Grobb baking merchant "Chopper Brenga"

[Woguj]

According to the map there's supposed to be a baking merchant in Grobb, outside the tavern, named "Brenga". eqtraders.com lists the NPC as "Chopper Brenga". The merchant is missing and there's no baking merchant at all in Grobb.

From what I was able to dig up, it looks like this NPC has had a questionable history.

It'll be easier to explain going in reverse order.

"Chopper Bregna" was removed late in the game. A shaman guildmaster named "Bregna" came into existence at the same time.

Is she no longer in the game? She doesn't show up on find.
Since people were using her to find the pool for the tashania coin quest...this is annoying. (http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=18757&page=1&howmany=50#msg127216449299544282)

Chopper Brenga has been removed from the game. (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=692&page=1&howmany=50#msg1272165695315789214)

Chopper Bregna *has* been removed from the game-kinda.
She's now Bregna - Shaman Guildmaster. (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=692&page=1&howmany=50#msg12721670473898232)

Prior to that, but after the trolls took Grobb back from the Frogloks, it looks like she was "Chopper Blerga" (There's never a Chopper Blerga and a Chopper Bregna on the Grobb tradeskill supplies list at the same time)

spices, garnish, jug of sauces, vinegar, frosting, cup of flour, milk, spit, mixing bowl, loaf of bread - Chopper Blerga (outside Gunthak's Bench) (http://web.archive.org/web/20021017165230/eqtraders.com/location/baking.htm)

But a complete list of tradeskill supplies in Grobb from EQTraders circa December 2000 shows that most tradeskill vendors - including Blerga/Brenga/Bregna - didn't exist prior to the Guktan invasion.

Ok, thanks. At least I'm forced to explore other cities now.
