ok, correction, it was a "blood flecked obsidain shard", but still not sure what its for...

Mob was listed as an Elemental Warrior. Definitely shows this existed in era at the very least.

Item details + Additional (albeit slightly out of era) mention:

My group was going into the pool area and I was Mling. I got on of these off the hall way mobs.

Not sure what its used for yet=)

Note that the subject line of that post indicates that it dropped off an Elemental Crusader.

Additional confirmation from mcoy's logs:

This is a bit further out of era, but still shows that the item did indeed drop (an elemental capturer in this case). The Hole was not revamped until 8/26/03. I should mention the only update before that was some minor Luclin content quest drops and on 5/8/2002 it was changed to use Kunark Mez/Charm/Taunt rules.

Seeing as how these 3 mentions are off 3 different elementals, I think it is reasonable to assume it dropped off any elemental.

Essentially, these are just vendor trash (pricing data listed on ZAM). No in era quests for them.

Let me know if you'd like any more information. There was already a wiki page for this item but flagged as out of era, should you implement this I'll modify the page / drop tables on the wiki.

Thank you for your consideration!
