Miscellaneous: Missing Item: Blood of Dragonkind

[Baugi]

Neat find. It can't be vendored and it has a cast time of 8.0s according to Lucy, but it wasn't entered until 2005. Magelo claims added on 10/22/01 and instant cast so maybe nerfed later -

I wonder how long it actually survived on the loot table though. A lot of those items had been completely revamped before the end of Velious. For example -

Blydreln's Bane -

Had been altered (presumably to the current stats) by Aug 12 2001 according to the alla comment section -

The +20str should make up for not using a 2HS

first let me say this item has been upgraded, haste is like 50% or more, 15more ac, more hps, more wis/int

(ignore the bit about haste, they were confused and it was a hidden stat to be fair)

ect.

I think most of the relevant item changes happened ~June/July 2001 so I imagine it was removed from the loot table then.

Some good P99 threads from when they were working on Velious -

Edit: this dates the patch I was thinking of to June 28, 2001 -

As we all know, many of the items were upgraded today. North ToV loot finally got the upgrades we all knew were coming.
