Oaken Scimitar

[Dawgrin]

I found this post on Druid Grove...

I remember the Oaken Scimitar, and the the Leap of Faith quest in Kelethin that led you to the Oaken Scimitar. I believe Faluviel Yellowhair gave out the quest?

And this...

Well the OP reminded me of the frustration of beating on the alleged oaken scimitar quest in early EQ1 that had something to do with saving the ambassador from an assassin. I can't remember if it was a busted quest that eventually got fixed or just forgotten. The most frustrating thing about it was not being sure if it was a broken quest or if I just needed to keep pluggin away at it. How do you get around that? I'm happy (enough) to keep pluggin away at a challenging puzzle, but feeling like the puzzle is busted is just plain not fun.

From everything I can gather...No one really knew how to quest for this item, but there was a mob who you could kill (presumably the end mob in the quest) who would drop it. People were exploiting this by just killing the mob and not doing the quest at all (since it was bugged, broken, or unknown), so Verant fixed the issue by just taking the mob that dropped it out of the game and never got around to implementing the quest properly.
