[iamjack]

the EC vendor does sell batwing before any exp
the caster guild don't sell it until sometime later
but ya...the EC vendor do sell batwings

Yeah oogmog I agree. That is kinda what i said. That most people didn't have the info we have today. I could of been fishing for no reason. If they were sold off merchants. I just didn't have the info back than of what merchants they were on, and the means to travel to ecommons easily back than. Just like batwings.

The scales could of been sold back then and I just didn't know. Show evidence that they sold scales before kunark would be cool. "I will do it for you"

The scales could of been added to the merchants years later. I don't know. But with the update below I do pretty much know they were.

I will look it up.

Update: : ) I could find posts of people in 2002 saying that you can make good money buying fish scales and bat wings in ecommons and resell them in the bazaar. They were probably always on a few vendors just not everyone knew about them. Including my wife and myself.

I also found a link of the merchant in ecommons. It does say she is a very popular merchant because she sells endless supplies of spell components. This is 2001 though. I will look for an older link.

Here's a link to eqatlas from pre-kunark that says : Shop with spell components.

This is the best I could find and it pretty much is the evidence of them selling the components pre-kunark. I could not find a list of the components sold though.

In classic i wasted a lot of time collecting wings/scales it seems. : ) But i had fun doing it!

Btw I did not tell the devs to take batwings or fish scales out. I just didn't know if they were in classic or not. So I stocked up on them.

The devs are the best I have ever seen in any mmo. Boats!! Freaking rock on! Constant updates more updates than billion dollar company like blizz. Great in game gm's that help people out. Getting things as classic as possible. Couldn't ask for better people running the server!! Free on top of that!
Please donate!

I am 100 percent sure that they were sold in EC, I had a druid friend that would port to wc and we would run into ec and buy them in the inn right next to zone, it also had fish scales and other reagents that were needed, it is the only place I know of in classic that had them, but 100 percent sure they were there, I started in march of 1999, and I would have been around level 30 to 40 in this time range. dont have a date, but that would still have been in 1999 for sure.

I kinda like having to buy regents from players... I also play a druid.

Nothing wrong with noobers having more than bone chips to sell.
plus batwings arnt that high in demand.

I say leave em out classic or not.

then again... I dont want a 100% classic server

Bat wings were always for sale in unlimited quantities on the female erudite vendr in EC at the inn closest to the WC zone line.

Well, that clinches it.

My question is... if we need to find proof of something before something is changed in a patch to more closely reflect "classic", then how come no one was required to post proof that bat wings were NOT on certain merchants in classic? It's kind of a double standard to take something out on someone's "memory" or "opinion" and then require us to post proof that it in fact should be put back in. It shouldn't have been removed without proof. Not trying to stir shit, just an honest question so something like this doesn't happen again.

I don't answer to you. There's nothing that I can say that will guarantee "something like this won't happen in the future". Have you ever played a game where each and every patch was fabulously perfect?

I said I would add bat wings back to the vendors that needed them... and that it would be done by next patch.

If you're looking for something else, you're reading too far into the bat wings.
