Almost feels redundant for me to post this here and in the main bugs forums but.. just in case it helps :)
The 6th Necromancer skullcap went through some changes. Originally the quest did not have us chasing Revenants for both candlestick parts, this change was not made until after 2002 as noted in this (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=727&page=1&howmany=50#msg101396122516208) comment with further info from 2001 here (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=727&page=1&howmany=50#msg99008559150684). The Revenant was to drop the stem only and a note telling about a robed Iksar who made off with the base. The change for both coming from Revs was circa 2004 as seen here (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=727&page=1&howmany=50#msg109523014136851).
The Revenants in P99 currently do drop the stem and the note, as they should according to the timeline. However Grype (http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=4736) responds to no hails, tells nothing about the base and seems to do nothing but 'glug, glug, glug'. He is clearly involved in the quest as seen here (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=727&page=1&howmany=50#msg101515627438040) and the proper dialogue appears for it here (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=727&page=1&howmany=50#msg99791199458632) but Grype doesn't seem to be taking part or responding despite my repeated attempts.
Just to give it a shot I hung around FV for a couple days waiting on the Halfling Swashbuckler (http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=6400) (and further posts pointing to him being required and having loot even as late as mid-2004 here (http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=6400&page=1&howmany=50#msg109414890769274). Even if Grype wasn't functioning right, the Halfling should have been given the proper loot table, but he dropped nothing at all. Not only did he not have the stein for the quest, but he didn't even have the useless no-drop rogue stuff he was supposed to have. He appeared armed with a rapier (iirc) but didn't even have that. He was killed 2x by two different members of the guild.
Bugged I assume?
Thanks for your time! :)
