A later Vanilla patch changed Dungeon itemization so maybe that's what you remember? Also, that's planned for Phase 5 iirc.so charged gear rings from last boss in gnomer were lvl 29 in vanilla. Just went to farm them for my 29 hunter... they are lvl 32. I submitted a ticket, but we need everyone to complain to get this fixed. Please submit a suggestion to wow in gams at least!

- Dungeon loot reconfiguration: Tier 0.5 Dungeon gear, Relics, drop rates and location changes
The above is from PC Gamer. What my point is, even within an XPac (including the original game) things change throughout it's run. It's entirely possible that the OP is remembering the item being LvL 29 AFTER the Dungeon loot reconfiguration.
- Naxxramas
- Scourge Invasion
