Default Shaman Epic Skippable parts?

I did my epic on line in like 2000, and I'm trying to understand what I can and cannot skip, Can anyone explain what is skippable?, by raising faction?

I'm Hoping I can skip that stupid Iskar Tear


Thanks Buku

The iksar tear is the last turning, its the only one you cannot skip, unless its possible for you to raise your faction via any of the other quests over and over and then have somebody MQ you the tear to the mob and you loot what he drops.

You can potentially skip any of the steps past the first one, just depending how many times you want (read: need) to do the other ones. Im pretty sure the most popular methods are doing Black Dire or the Rathe Mountains or CoM report parts 10-15 times or however many you need, I wouldn't know. That way you are able to skip most of the CoM parts and also the hole.

You cannot skip the Iksar Tear, unless the above method is what you would consider skipping.

EDIT: Im assuming you need max faction to not only hand in the tear but also hand in the drop off Rak'Ashiir to get your epic.

As mentioned above, you can skip most of it since the quest line primarily
serves the purpose of raising TrueSpirit faction.

As far as I know, you MUST have MAXIMUM (read: you turn quests in until you
receive the message "Your faction standing with TrueSpirit could not
possibly get any better
.") faction to hand in the scale from Rak'Ashiir
to get the Spear as a reward. Note that Ally apparently does not yet exist
until Velious and Warmly is the highest con you will see.

My recommendation having done this:
1. Kill Black Dire in MM and get his pelt for the self-only, inventory-
castable SOW Black Fur Boots.
2. Spend several levels in COM and just keep looting and repeating the
pages. I would recommend the stables since you can get all pages here,
including Student's Log which only drops from the Courier.
3. Participate in Fear raids; each of the golems have a chance to spawn the
Iksar Broodling and I believe the Broodling always drops one Child's Tear.
4. Once you have the tear and maximum faction, gather some friends for a
few hours of pulling Black Reavers until you get Rak'Ashiir. He's pretty
chump - fight for 12 of us of varying levels from 50-60 took 58 seconds.

A chance? Didn't they always spawn on the death of a golem?

They don't here. Some shaman are 15+ golems without an iksar child pop.

Can someone tell me what faction you need to turn in the black dire pelt. My faction currently is at amiably. Would I get the black fur boots if I turn it in?

Yes.

I did the entire quest line up to the Black Dire. Turned the pelt in with amiable faction, and received the boots.

I then skipped everything else and only did the CoM pages. It took 8 turn in's to completely max my True Spirit faction.

Ugh. So I've gotten the 6 reports from City of Mist, and was able to get the booklet from the Spirit Sentinel in EJ. I hit combine, handed in my Completed Report, and got:

Quote:
Spirit Sentinel says, 'This is a sad day. You have failed and strayed from the path set before you. Please try to live as close to the spirits as you are able, though this is the closest you will ever get.'
What did I do wrong? Is it possible my faction was high enough to get the booklet, but not to do the turn-in? I'm two or three turn-ins into amiable (repeated step 1 several times, then did the Woe/Envy/Marr's Promise turn-in).

I farmed my faction up to kindly, and successfully turned in the completed booklet yesterday! So it is possible to skip the black dire step, if anyone was wondering. That brought me up to warmly.
