A lot of the chardok loot listed is possibly from after the revamp. I have trouble finding any information at all on chardok before it was revamped. I did not get to go there before it was revamped either. I also think they have revamped it one time since. At least they added a Chardok B way after velious. I will look for the date that chardok was first revamped.
unsolved mysteries!
updated: All I could find was eqatlas from around june 2000. It does list some of the chardok loot just not much. This is before the revamp. Appears that the maker of eqatlas never ventured into chardok either until a much later date.

This is all I can find in the patch history for when chardok was changed. Oct 8th 2001. "this is when they added bankers , merchants , and some high level spells to the zone is all i know about the revamp"
"Adventurers, glory seekers, and plunder-hungry knaves,
A few new tavern tales have been circulating from across the Deep. It appears that strife and civil unrest have once again plagued the lands of Kunark. Stories of treachery and terror within the ranks of the Sarnak have spilled forth from the mountain fortress of Chardok.
Only a few of the most cunning spies have made their way into the Sarnak hive during this brief time of turmoil, and their reports may have serious implications. The Brood of Di`zok seems to be more organized than before. Their leadership is becoming more structured... and much more brutal. Production in the mines appears to be increasing and soldiers have been amassing in great numbers.
Other tales have come from this mountain fortress as well. Terror squads and interrogators have decimated the ranks of reported Sarnak traitors. These squads have been working under the leadership of one of the Sarnak Collective's newest council members, Korocust. It can only be presumed that this cleansing is another step towards strengthening the foul brood.
These tales are hard to confirm, since many of your adventurous kind are prone to drink and to the occasional mistruth. If these tales are true, it would only stand to reason that new dangers may reveal new wealth and glory. Perhaps it is time for you to gather your best gear, finish your mug of ale, and head out to investigate.
Good luck adventurers.

I do remember people talking about the Ringed Mace of Ykeshka on eqlive. So it did drop, but I think only for a very short time.
