I've searched Scorpiki pit in Overthere for hours, as well as killed dozens of scorpions of all types in Field of Bone, and I've never seen it drop once. Wiki says it should drop from heartstings in Field of Bone (http://wiki.project1999.com/Scorpion_Meat). I feel like it USED to drop a while ago on this server, but I can't be certain.

I have also asked a very nicely populated Field of Bone (~35) repeatedly in OOC if anyone had ever seen it. Even offered 200pp EACH for it and nobody was able to find any. Had a bunch of groups in the pit killing a lot of scorpions, too!

I realize this is a very low priority but thanks in advance if anyone is able to look into it!

The people demand scorpion sandwiches!!

By the way, scouring the internet (to the best of my abilities), the most recent mention of "scorpion meat" along with the word "everquest" seems to be from ~2001 so perhaps it is just not supposed to be in the game yet?

I think 2001 is accurate for this.

It sounds like it was being tested in April 2001

3) Actually, the only food item that I've heard about so far specifically is the Scorpion Sandwich that was the first one created to test with. It gave (and might still give) a +1 to poison saves.
