You could say 2 weeks before velious they got changed or that they got changed x number of weeks after kunark was released. Looking at it that way they are fine since velious is late.

bump, depends on how you want to count time.

Could be implemented on red though

EDIT:

Zam 2H Blunt page capture from Nov. 10, 2000 - listing Gnarled Staff as 2H Blunt between the time epics came out and the above patch.

Further identification that at one time Blue Crystal Staff was 2H blunt, even though the page when it was created would have been out of date according to the Graffe's posts above.
