I bought one from a vendor for a couple gold back in Jan 1999, or 1998, can't remember ;). I looked around for about 9 months as to what to do with it. I talked to Ged Twigborn( http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=1884 ) and asked him over and over and in multiple ways what to do with it and of course he was no help. He only deals in HQ pelts. VI had no input as well.
Ged is the guy that makes the Wolf/Bear/Rat/Lion skin gloves. Anyone else remember when these were good items way way back in the day? It was about the same time when lvl 40s asked - "wow, where did you get those Splitpaw gloves?"
