Gear that talksFollow

There's one more piece in that set - talking leather breeches. I think it drops off the named clockwork spider in the cul-de-sac next to the ledge.

Fancy Leather Pantaloons.

Based on the item numbers... looks like this was a one expansion feature (Dragons of Norrath) that they tossed a few new items on circa Secrets of Faydwer and Veil of Alaris respectively.

Now that you mention that... I remember my brother hunting a couple of these in Depths of Darkhollow zones. Maybe the links I looked up were assigned the wrong era?

I think it's all Darkhollow stuff. I love the DoD theme - and spent a fair amount of time there, but don't recall specifics. An awesome ranger-only clicky drops in Undershore(?,) but i forget what it does. It's a tough series of zones with lots of cross traffic / roaming mobs with tricky pulling and odd pathing.

I wanted this but cold never quite turn the corner on Zoriles the Champion while boxing a L65 shaman + L62(?) ranger

Talking and evolving items was a neato idea, I guess. Honestly though, the biggest problem with the idea was that it took so long for the gear to level up, that it was worthless to bother with once it was no longer current content (and frankly questionable even when it was). If they'd made the gear actually continue to level up as you did, that would have been a much better approach. Of course, I can see why they didn't do that though. They need people to replace/upgrade their gear every expansion, otherwise no one will bother with the content. So a neat idea, but one that couldn't survive for long, almost by design.

I never really liked the DoD expansion anyway. It wasn't terrible. And to be fair, it did have some interesting quests. I just really hated the geometry of the zones themselves. They looked really cool (which was an incredibly nice change from the previous several expansions where it felt like I was adventuring at the local public middle school), but pathing sucked really really bad. Visibility was bad. Finding routes just to travel through a zone without getting aggro was bad. Line of sight for spell casting was bad. Just far too many negatives, which outweighed the nice looks IMO.
