Holy crap! I haven't seen any of these since the first time they introduced traders! I thought they were removed from the game Someone who bought tons of them must've logged in after ages of not playing, and sold a few. Funny part is nothing I've killed in prophecies (back then) has ever dropped one for me. I beleive they don't actually drop but were sold out after material traders were added in like a week. Hence the reason almost noone knows about them or remembers seeing them. Wish I hadn't sold the 3 I had so many months ago which I bought for 900g each without knowing what they did cause I was bored lol. I do find it strange how they still exist but don't have a slot in material storage. /confused

Can ya give us more information on that? Were they Material-Trader-only buys during the first week, or did they actually come from drops? Might add it to the wiki.

As far as I know, they have never dropped from any enemy and were only available through the rare material trader. When they sold out after that week that was the last I saw of them (thought they were removed) until I came upon this thread. The three that I had were sold in august 05 after I got my first Fissure armor for my ele and realized they didn't have a use. Though after selling them, they didn't appear in the traders stock but he did give me a whopping 250g for each of them. lol

This is obviously for ch4. In ch4 we're going to throw these things at gwen's head so she'll finally shut up about items that she can get herself 2 feet away from her.
