Blood of Velious is on Lyth Spellstar:

That's one that's forever getting reported as there, then reported as not there, then reported as there, then reported as not there. Can anyone verify that Lyth Spellstar has recently been found with this in unlimited supply?

Ok, I personally went to confirm these 3 merchants today and what they sell *in unlimited supply* are identical.

The merchants are:
Ak'Anon - A Clockwork Merchant (Magician Supplies)
East Commonlands - Lyth Spellstar
South Qeynos - Hanlore Escaval

The tradeskill related items are:
A Piece of Parchment
A Quill
The Scent of Marr
Blood of Velious
Breath of Solusek
Water of Povar
Broken Block of Ore
Elemental Grimoire
On Languages
Malagil's Compendium Vol. 1
Malagil's Compendium Vol. 2
Telryd's Writ
Telryd's Expansive Writ
Wolf's Eye Agate
Peridot

Water of Povar and Broken Block of Ore have tradeskill tags:

Water of Povar

WT: 0.4 Size: SMALL

Broken Block of Ore
This item can be used in tradeskills

Back in the per-kunark days, there are two sets of Mage Research merchants. One set with more items (including Scent of Marr, Blood of Velious, Breath of Solusek), one set without these three items. I'll call them "Heavy Research" and "Research Lite" here for convenience sake.

The 3 merchants mentioned above have been confirmed to be "Heavy Research" merchants.

The remaining ones in the database are:
South Felwithe - Merchant Jewyln
Tox Forest - Tran Lilspin
Erudin Palace - Harban Ranflash
Neriak Commons - Genzal R`Jyen
West Freeport - Mekoma Buma

I just checked South Felwithe. Merchant Jewyln is "Research Lite", i.e. also sells Broken Block of Ore but NONE of Scent of Marr, Blood of Velious, Breath of Solusek, Water of Povar, On Languages. (Rest of her entries in the database are correct.)

In time, I hope to check the other 4 merchants. Or hopefully someone could help too.

I am not sure how evil mages research in the pre-kunark days. But surely, they must have access to a "Heavy Research" merchant as well.

Thanks for checking again so thoroughly! Updated the top three merchants. Water of Povar and Broken Block of Ore have no known use and may be just quest items, so they're not in the database. Which means I think no updates are needed from your second post.

Feel free to repost when you find more we need to update.
