Missing Item: Phosphorous Powder, from undead frogs in LGuk. Kind of important to track, considering they're for a race unlock.

Found the gap, and it's on the wiki side — with a one-edit fix. EQBuddy's "part of a quest, don't vendor it" tracking comes straight from the wiki's own Category:Quest Items (all ~4,000 members). Phosphorous Powder's page exists but carries only Items/Inventory Items/Classic Era — no Quest Items category — so EQBuddy has no way to know it matters.

The fix: add [[Category:Quest Items]] to that page (anyone with a wiki account can; it's one line at the bottom). EQBuddy's weekly knowledge refresh picks up wiki changes automatically — and I can run it by hand once the page is tagged, so the fix would reach the next update rather than waiting a week. If the powder has an actual quest page for the race unlock, linking it there helps the quest tracker too.

Thanks for flagging it with the stakes attached — "race unlock" is exactly the kind of item that must never get vendored to a merchant in a tidying spree.

Update — EQBuddy stopped waiting for the wiki edit and fixed it on its own side. Built, coming in the next update:

The Phosphorous Powder page turned out to have the answer on it all along: its stats block says QUEST ITEM — the editor just forgot the Category:Quest Items tag, and the category was the only thing EQBuddy's tracker read. Now the item page's own QUEST ITEM flag counts too: look the item up once (hover or click it anywhere in EQBuddy) and the 🗺 quest badge appears, category tag or no category tag.

That fixes every similarly miscategorized item, not just this one. The wiki edit is still worth making so the weekly harvest catches it for everyone without a lookup — one line, [[Category:Quest Items]] at the bottom of the page — but your race unlock no longer depends on it.

Now live in v1.53.2 — hover or click Phosphorous Powder once anywhere in EQBuddy and its 🗺 quest badge appears from the page's own QUEST ITEM flag, no category tag required. Same for anything else the wiki flagged but forgot to categorize. Your widget will offer the update on its own. Thanks for the report, wizen — it fixed a whole class of items, not just the one.
