Quest Issue: Darkforge Armor NPCs should spawn in Najena and Mistmoore from Oct1999 to Feb2000

[Dolalin]

Back on topic, there were several bits to Darkforge quests that changed over time. They are mentioned in the Knight Watch guide:

But didn't they used to.....

Mistmoore/Najena: Previously the 2 quest giving Undead Knights lived in Mistmoore and Najena - they have since been moved to the Temple of Sol Ro.

Minotaur Hero: Previously the Additional Component for a Darkforge Bracer was a Minotaur hero shackle also used in the Hero Bracer quest. It was changed due to heavy competion from Hero Bracer farmers.

Gorillas: For one historic week the Gorillas in Cazic Thule dropped Decayed - they haven't done since.

AC/Weight: The stats for Darkforge have been changed, the AC increased and the weight decreased.

Decayed Drops Rates: Previously Crusaders drop one or none decayed. They now seem to drop one or two pieces. Crusaders have also been made much more common

Nodrop: The armor was originally nodrop, but this was changed when the AC was increased. The decayed pieces remain nodrop.

On that last point, the Cleric armor was no drop too until this same patch (November 3rd 1999). So that lines up. I don't know what its pre-buff stats were though:

I have a bug open already for when the weight should change (May 2000):

Mino Hero bracer change probably happened when they finally fixed the Stumpwatch 99 stuff (Feb 17th, 2000):

Class-Specific Armor Quests

Class-Specific armor quests, especially those belonging to Clerics, Paladins, and Shadowknights, have been reduced in terms of how long it will take the average person to acquire the armor. These classes, and others that found particular pieces of their armor exceedingly difficult to obtain should find it much easier now.
