Earthen boots clickable from inventory?

[NegaStoat]

I'm completely conversant with the any/any designation the item has in our P1999 wiki. There was no confusion on my part there involving it. The character I had on P1999 in early 2013 with the item was a Druid - I was attempting to use it from inventory as a ghetto clickie invis for animal charming. It failed me. I vendored the thing or I'd hop on and show the error message I was getting in a screenshot and post it.

Another item I had high hopes for in possibly working from the inventory was the Words of Darkness necro item. On old retail for a short amount of time that thing DID work in inventory for any class (much like the old Guise of the Deceiver) and it was quickly nerfed by Verant to read as class only for the click - which is what they applied to the Earthen Boots which was being referenced by the gentleman with the 2003 quote in the Allakhazam link that I tossed up above.

Edit - for those curious, the Words of Darkness does indeed only work for Necromancers on P1999 for the effect click. Getting the book of frost to drop in Perma was an absolute bitch. I did score a LOT of ore, FS weapons, Enchanter words, and 5 nets and some ivory necklaces before I did get it.

I checked, because I have a wizard and porting around and killing mobs is easy enough. They don't work as you said. I only checked because some of the Sol Ro quests work for other classes, like the reclaim energy clickie on the mage focus item...thought it was worth a try. I might try the clay bracelet, because if that works on my nec it would be pretty cool [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

But Earthen Boots are a dude for breaking charm. Guess I'll have to camp my gobbo ring.

I wish I had seen this thread sooner. I quested these on my enchanter but they definitely do not work for enchanters. I have them in the bank, though, holding onto a glimmer of hope that one day they might work....
