Plate Armor Molds - I see comments made on the spreadsheet these are for Fine Plate Armor. When was it added?

Tons of posts about banded in this news group from 1999. No mention of fine plate until:

This person conflates cultural armor with fine plate armor (they say cultural but they want black fine plate) . This is the oldest reference i could find to fine plate armor. the rest of that discussion is about fine plate.

Completely different thread about fine plate. OPs words suggest FP was new at this time.
Probably too strong of a conincidence that the first 2 things I could fine both happened within a week of the September 2000 Epic Weapons patch that overhauled tradeskills. I believe cultural smithing and fine plate were added at the same time.
Things that should be tagged this patch:
Ikthars Fine Steel Skin (vendors... how to book)
[Small/Large/""(Medium)] Plate __ Mold (vendors)
Leather Padding (recipe. Only used for Fine plate / cultural)
And it seems like dyes were the same patch, but based on the vendor i visited, it seems like these may already all be flagged correctly for green (not sure about all the ground spawns like Evergreen Leaf, Permafrost Crystals, Jack-O-Lantern Fungus, Sarcoscypha Fungus)
