If the rod isn't in-game I'd make a new post to the Bugs forum with the evidence you've collected.

Loramin, I haven't collected enough convincing evidence the rods were sold by default. I'm confident the people running this server have good reason to put rods on merchants in W Karana and Thurgadin. Right now, the comments are alluding to possible rods being sold in Kelethin, Erudin, Qeynos and maybe a few other cities, maybe all near the bank. Why near the bank? I've tried to find more comments in the internet archive, but so far the well is dry.
On p1999, I checked some of the merchants behind the bank in Qeynos and saw no chipped bone rods. I suspect the wiki is accurate and they're only sold in W Karana and Thurgadin. You said there're two possibilities: the wiki is wrong or the game is wrong. The wiki is probably not wrong. And the game doesn't have to be wrong if the wiki is right. The third possibility is the comments I've read were incorrect about the items being sold by default. They were sold to the merchants and the players erroneously concluded it was sold by default. I will continue to pursue this.

From what I recall they were on limited merchants at release and additional ones at some future time.

Regarding the merchant type, at least in Qeynos, it seems this might be true. I haven't checked Erudin or Kelethin yet to see if those references are linked to herb or potion sellers. I imagine hte answer is out there, but it has to be

it is possible to replace the sense heading training trick with a macro for /loc and then make a tiny window that displays similar messages. that way you always have your loc on death, as long as you hit walk forward sometime around the time you died (which is fairly reliable).

I'm new to this and oft clumsy. Please forgive any stupidity on my part.
Here's the link: https://web.archive.org/web/20010427...h.shtml?id=600 Aright, here's the deal, I've been looking at the internet archive records for "everquest.allakhazam.com" and I've been scratching off possible evidence once after the other, since almost all the NPCs only show chipped bone rods being sold Nov 2002 and after. I made the mistake of looking at the "items sold" perhaps too frequently, since I may have missed a couple of the images. And here's the rub, I was about to leave because Sharin Denuen didn't have a items sold list in the snapshots, but then I looked at the image. I realized it probably showed a chipped bone rod. So I thought, wait how old is this image? So I brought up the earliest snapshot. Guess what? It's Apr 27 2001. What's so special about this image? First, it existed at least Apr 27 2001. Second, it clearly shows Sharin Denuen. It looks like a legit screenshot. And from what I understand, the old client shows the DEFAULT items first--topdown. There's a wand-looking item in the 4th position, and it's showing potions with greater positions, meaning it's probably a default item. From what I gather, that wand-looking thing is probably a chipped bone rod. Here's the image of the chipped bone rod. It looks the same: http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=3616 One more thing. The image caption on the new Sharin Denuen page says "Uploaded July 24th, 2007", but this is probably because the address for the page AND the image changed--I confirmed this. The snapshot shows this image existed in 2001 on a different domain. When the addresses changed, they re-uploaded the image to the new page and the date was inserted. That's the best evidence I have so far, I think, if I haven't missed anything. Here's the roughdraft list of NPCs I've collected: Quote:
