Yeah oogmog I agree. That is kinda what i said. That most people didn't have the info we have today. I could of been fishing for no reason. If they were sold off merchants. I just didn't have the info back than of what merchants they were on, and the means to travel to ecommons easily back than. Just like batwings.
The scales could of been sold back then and I just didn't know. Show evidence that they sold scales before kunark would be cool. "I will do it for you"
The scales could of been added to the merchants years later. I don't know. But with the update below I do pretty much know they were.
I will look it up.
Update: : ) I could find posts of people in 2002 saying that you can make good money buying fish scales and bat wings in ecommons and resell them in the bazaar. They were probably always on a few vendors just not everyone knew about them. Including my wife and myself.
I also found a link of the merchant in ecommons. It does say she is a very popular merchant because she sells endless supplies of spell components. This is 2001 though. I will look for an older link.
Here's a link to eqatlas from pre-kunark that says : Shop with spell components.

This is the best I could find and it pretty much is the evidence of them selling the components pre-kunark. I could not find a list of the components sold though.
In classic i wasted a lot of time collecting wings/scales it seems. : ) But i had fun doing it!
Btw I did not tell the devs to take batwings or fish scales out. I just didn't know if they were in classic or not. So I stocked up on them.
The devs are the best I have ever seen in any mmo. Boats!! Freaking rock on! Constant updates more updates than billion dollar company like blizz. Great in game gm's that help people out. Getting things as classic as possible. Couldn't ask for better people running the server!! Free on top of that!
