Bat Wings?

[astarothel]

Yeah, that thread wasn't exactly unanimous or solid by any means, so I would assume that there's a couple other pieces of info we don't have about it. It's also possible that bat wings were placed on a very limited number of vendors between release and kunark, but certainly not all the vendors that previously had them pre-patch on Project1999 (which was a lot). There has to be some reason people were collecting them as noobies and selling them like bone chips...

I just read the patch message and thought the same thing. I'm not almost 100%.....I AM 100% sure you could always buy batwings from the EC spell gems merchant.

The second thought I had was, WTF can't they fix what they have already nerfed that was never in classic live before nerfing new things that were never in classic live? Specificly, detrimental spell worn off messages. Getting really sick of having to either eyeball a mob running at me or wait for it to bash my head into a wall when breaking root when I never had to in '99.

Who gives a shit about bat wings anyway? Priorities?

Best words of knowledge I've gotten. It doesn't matter what you KNOW, it's what you can prove.

Then after Kunark, I didn't have to worry about restocking when I hit 51 because of no reagent Levitation spell at that level.

Absolutely. There was a time newbies made some extra spending cash by selling Bat Wings for the purpose of Lev to higher level druids, however this was more a gesture of gratuity. Fish scales were also sold on the same merchant in EC.

Those of you bashing the devs for not prioritizing need to understand how priorities work before you start screaming.

Something of minor significance BECOMES high priority when it's trivial to fix. I'm guessing it literally took the code worker 10 seconds to find the mob in EC and remove bat wings from her item set.

If you're standing next to a mailbox with a sealed letter that needs mailing, would you refuse to drop it in because you needed to go grocery shopping for dinner?

I know of about ten Bat Wings vendors in FP/Commons area alone that existed pre patch, but yea, removing items from a vendor list is relatively easy.

The non-reagent lev spell was a Luclin spell, so that logic seems pretty sketchy to me already.

Yeah. Everyone knew you could get batwings from the EC hut in classic.

I also thought that bat wings were not sold by merchants back in classic / kunark.

But after researching I found that before kunark they were definitely on a few vendors.

Click Trade supplies / East Commons. Also sold in other zones. I coulda swore they weren't sold in classic , but this page doesn't lie.

This is from the old eqtraders pre kunark.

I remember people selling them is the only reason I didn't think mechs sold them.
Also it was hard to find info back then. Like who sold them. So not everyone knew.

Fish scales is another story I will have to research that. I do remember fishing for hours to get some scales.

No offense here, but the same vendor with scales also sells wings. If you weren't aware of the bat wings, probably the same could be said for the scales[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
