Moss covered Twig

[Wakanda]

It was always explained to me back in the day that the twig was removed because the damage was too insane. I feel like it was discussed excessively on the forums at the time. I never saw one in game though, so it’s basically hearsay at this point.

The reason I inquired about it in this thread is because I saw a YouTube video about the top 10 removed / nerfed EQ items, and the guy filming the video said the Twig was removed because it could push mobs. But I always heard the opposite, and that it was just insane dps.

I feel like fast weapons were a bigger deal in OG EQ in general. I remember jade maces, locustlure and lamentations were really popular compared to how they are now.

Some interesting comments from back in the day, although nothing too early. Still shows what a notorious item it was. I remember kicking myself for not getting one [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

There was also some other stuff that got removed during this same time period, if I recall? Was there not some 15 damage harpoon when Kunark first came out that they quickly removed from the game?
