I downloaded all of eq.stratics.com and grepped it, found this bit, from which we can deduce that the vampire fangs quest for the Wakizashi was active at least as of July 1999.

There was a rumor floating around that it's part of a quest that Lord Grimlot initiates (In the S Kar Skeleton/Putrid camp) but I think this turned out to be fake. I stress though - I am NOT positive about this rumor being false.
An alternate source - and I believe this is correct - is that guy in the Mistmoore graveyard who isn't aggro and who tells of his parents being taken in as slaves by Lord Mistmoore. I think he carries this sword.
S'right,

Thanks for chiming in by the way Erati, it's indeed possible the quest was only in Beta and revamped out before launch as you say. I'll keep going but if I hit a dead end that's what I'll assume.
