Unknown, but highly unlikely. This place where the item and NPC reside is not in a dungeon. The item may be found elsewhere in Norrath. Yes No
We have had this question previously and it is a tough one. I'll answer it this way: The item is a "thing" as stated in the rules. There is also a place and npc involved in the answer, but those are so connected to the "thing" that getting one right will likely lead to the other two.
Thinking over my previous answer to whether a merchant is "involved," I said no. I need to change that to Yes, but may be misleading. The item in question is not sold or given by a merchant.
Mid Recap Ayes Item, looking for place and relevant NPC (also a hint of sorts) PoP or before Item in a zone that existed before Luclin expansion? A merchant is involved with the item (item not sold or given by merchant). Item found on Continent of Velious? Nayes Original EQ Groundspawn Does item resemble . . . Antonica Can item be consumed? Can item be looted from a dead NPC? Is item from Kunark expansion? Plane of Mischief? Item placed in inventory? Related to a Quest? Is the NPC part of the answer pretty? Clickable item? Found in a Dungeon? (not the item in question, otherwise unknown) Time for a Hint: Similar to something I've done previously.
