Post-Kunark Sky items

[Zeelot]

I was discussing with a friend about when after Kunark release certain sky items got their upgrades. I believe that it was pretty shortly after release. Anyone know exactly?

It sure would be nice... the ranger cloak goes from pure garbage to pretty damn awesome.

JULY 19, 2000
Items:
* Increased stats on many Plane of Sky items.

This was the same patch when they implemented this:

Keyed Dungeons:
The key for Charasis (Howling Stones) is now NODROP per the patch message from a couple of weeks ago. Furthermore, when your character dies, keys for Charasis, Sebilis, and Veeshan's Peak, will no longer remain with your corpse, but will instead return with your character to its bind point. We made this change to reduce the difficulty and corpse-loss potential of these zones, and eliminate the need to do the key quests multiple times.

Long story short, the upgrades happen a month after VoX and Naggy get the level 52 cap implemented and roughly a month before the outdoor dragons go live in Kunark.

I really really hope the keys start out soulbound, otherwise this is going to be an absolute shit show for months.

Risk versus reward. You want to be there before everyone else, you just have to deal with it. I say stick with the timeline!

I mean imagine the first bastards on classic who had to find this stuff out the hard way? And how long did it take for word to spread throughout the raiding community on all the live servers? We at least have the knowledge ahead of time so there is no real excuse.

You can't be serious, right? Jk?

Right, and the only reason it was revamped is due to unforeseen corpse decays that the GMs were obligated to resolve.
