What chance does a non-competitive player have on this server?

Scout roll is definitely one of my favorite things, I wish there was more content in the game that operated that way. It forces people from all different guilds who might normally be rivals to work together, and anyone 55+ can participate, and the bracers and talisman are quite nice for the work involved.

Does anyone ever take the robe? I'm not a caster I don't even know if it's good, usually seems to be mostly melee and priests who show up though.

The robe is garbage, taking it is a dick move.

Robe of Benevolence is decent for Enchanters. It saves you 10-20k (depending on server) because you can get Robe of Benevolence instead of Ice Silk Robe. Their stats are similar.

But it is the weakest of the three pieces for sure. The Bracer and Talisman are much better.

Even wizards can invite people to groups.

its a pretty good robe for the level that its attainable

You really shouldn't put too much stock in epics. Yes many people have them, and that's usually cause they are playing a class with an easy epic. Most wizards don't have the wizard epic. Meanwhile, seemingly every fuckin lvl 46+ shaman has that stupid spear. It's almost an anti-epic to me; I find it more interesting when I see a shaman who *doesn't* have it.

There are so many ways to enjoy the game, and it literally *can't* be won, so don't lose sleep over not winning. You can't. It's called everquest for a reason

Apparently you can bypass a lot of the tedious part of the wizard epic by farming shaman epic faction.

It certainly works up to getting the broken golem’s sprocket as I’ve farmed a bunch of them to help my guild out. Most guilds will be happy to do a broken golem after doing the triplet golems.

If you’re on green there is at least one active social club for helping each other out with phinny. That just leaves VS.

If you really want any epic rogue/monk are easy (monk is pretty fun too!). Shaman is mostly gaming the faction system which is /yawn.

My shaman doesn't have it, is he special in any way?

but yeah, I know one can't fully win the game, it would just be nice to experience some sort of victory in it one day, that's all. One thing, anything, that will help me feel like somebody.

I would prefer to do it the proper way, step by step as written on the wiki. When you try to do some weird off-road stuff things seem to slip through the cracks, so I'd rather just do it the legit way.

But yeah the wizard epic doesn't seem impossible. Not as easy as rogue or cleric, but not as hopeless as mage or bard either. I still really want it one day.

Yes, yes he is.

I commend you for not being yet another lvl 46 epic'ed shaman named Doinkus Itchybutt or whatever
