Miscellaneous: Brown Rust Dye - Fine Plate Greaves

[loramin]

I really think this is just an EQ Traders fail, because EQ Traders even contradicts themselves. If you look at the earliest dye page on the site (back when it was simple HTML), from Feb 02, 2001, they're very clear:

How to dye your armor:

Take a completed piece of fine steel plate armor, place it in the forge along with 1 dye ...

Allakhazam also lists the correct recipe, https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/...l?recipe=21508 ... and it has done so since the first Waback entry (which unfortunately was only from 2010 ... but hopefully it can serve as a proxy for live?):

1 x Fine Plate Greaves - Crafted

It seems far more likely that EQ Traders introduced a data entry error, when they switched from HTML to using a proper database for the site ... than that they themselves previously had it wrong, and so did other major sites like 'Zam.

Also FWIW, as an old school trade schoolers myself, I don't remember any issues like this (not that memory is worth much).
