Staff of Elemental Mastery: Fire
 

Staff of Elemental Mastery Fire is dropping off male a forsaken revenants.

This item should only drop after the PoH revamp when they also drop the Staff of Elemental Mastery: Earth.

See:

https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=6274 (first comment entry is 2001 -- comments on the item page also state it drops after poh revamp)

http://eqmagicians.com/pet/petfocus/...earthfirewater (listed as revamp mob items)

Forsaken Revenant page on Alla, with comments from as early as March 2000; no mention of the staff.

It looks they were introduced in order of water > earth > air > fire.


January 2000 only discussed Water/Earth:

That is correct. Kedge was itemized, then PoH released, then PoSky, then the revamp.

So it turns out it was the other way around :) Good find.

always wondered why it wasnt in the mage epic and apparently it was bc the quest came first

I searched for evidence as well and only found mentions of fire staff w the Mistress of Scorn...I dont even think the male revs on Blue should drop it post revamp (they currently do as well).

EQlizers beastiary listing for it Male Rev from Dec 2000 which is welllll into Kunark but before Mistress of Scorn exists

and heres Eqlizers male rev listing in Dec 2001 well after Hate is revamped

They added Magi Ptsa s earth staff to normal male revs eventually bc of how hard it still was for mages to get that kill and if they added that its likely fire was tossed on there too so it was spicy which one a male rev was holding when you found it...so its likely P99 devs quickly noticed Earth staff shouldnt be on a male rev but were unsure ab fire so just left it
