.

Interesting item, where did would it have dropped if not GM event. Although listed next to Crystal Claw implies it could of easily been an event item.

How about “Cursed Blade of Valshaer”; initial search found no data in that.

Makes me think of items such as this below. GM event, rathe mountain drop, rotted a lot during Halloween, don’t recall year. Was same time as they pixie rib ear.

I'm tempted to believe it's fake due to the photoshop, how little is out there on it, and in context "Fist of the Rile" doesn't really make sense. Rile was a person, not a people.

This was my thinking as well, initially. But then there were other GM event items, with more substantial information, that were displayed in a similar questionable way on the old sites.

True. Helm of Rile, Crown of Rile, Sword of Rile...even classic guilds seemed to know better.

But then there were, and still are, quite a few typos in Norrath that were never corrected.
