this item http://db.vanillagaming.org/?item=7515, from the lvl 30 or 40 (cant remember which) mage quest is actually a different item which is just an offhand with like +6 int, +3 fire/ice/arc power.
i had a mage that i never got to 60 way back in the day and i remember the version of the orb that restores 1200 mana, which was one of the best items to keep around for a switch macro- free 1200 more mana on a cooldown.
my question is, is the inferior version of the item we get at the moment the earlier or later version of the item? that is, will it morph into the item that restores 1200 mana later, or will it always be the version we have now?
any insight from someone who had a mage back then would be greatly appreciated
