rumor has it, this is a quest item yet no one figured it out on live. any figure it out here or better yet, did the devs even quest it?

[cyryllis]

yes it is supposedly an unsolved quest, along with dozens of other quests that were never solved on live. I would guess that:

A- the quest was broken, like so many other live quests and never fixed

B- nobody made any progression with it because no one wanted to run around handing in a super rare item to an NPC only to have it eaten

or C- the devs are full of shit and wanted to fuck with people

either way, since no one ever found any real information about a quest involving the item, it certainly has no quest on this server and therefore is best not handed into any NPC

I concur on the hundreds. Dev's stated a long time ago that there were over a hundred classic quests that had never even been started. And as someone who rewrote most of the classic quests here (and poorly I might add), I can confirm there was still a TON of them.

Ohhh I hope the answer to this is yes! Maybe we can get some hints if so!

I know i spent months trying to figure out the unfinished molds you get in crushbone when you turn in various crap on live when i was bored with the grind to 85, i never figured those out either....they will haunt me until i'm old and senile in the nursing home mumbling ....unfinished blade mold....

I asked Smed this on an AMA,
he confirmed GBS was never used in a live quest and just a rumor to me.

Norrath was ripe with UNFINISHED quests by the team, however, look at iksar pike line etc and references but unable to complete.

I spent over a year on that goddamn quest line. A goddamn YEAR.

I understand it was eventually fixed but by that point I'd already jumped ship.
