I'm still not sure what to do with this.

Imagine that I know nothing at all about the item or the quest, but I have all the tools at my disposal to change it.

To complete the https://wiki.project1999.com/Mirgon_Dower%27s_Head quest you need the following items:

13073 Bone Chips
16533 Zombie Flesh
12396 a preserved eye (Right Eye of Torture )
12397 a preserved eye (Left Eye of Torture )
12399 a dried tongue (Tongue of Torture )
12402 Salt Minnow (Salt Minnow)

The Zombie Flesh does not exist in Classic. It was added later, in 2003, dropping off a new mob called "a rotting flesh hunter" (https://alt.games.everquest.narkive....g-flesh-hunter)

Also, Salt Minnows were added at the same time. You can see the Initial entry date of 5/16/03 here https://eq.magelo.com/item/12402

Another issue is that some quest items would not fit inside the Hollow Skull https://wiki.project1999.com/Hollow_...the_Tower_Cook)

The initial Hollow Skull had capacity TINY https://eq.magelo.com/item/17013
After the fix, the capacity is MEDIUM https://eq.magelo.com/item/17019

IMO the easiest fix is to bork the combine.

So, no matter what you place in the Hollow Skull and click combine, it should just fail.

You can see they fixed this quest in the patch notes here http://www.tski.co.jp/baldio/patch/20030514.html

The Skull of Torment quest - This quest, in Kurn's Tower, should now work.

They mistakenly call it the Skull of Torment quest (there is no Skull of Torment), it's the Skull of Torture, and that's not even the name of the quest (Mirgon Dower's Head) but it was right after that people started seeing the rotting flesh hunters and were able to finally fish for the salt minnow.

Also, regarding the Skull of Torture:

This is the live Skull of Torture, after the quest was fixed:

(This item has Burning Affliction)

However, the original Skull of Torture (without the spell) https://wiki.project1999.com/The_Skull_of_Torture is NOT a quest reward. It's just a rare drop in Kurns. I remember trying to sell it back in the day, I'm trying to remember where it dropped (I could have sworn it was the cook).
