K none of that is evidence. I'll break it down.
1st post - April 2001. Read my Original Post. That is AFTER the epic change. Therefore irrelevant.
2nd post (from EQCleric) - Oct 2000. A month after Epics implemented. Also a month before Druid epic solved. No one knew what stones were even for at this point in time. Also he is talking as though the "norm" loot. Which probably extends before the epic patch.
3rd post (from EQCleric) - April 2001. Again irrelevant.
4th post (from allakhazam) - Mar 2001 reply, original question which adds nothing of importance to this discussion was indeed in the Nov 2000 - Mar 2001 window of relevance.
5th post (from allakhazam) - this is the only quote of relevance. But all of my evidence points to the contrary. It clearly isn't that rare if EVERY raid log from several different guilds sites regarding VS in that Nov 2000 - Mar 2001 time frame lists 2 Stones dropped. That isn't luck. Those people who got 3 VS and 6 Stones in a reset are proof it was a guaranteed 100% x 2.
