=== Tumerok War Spear ===
During [[The Changing of the Ways]] event, a new interaction was added to the [[Exploration Society Letters]] quest. After turning in a stamped letter, players would receive the [[Exploration Society Token]]. The NPCs would direct you to bring this token to Bach Lien, in the Explorer Society Outpost on the road between Rithwic and Dryreach. Unfortunately, no such NPC or outpost existed. Turbine confirmed this was a bug:

This was later reiterated in the [[Announcements - 2002/01 - Flesh and Blood#State of the Code|Flesh and Blood State of the Code]]:

 | Question = I have heard some reference to a mysterious Bach Lien. However, I can find no such person anywhere in the game. Does she really exist?
 | Text = Although she is mentioned as an extension to the Exploration Society Letters quests, the search for Bach Lien is a bug, as she does not appear in the game. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Perhaps some time in the future the complete iteration of her tale will reach the loremasters of Dereth but for now she remains a mystery.

This quest may have been the inspiration for the [[Tumerok Banners Quest]] or the [[Aun Tanua's War Taiaha Quest]].
