Did the Short Sword of Ykesha have a different graphic at some point?

I think these things are better posted in the green bugs forum. I personally don't recall seeing a different graphical display for Yaks, but I never saw one in beta and there might have been a short window of time during live where it was different looking.

Not 100% sure, as I'm going off memories from 20 years ago, but I believe both the icon & actual held sword graphic, was same as Bloodfire. At some point, the Ykesha got changed to the boomerang graphics currently in use.

I suppose that could make sense, as at the time, one was dropped from a god, while the other from a dungeon. Maybe the designers changed their minds & wanted that Bloodfire graphic to hold more prestige.
