Finally! A use for this silly pebble! Now if only we can find a use for the druids and rangers, since this quest cannot be done by them.

You may have caught this already, but the following items are not present in the P99 database:

- Ice Radish from Halas
- Rathe Berries from Lake Rathetear
- Tea Leaves from Highpass

While the leaves from Highpass and the radish from Halas are specifically mentioned in both the Sep1999 thread and the Oct1999 newsgroup post, they are not present in the EQTraders forage table I linked above. They aren't even listed in the live EQTraders database. It would be interesting if anyone managed to forage them on the Live servers.

The rathe berries do appear on the in-era EQTraders forage table linked above, however.

Also, flagging Tea Leaves and Thunderhoof Mushrooms for Sep1999 will effectively break the Feskr's Supplies quest until that date. This quest was added to the game with the Apr2000 revamp of Kerra Isle.

The Rathe Berries are present in the actual db - I believe I didn't catch that when I did a blanket removal of general 'Berries' for the text I posted in the thread.

For the Ice Radish and Tea Leaves, I guess I'm wondering do they exist on live today? If they were originally in those zones and then removed, why?

Also, flagging Tea Leaves and Thunderhoof Mushrooms for Sep1999 will effectively break the Feskr's Supplies quest until that date. This quest was added to the game with the Apr2000 revamp of Kerra Isle.

Aside from the drops, what else broke the ability to do this quest - i.e. should Feskr simply not respond/interact prior to Apr2000?

By effectively break, I just meant players wouldn't be able to complete the quest until Sep1999 due to the missing drops. More of an FYI than anything else.

It's probably easiest to just leave Feskr as is. Allix in Kerra Isle offers quest text for the classically broken The Luck of Allix quest. So Feskr would be similar until Sep1999.
