FM Bind item

[Angelox]

Does anyone remember this? there was an item that dropped in FM, you could bind your non-caster/binder type, anywhere with it. I was wanting to look at this item, forgot who dropped it and its name - I just remember it was FM.

I don't remember there being an item dropped that let you bind yourself at all. I do remember though that you could be bound there at the ruins. There was even an NPC there that would remind you that you could be bound if I remember correctly.

I could be wrong though been a while since I did FM....how I miss those days :(

According to Lucy, these are the only items that currently have Bind Affinity on them:

• Potion of Binding (LoN card game reward)
• Cloak of Souls (GM Item)
• Ring of the Dead (DE SK/Nec only quest from Neriak 3rd Gate)
• Locket of Escape (the one you're thinking of that dropped back in the day)

According to EQAtlas, it looks like it used to be dropped by Chief RokGus in Droga pre-2001:

Ledge Room with Chief RukGus who drops RukGus's Sticker (Common), Locket of Escape (Uncommon), Idol of the Thorned (Rare), and Essence of Dol (Rare), also in area are Stitcher who drops Pattern for Grakka's Tail, Bodyguard who drops Whip of Strangulation (Common), Circlet of Shadows (Rare), and Gauntlets of Potence (Very Rare), and Maddened Burynai who drops Burynai Legion Gi (Rare)

On a somewhat related note, I found a list of zones where Bind can be cast (including areas where it is limited to a specific part of the zone).

I don't remember that thing at all Andmetal, and I played since a couple weeks after release...good find hehe

Good stuff! especially the bind zone info ( I have EQ Atlas in my bookmarks for years, never saw that!).
I still think there was an item in FM, but maybe I had bad info too. I remember at the time, I wanted it badly. I think it only had a few charges on it too.

Well, Droga is right off of FM (some slightly higher lvl gobbo's guarding the entrance), so that could be it. Not only that, but Allakhazam actually lists it as dropping in Frontier Mountains.

I remember camping for the Circlet of Shadows (post-nerf) & Essence of Dol (for my monk), but I think that was sometime in 2002 or 2003, so I never saw it drop myself.

Yea, that's probably the one - It said 'escape' so that threw me off ( thought was an evac type)

I still have one of those Locket of Escape's on a mule... it's not worth much now though with instant travel. Was great for binding outside of PoM, pre-revamp and easy access via greatdivide.

Had about 6 of them from camping the Chief back in the day. Sold for a ton

How i miss the old PoM , my monk was bound there until they moved all the bind ponts to GD =(
