Do you remember: Chipped Bone Rod
I started Everquest I think March 21 1999. After playing some months I left. I came back in 2001. I'm fairly confident I saw chipped bone rods in 1999. I think most of us didn't use them, but I think I did once or twice, I'm just not sure if it was 1999 or 2001. I do know it was early on when I knew about them.
How many people have forgotten about these? The downside was the cost. For a new player it was high. I foudn this on allah: http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=3616 As early as Jan 2001 a player is saying they were on a merchant in Kelethin. Me, I played in Qeynos mostly, and I'm sure I saw them on a merchant somewhere. I wish I could find concrete evidence.

Why can't I edit my OP? I posted just a few minutes ago. Whats up with that?
So I wanted to post about the fact the original Everquest manual has a picture on hte back of a $14.95 guide named "EVERQUEST: THE OFFICIAL PLAYERS GUIDE". It's "DIMENSION P-U-B-L-I-S-H-I-N-G" and "989 Studios". Someone somewhere has to have one of those buried in their attic. If that doesn't mention the corpse rods, I don't think anything will, since this precedes launch and corpse rods SHOULD be in a guide. The old phone number: 916-989-0171. So anyway, I'm certain this question has been definitely answered by someone!? There'd be a s****load of people to remember and have specifics. EDIT: Oh and I'm sorry I'm remiss to mention I posted because the wiki leads me to believe the corpse rods only drop in befallen and only sell in W Karana or Thurgadin: http://wiki.project1999.com/Chipped_Bone_Rod Based on the Allah link and my own memories, I beg to differ?

Ah, I was just thinking about these the other day... (And not because I was slain by a griffon or anything.)

Ok. Update. I looked up "www.everlore.com" on the internet archive. I used to go there.
Here's a snapshot for May 12 2001. However, the comments below are from 1999: http://web.archive.org/web/200105121...=show&IID=1799 Some example comments: 10/13/1999: Quote:

I've now seen multiple references to a merchant behind/near hte bank in S qeynos selling them. I've also seen multiple references to them being sold in Erudin. Now, if these only drop in Befallen and are only sold in W Karana and Thurgadin, it makes me wonder how they get to Qeynos or Erudin merchants? Why would a player sell a rod to a merchant unless it was either out of charges or it was loot? If it's loot, it makes me think the person who wrote--in the above link--they dropped on a Necro bat/pet in Erud's Crossing could be a possible explanation due to proximity.

No, they used to be sold from multiple poison/herb vendors, the ones that also sell the cloudy potions, etc. I also noticed that 'only in Thurgadin' wasn't correct for the era as far as I can remember, they should be available elsewhere as real inventory rather than sold by players.

As a rogue, chipped bone rods always had, and still have, a place in my inventory; a dedicated 10 slot bag full of them when I had the inventory space not already occupied by various click items and spent more time in larger zones where they were most useful. All my characters have a few in the bank for corpse runs that require them.
