They probably just went through items tagged as "quest items" that had no actual quests attached and made something up for the new expansion. Devs already said a few years ago that there are no unsolved old quests/etc. Everything was completed.

Well, according to here: https://www.everquest.com/news/resto...-february-2017

They have restored the quests (not sure what that means - unfinished on the dev side, maybe?). Many of the items have been in the game since at least 2002 (probably earlier) but no one ever figured out what they were for. The stats are in line for high end Kunark items as well. I'm thinking they could actually be legit.

Players still on live have been working together to solve the quests just like the old days: https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/...-patch.238498/

Edit:

Here's an interesting comment from 2003: http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/i...05962148523492

This is not really new. As in, this has been dropping for a long time. Prolly since Kunark came out. Its just that nobody seems to know what its for. Its obviosly a quest item. but seems to have no quest for it.

I am starting to believe that these were in the original expansion, however the many revamps in several Kunark zones actually broke them. There are new entries on Alla for various items that drop in zones that have undergone changes (City of Mist, Chardok), although there are also odd additions I don't quite understand just yet (rusty mithril sword from Phinny in Kedge?!).

Edit 2: Here's an example of what I'm finding -
Quest: The Righteous Order http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/q...tml?quest=8464
requires a Sphere of Primal Elements from a froglok krup mage in Sebilis - earliest comment on the item page is from 2002, but the earliest on the mob page is actually from 2001 (post-Luclin) and he was dropping the sphere even then.
Then another item required is Globe of the Thoughtful Mind, dropped by a named in Mines of Nurga (a revamped zone on live)
Then we have Firefly Candle (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=56361), which apparently used to drop before and now drops again in TT from a Night Warder (not sure if TT was revamped or changed)
The various other items are not well-commented otherwise, or were added after the patch when they were discovered (re-discovered?)

They're all like that. You can find all the quests discovered so far here: http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/q...tml?quest=8466
