Some useful NODROP items for lowbies?

In classic Era, people just seem to have completely forgotten about what was a very powerful weapon before Kunark : The gnoll slayer. 1st part of the quest which was from killing the named gnoll in BlackBurrow gave you a 6/28 weapon +5 gnoll bane dmg.
the final version involved killing 2 named mobs in Splitpaw and got you the final version which was a 1HS sword 15/40 with +10 gnoll bane dmg. Sure the delay is 40 but it was nice to have a 1HS with 15 dmg on it that could be used by every melee class and was a nice weapon for SK's since pallies would get the Ghoulbane.

People don't count it because the second part didn't exist until the Luclin era when the quest was revamped. During the classic era Gnoll Slayer is simply a 6/28 sword with no stats, no bane damage (which if you recollect is a luclin-era stat), not even magic flagged. I want to say the quest didn't even work during the Velious time frame--I've no memory of seeing Lord Elgnub ever even spawn in that period--but haven't been able to prove that.

The only weapon I know of during the Velious era that had bane damage was the Greenmist. That thing was only added very late in the expansion in anticipation for Luclin.

hmm, didn't know that, now that I remember I did do it for fun during the Luclin era...
