After looking at the posts for this on Alla because I too want a clicky root and remember having one on live, it seems people only began seeing quest items show up in early April 2001. I don't think the first one should really be in game now, honestly. It should be put in a while after root and snare start stacking, I believe.

Patch on March 14, 2001 mentions lots of new quests, nothing specific - might've been added in this particular batch. (pertinent info bolded)

***Patch Day***
Along with the big announcements above, today was a patch day as well:
- Fixed a bug that allowed exploitation of the period of time between
character control being established and loading of character faction
tables.
- Fixed the Dagger of Frost. Its special item flags were improperly
removed in the last patch.
- The spell, Mark of Karn, has been enhanced to heal more per hit.
- The effect on the Celestial Elixir Breastplates has been changed to
the enhanced Mark of Karn. The casting time on these items has also
been changed to 9 seconds.
- NPCs in Thurgadin will no longer stop traveling when you /hail them.
- Fixed a problem present in Nagafen's Lair and the Plane of Hate that
caused framerate to drop over time.
- Shift-clicking on a stack of items will cause you to pick up the
whole stack. This is in addition to CTRL-clicking on a stack, which
will cause you to pick up one. These both also work for coins now as
well as items.
- In addition to the above, holding down the shift key while clicking
the "Sell" button in the vendor screen will cause you to sell the
entire stack of items if a stack is selected. For example, you can sell
20 peridots by selecting the stack, and shift-clicking "Sell". I'd
recommend though that you give them to your neighborhood cleric first
though [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] The ability to buy stacks is on the list for implementation
in the near future.
- There are a ton of new recipies for trade skill users out there.
Check your books.
- There are a bunch of new quests as well.
- It appears that we fixed a bug with the Mend skill that caused it to
be unavailable for a few seconds after it was supposed to be ready for
use. Let us know if there are any further problems.
- Foraging items will now yield a message giving you some idea of what you've foraged.

New quests were also added March 27th but nothing else until after April. It's likely March 27th when these particular quests were added, I seem to remember reading the line about talking to the folks of Norrath for new stuff...
