Miscellaneous: Item: Large Bronze Girdle Should be misnamed.

[Jimjam]

There is an item in p1999 called 'Large Bronze Girdle'.

It appears the individual responsible in classic for naming items made a whoopsie and gave the Large Bronze Gridle the 'wrong' name, a mistake which should be replicated in p1999.

This should exist under a different name, 'Large Plate Girdle'. This name is shared with the Vendor bought item, though the two items have separate entries.

There is some disagreement between Lucy/Allakhazam and Magelo as to which is the version sold by Vendors.

According to Magelo, which uses captures data from live (so I would suggest is more reliable for this issue) the item with the higher merchant value (in line with the rest of the Large Plate items) is the one sold by vendors, the other (with a value in line with Large Bronze items) is dropped by the usual Large Bronze suspects (i.e. the guard captain in Najena).

Currently the Bronze version is sold in Grobb, which may be a mistake. Further research required here, as I now the current iteration of Grobb on live is not classic, and the bronze version (though under the plate name) may have indeed been erroneously sold in era).

The Lore description (from identify) should remain 'Large Bronze Girdle'.

I'll search this tomorrow and report what I find.

I looted mine off of the Ogre captain in Najena. had been rapidly filling up my Large Bronze needs, when all of a sudden he dropped a Large Plate Girdle instead....Only ever seen it happen once, so it must be a pretty damn rare drop.
