Is it the rod that is summoned and new players use to click it for mana to health and killed level 1 players? Sorry i forgot the name. The current summoned rods have a level requirement now to prevent that.
is it the Qeynos shield of foundation from /claim .. from the Pre-order of SoD expansion .. I still have mine
Was this item deliberately planned to be limited in availability? As opposed to something that was removed as a "nerf" or some change in design/expectations
No, to the best of accumulated player knowledge. The item was created by SOE and removed by DBG; read into that what you will. On the other hand, its removal cannot be described as a "nerf" in any gaming sense. Design intentions are something to which I must yield to devs.
Hmm I need to know this so I'll almost ask one of Zam's questions: Does the item come from an NPC? Whether dropped or through some quest, but not limited to that
Oops, hope it was clear that I meant, "Did it come from an NPC?" But next question... was it an in-game purchase from the SOE marketplace?
