Wasnt Whitened Treant Fists, was just plain old Treant Fists.

They started out as an experiment in procs on gloves for h2h. At the time, it was impossible to assign special abilities to bare fists.

However, through whatever flub, the gloves with completely broken effect ended up on live. Instant rclick complete heal FROM inventory slot....unlimited use.

Supposedly there was a monk on one server who solo'd plane of fear with a pair before the GMs booted him and took his gloves.

They were only in the game for about a week after the word got out. The NPC was revamped eventually and turned into the quest npc for a craptacular neck of nekesha (only cool part was some lore about a monk who could run faster then bards...implement that plz).

As for exploits...there was ALOT pre-kunark. My favorite was the druids/wiz who would stand on top of the blood fountain in the frenzy ghoul room and solo the whole place alone since the npcs couldnt path up there. The sleeping bards playing AE dmg song on top of the temple in CT was another classic

2 uber Kunark Weapons that were nerfed:

Rod of Annihilation (60/40 1HB):

http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=154

and the Moss Covered Twig (3/10 1HB):

http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=4

The Rod is caster only so I have no idea why it was nerfed. The Twig was pretty sick though. I remember all the people crying who had just bought a twig for massive amounts of pp and then it got nerfed.

OMFG that 20/20 wand that procs ice comet would be fun to have.

I seem to vaguely remember a cleric I use to know mentioning something about a Bixie Stinger, a 1/3 All All weapon that dropped off Bixies early on in the game.

And what mobs where being hit by Yelinaks AE? Did those wierd Lizard fish use to be in the pools to either side of him in his lair?

People would train the constructs into Yeli's range, then his rampage would hit the mobs and they'd atk Yeli.

my guild had fun seeing how few people we had to assemble to kill TEH BEEG FEESH in otter village zone...you got that big wanker to AE you in center camp and the otterfolk tore him apart. I think once they beat him so bad he only finished them off at 10% or something. Although you had to be careful, every now and then they'd hand his ass to him somehow...

being the only druid with that particular circle on the server was a good thing. assloads of CoF-ripoff cloaks for all!

rusty ulaks are overpowered! Did you notice they were flagged MAGIC? omfg leet.....(all the good old-world ridiculous weapons already got mentioned.) Uhm...The Erudite Paladin only shield! The uberifficness of it made up for the crappiness of that combo back then! sort of.

wasn't the moss-covered twig 2hb though? Thought that was one reason...ridiculously quick to train your skill up with it. beh, maybe not.

Moss covered twings and the original Mark of Karn were probably the most broken abilities that Verant introduced intentionally. I remember when a 60 monk with epic and wielding two mosscovered twigs soloed a Sebillite Juggernaught (remember, this was pre-100 HP All/All gear) that had been Mark of Karned.

I might be wrong, but it seems to me that epic quests were introduced after the moss covered twig was made offhand only and stoped dropping.

Greehma on SolRo had them, they did a single group clearing of hate pre-kunark. Actually I think it was the first time hate was cleared on SolRo.

They were nerfed a couple days later.

I would add Manastone to this list, at least the old world one before it got disabled.

What about the necros who did a /pet guard here on a certain spawn point and went to sleep (fd)... their pets were so uber at the time that they could easily hold about any camp.

Also, there was a place in Qeynos that you could stand on a building and nuke onto the guards on the ground. Another place in Steamfront that you could stand and a certain clockwork woudn't path there. One more in Highhold Pass that you could nuke onto the guards (out in the courtyard, may have been able to nuke the bard lady, not the guards, /shrug).

At first, the Fungi Staff was usable by any class from inventory.
