These were definately not handed out recently. The event was more than two years ago. Let me rephrase that. They were originally handed out more than two years ago. I suppose it's possible that they were handed out again in a more recent event.
Go look at the Rubicite Mask (also has stats) in the EQ'lizer database (http://www.gameznet.com/eq/equipment/rubicitemask.html). Notice the copyright date at the bottom of the page? 1999. That page pre-date's the recent Cazic Thule remodel (and the recent EQ'lizer remodel, for that matter :P). It's been in their database for years. Same thing for the Rubicite Cloak (http://gameznet.com/eq/equipment/rubicitecloak.html). Heck, look at the Rubicite Cloak in the Allakhazam database (https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=2640). It was last updated in December of 2000.
And as a quick note, the original rubicite drops were in Cazic Thule. Awhile after the drops had been removed, there was an event in Najena where it dropped for a few days (over a week on some servers).
just a little FYI, the original rubicite was from najena. man that dates me. i remember when Jboots were farmed in najena 24/7, and you had to wait in long lines to get it.
