I have to ask. Is there a reason why items from the Duskruin digging that were considered a "t5" win were duplicated and put into the regular treasure feeders?

There are now two sets of the following:

a blackened faewood case decorated with ruby and obsidian runes (beltworn, holds medium, scripted)
a blackened faewood scepter with a ruby-eyed obsidian drake headpiece (5x, fire flares)
some blackened spidersilk robes trimmed with ruby and obsidian runes (4x, moderately resist to fire attacks)
a fiery red ruby ring flecked with obsidian (crumbly rechargeable 1706)
a blackened palimpsest scribed with fiery red ink (906, 908, 519)

...which makes me kind of sad, because less unique special snowflake. :(

Liia says, "SHUN ME."
You stare darkly at Liia then stick your nose up and turn your head away from her with a snap.
Liia kisses you tenderly on the nose.

Besides the few things at Duskruin that were designated as being "single items", was anything ever promised as being unique?

It could be that it was a really good treasure box... that happened to contain something that you had seen before.

I asked about this a long time ago--Fawn was still in charge--and she mentioned that some times GMs will make what they think is "A Really Cool Looking Item!" that turns out to have been influenced by, or even have exactly the same description as, something else that already exists.
I even offered two specific examples to her, and she said that yes, they could very well be cases of exactly this happening.
(One was a word-for-word identical item as Maruko's old wonder-sword... mine was a +15 short sword. [I eventually sold that one.] The other I still have, and is a word-for-word identical item as something from one of the early web Auctions... mine is +10 with lightning flares.)

Two very nice finds in one month. Congrats! In all the years that I've played I've never been that lucky.

Where do you hunt? ;)

There's also a good chance that the items were only removed in Prime, come to think of it. But we do duplicate a lot of treasure items for descriptions. Sometimes properties are slightly different.
