All of the wood elf "warrior" guards in lesser faydark should drop 2 steel weapons every time they die. A Long Sword and an Axe. See link:

I could not find links for the other guards but they all dropped the exact same gear as this was a favorite farming spot for me and several friends on live.
On P99 this was never fixed and when I had asked Aeolwind had claimed that he wasn't going to add in easily farmed cash drops that were removed on live for balancing issues. Though I had asked several months after p99 had been live so perhaps he didn't feel it was worth the time.
I think it should be in for r99 though if you are adding in other "unbalancing" aspects of classic everquest.
