Ok, maybe it's not straying too much to add this here then, because what I was going to report is directly from that June 5th, 2002 patch.
Currently there are electrum ornate, gold ornate, and platinum ornate combines working in game. I don't believe they should be in until the patch that Vandy is mentioning. If you look at the snapshot of EQTraders from June 2nd, 2002, you'll see none of them are there:

Not super conclusive, but does coincide with when this stuff started getting comments on Alla:

Perhaps there are alot of tradeskill related things on p99 that are in from this patch which shouldn't be?
