there is at least one other bind items in the
game...and it is acquired through a low level quest...albeit a somewhat long
one. Turn in the Thex Mallet and you get a Ring of the Dead, which while it
can only be worn by Shadowknights or Necros, has a single charge of bind
which can be used by anybody with the ring in their possession.

Try and get one now. I hear they havent been given once in like a month
since some patch. They were replaced by the Reaper of the Dead as far
as I know. Oh and by the way, with the ring of the dead, they work like
the guise of deciever. Only one class may wear, but ANYONE can activate
from inventory. So in fact, no one has that problem if the ring of dead
in fact is still given as quest item.

Still no conclusive evidence about whether it was usable by anyone from inventory or just DE SK's/Necros...

The only conclusive evidence I can give you on this is the fact that I MQ'd it to a non DE SK/nec on live (a DE wizard who worked faction up just to test) - and he couldn't use. The fact that it was not equippable at first also backs me up on this, that it was indeed restricted by the classes listed. This test was done after it was made no drop though, which was before kunark.

The item on Live is clickable by all classes according to Lucy, and has been that way as long as Lucy has existed. Doesn't prove anything, but does jive with all the accounts I've heard from people other than Zeelot...

<3 you Zeelot.

Would be cool if thats the case! The post from 2004 on http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=1691 says the same thing I found though. Looks like there's ample evidence both ways for some reason [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
