I logged on my mule to annoy people by saying "Verina Tomb is casting a spell" only to see her sitting there and no one watching.
You're welcome, I guess.

Thought about hatting over and trying to solo her quick, but meh. (Also I don't have a charged reaper, a soulfire, or a fully-charged wand of allure on me, either)

Still not engaged. But there's been an already-epic chanter from Tempest (Nolucky) running around looking like he wants to kill her, and a Tempest shaman just came in also.

I started and finished the magician epic for my mage Akmenhotep because the Verina camp scared me off from trying for the enc epic for my enc Kashi

I wish I had seen this last night, but thanks for posting this, Tecmos! Very cool of you to do, and also lets us know her ToD which often goes unreported.

The reality of this statement, 8 years(?) after Kunark opening, saddens me =(

Verina is really only doable by specific types of players. You have to have access to an on-demand friend/farm crew that will login to help you (batphone style). Not that I didn't have friends when i played, but I was never ever part of permanent farm crews/daily groups.
The mage epic was actually easier for me because I was able to purchase the earth stone MQ with DKP.
Even if I camped Verina, I would have had no one valuable to batphone for help.

But an enchanter can solo her...

She's soloable as a 60 enchanter. I've soloed her. You just have extra side quests to do to complete your epic. Like acquiring a reaper of the dead, soulfire (you will do this quest a bunch of times if you keep playing your enchanter in the end game), wand of allure, maybe some wort pots, maybe some pet gear and decent gear for yourself. It goes without saying, you need to know how to solo... These are things you will want to do anyway as a 60 enchanter. You may fail a couple times too (if you have reaper, soulfire, wand of allure or puppet strings and maybe some wort pots, you should wreck her face if you don't freak out and get too nervous)...
As far as I remember, with 170mr you resist all of her spells except she has a 5% chance to land root no matter what and she doesn't social agroe any other NPC in the zone. You can pull her around whole zone with only a small risk of being rooted, which shouldn't be fatal if it happens. The cultural smithing merchant in the back of the zone is the most powerful pet available but with a soulfire instead of just a reaper, you can probably take her down with a guard np and that's probably a less risky approach...

All of this is accurate except for the guard part. Guards get eaten alive now.. im guessing before my time they were stronger.
the merchant is the only way solo her.
In addition to this, you will want to fight her at the ZL ramp to help with the PUSH to help against interrupting her CH. You can also Rapture her CH to stop as well.
You will also want to mana sieve/Theft of thought her.. in addition to blanketing her so that if your pet breaks, it re-gains aggro right away after the re-charm

I've kited her for over an hour before waiting for backup. That is always an option if you do not want to try your hand at competent soloing.

That can be risky too..depending on the GM, someone could potentially take her and kill her without punishment.

im not sure if its a merchant but theres that wandering blue con to a level 60 (not the rogue GM's) which is pretty much the top notch pet you can get. The rogue GM's are also blue-con but 100% MR so uncharmable (found this out the hard way).

There is a single level 50 charmable merchant in zone. That’s the mob everyone charms to get her solo.

I came to terms with never getting the epic a long time ago.

I sat by my computer for 17 hours near the end of her window, knowing that she would spawn soon. Most of the time, no one else was in zone. I had a level 1 log her last ToD, and based on the lack of others camping her, it seemed like no one else knew her window. I was sure that when she would spawn, I would have a few minutes to prepare and engage her before anyone else even showed up in zone.
Then we got an EQ. I tensed up. I started shaking. Within 2 minutes there were 6 more enchanters in the zone. I was able to get Draan before anyone else, but my nerves got the best of me. I forgot to get a junk buff on Draan to prevent charm from being dispelled. Within 20 seconds of my pet engaging, VT cast dispell, charm broke, I froze and didn't even try recasting Rapture on her or click my Wand of Allure to recharm Draan, while they beat me to death. It was humiliating to have six other enchanters watch me botch that fight so badly.

the camp really isnt that bad if you are willing to do something else around your house during your free time and have gina or a log reader to notify you.

Shit when I regeared my chanter and tried to finish epic I just parked a character in the room and checked here and there. Literally had no one else watching for her. Found her up one day and called in my sham bro and killed her. There’s times where she camped and times not at all.

Maybe the CSR has gotten unethical and bias since the last time I did it a few years ago but seems unlikely. No FTE message so you should be able to do whatever you want with a mob you tagged before anyone else.
