Epics didn't exist when Kunark was released and barely anyone had epics before 2001.
Mosscovered Twig was the top DPS weapon in the game, along with Barbed Scale Whip, and both hilariously dropped from low level MOBs in Frontier Mountains. So of course they were changed.

I didn't say Epics were common back then. My point was simply that Twig doesn't always out DPS other 1h Kunark-Era weapons, so it wasn't over powered from a raw DPS perspective. Adamantite Club in main hand also out DPSes Twig in many scenarios. The scenario in which Twig can out DPS Epic Fist and Addy Club is against a high AC target. But Kunark raid mobs didn't really have the high AC that we see in Velious.
So a nerf would be due to something like technical limitations, pushing, or ease of acquiring the item. It certainly is easier to get than Epic or Adamantite Club.
