it's because they changed how the stat of raven claw is read/applied.
the stat has the value "30" in earlier patches, but the game does not interpret this as "level 30 exploding arrow". (the arrow uses level 1 EA damage values, which is a lousy 2-4.)
in 1.10 they changed the value to be read as "lvl x exploding arrow", but they also changed the value from 30 to 3.
but if a bow is converted to 1.10+, it will keep that value of 30, turning it into a level 30 EA.
basically, the bow only has awesome damage if it was converted from an older patch to a newer one.
in 1.00-1.06 Eye of Etlich has a random cold duration of 50 - 299 frames, so between 2 and (basically) 12 seconds.
in 1.14 it's 50-250 frames, so between 2 and 10 seconds.
there were a handful of uniques that got patched in 1.03, and a few in 1.04 as well, but you can't tell by the description because what they fixed was IAS and FRW.
Griswold's Edge for example had -10 IAS before it was fixed to be +10 IAS, but the description says "Slightly Increased Attack Speed" in both cases.
there were also a few corrections to item bases in 1.03 and 1.04, but those were not unique-specific. for example the base damage of a Maul was 1-1 before 1.03, which was fixed to be 30-40.
and for example a scythe was patched from 0 to 2 rangeadder.
Thanks for the information - as I wrote above, I know a person who has a prelod Raven Claw bow (last one on all realms?) and there is a really big difference.
Interesting to know that prelod Etlich could have an even longer timer; I remember looong time ago I tried a bowazon with multiple sources of cold to make the duration a bit longer (obviously it was not worth it) - and in order to do that I searched for a long freeze duration Etlich (and the duration still is like 1/ 5 in hell, or was it 1/10?).
I think someone had a 40% shako on one of the realms, but this is a LOD item, not classic.
I have this one (in LOD). I dont remember any more if they spawned in classic too?
