A compendium of items which were briefly obtainable in ones adventures, but which were never seen again. This list also includes nerfed items, that were considered overpowered. More often than not they were deemed overly powerful or game changing by the forces that be, and so were removed. In some cases the change was retroactive, but typically not, making these items some of the most sought after in the game.
Contents |
Pre-Kunark

- Rubicite Armor
- Scimitar of the Mistwalker
- Fanged Skull Stiletto

Kunark
- Totem of the Wizened Spirits - no longer drops, replaced by the Totem of the Warrior Spirit.
- Gem Encrusted Ring - no longer drops.
- Locket of Escape - allowed any class, including melee, to bind anywhere that a caster could normally bind themselves. Particularly useful for binding in the Timorous Deep firepot room, as well as in the Plane of Mischief. Removed from the game a few days after the release of Kunark.
- Fungus Covered Great Staff - originally this right-click group-targetable Fungal Regrowth effect could be cast by anyone from an inventory slot. Especially powerful for Necromancers, among others. Replaced with the Fungi Covered Great Staff which require it be equipped to cast - in effect, making it usable by only Druids and Shamans. (ref)
- Robe of Living Fungus - the regeneration effect on the robe was removed retroactively approximately six weeks after the release of Kunark. The only worn Fungal Regrowth armor then becomes the Fungus Covered Scale Tunic. (ref)
- Donal's Chestplate of Mourning - Complete Heal effect nerfed in Velious and eventually removed (further details to be added).
- Singing Steel Greaves - Summon Food effect removed and replaced with ___ in Velious (further details to be added).
Weapons
- Warding Star - no longer drops. Moved to Veeshan's Peak as Star of the Guardian and replaced in Howling Stones with the Guardians Mace
- Ringed Mace of the Ykesha - no longer drops.
- Brokenskull Club - no longer drops.
- Polyphenomenal Axe - no longer drops.
- Ton Po's Bo Stick of Understanding - removed from the game. Only one known to have dropped. (ref1, ref2)
- Rod of Mourning - 29/36 two hand blunt removed from the game, replaced by the 25/36 Rod of Lamentation (ref).
- Blade of the Black Dragon Eye - deemed too powerful to drop from reets in Old Sebilis. Moved to Veeshan's Peak as Sword of the Shissar and replaced in Sebilis with the Blade of the Green Dragon Eye (ref).
- Rod of Annihilation - removed from the game (ref).
- Runed Fighters Staff - the damage/delay ratio coupled with the low delay and 2H damage bonus was deemed overly powerful, particularly in the hands of monks. Replaced with the Imbued Fighters Staff which doubles both the damage and delay.
- Mosscovered Twig - super low delay made it extremely powerful due to the mainhand damage bonus. Made offhand only (8/13/11 patch). Later drop changed to the Mosscovered Branch.
- Barbed Scale Whip - similar to the twig this 4/11 weapon is extremely powerful with the main hand damage bonus. Originally PRI/SEC, nerfed to offhand only (8/13/11 patch) and later the drop was replaced with a 8/22 whip named Scale Hide Whip.
The Future
- Circlet of Shadow - the instant cast invis coupled with Feign Death enables some rather powerful strategies. Replaced with the Circlet of Shadows with a five second cast time. Changed occurs ~6 months after Velious release.
- Earring of Grachnist
Velious
- Breezeboot's Frigid Gnasher
- Holgresh Elder Beads - sought after by Monks (pulling) and Necros (can lifetap), replaced by Holgresh Grand Vizier Beads (Effect: Identify) on ~Jul 2001
- Ornate Velium Pendant - unlimited charges removed (how long after Velious launch?)

Note: that all Primal Weapons still drop, although less often, from The Progenitor and The Final Arbiter. Also, no new items become available after the Sleeper is awoken. (Wrong? What about the dwarf illusion mask. http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=16158. 4 new dragons with a whole different loot table appear.)
