Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

I can only remember this ever being a drop from Dun Garok Riflemen, and farmed it numerous times for alts.

But when I tried no luck, checked aowow and it said it was a world drop. But every comment in aowow presumes it to be dropped by the Dun Garok riflemen...

Wowwiki, thottbot, aowow (comments), my memory all indicate this shouldn't be a world drop (which is tough titty for alliance...).

But was there a time in vanilla (out side of my experience) when it *was* a world drop?

Or is this just broke private vanilla servers borrowing each others incorrect data and perpetuating an unblizzlike loot table...?

well, khadgars whiskers dropped from level 13 mechanical mobs at 100% for the first month. so yes, it is servers copying each others broken loot tables.
