Enchanter Epic Questions

[Defo]

Hey all,

I returned to P99 a few weeks ago, and after TunnelQuesting for a bit and then gearing up an Enchanter: I have really fallen in love with the class.

My question is this:
Are there parts of the Enchanter Epic that can be MQd? I have always wanted a snake stick, since I was a kid... But from my memory of P99 a few years ago, the Vessel Droszlin (sp?) was a serious bottleneck because it's a very long window and highly contested. And now that I am in my 40s with a full-time job, a handful of kids and much more limited playtime: there's no way I can camp something like Vessel Droszlin.

So, given enough platinum and a willing seller: how much of the epic can be MQd? How much needs to be looted outright? If my memory serves correctly the Enchanter epic is one of the most involved epics that includes lots of steps. (Warrior, Mage, Druid epics seem to also require lots of steps)

Thanks!

You cannot MQ any part of the enchanter epic.

I read a little more after I posted this, specifically about VD and I actually walk back my statement of always wanting a snake stick. Parts of the enchanter epic don't seem doable unless you've got a guild and lots of time on your hands. Of which I have neither.

You can buy loot rights to items and just have the guy message you in discord when he gets FTE. Just have to have enough time to log on for a few minutes to loot.

Not that familiar with the entire epic quest as I've never done the enchanter epic but I do know that Vessel Drozlin loot rights are commonly sold and I believe wraith of shissar I've also seen for sale occasionally. AFAIK those are the toughest pieces to get as a solo individual or atleast the only ones I recall ever seeing enchanters ask for help on.

As has been stated nothing can be MQ'd for the enchanter epic. But honestly I don't think you should give up. For Vessel Drozlin I believe there's a discord community you can join where you roll for the loot rights and the more times you have been there and not won the more rolls you get (don't quote me on that one, don't know the exact details). Verina Tomb sometimes sits up as her window was reduced which really helps.

For the PoFear (wraith of the shissir) and the PoHate (Essence of a Vampire) bits it's certainly easier if you are in a guild that sometimes venture into these zones. Especially the PoHate bit would be good - many, many guilds will do Hate and the corpse timers are short on the Forsaken Revenants so buying loot-rights from another guild might be tricky.

The rest is mostly doable either solo, duo or a single group

Thanks for the tips all!

I’d give up if I were you, as I did in 2014. People prefer VoG anyway. You’d be better off focusing that time / effort into getting a zheart thats tradeable and way more impactful for the classes that can use it.

I definitely value VoG over SoS, but isn't SoS better for tanks? Or is that a misconception? To be honest: my primary motivation for achieving the enchanter epic would be a 25 year old dream of a 15 year old boy who thought that the snake stick was the coolest thing ever, back when I used to see the (very few) enchanters who had it on my Live server.

Also, I'm still only level 27, so there's a long time to go. I have just returned as of a few weeks ago, but my gut tells me to avoid raiding guilds this go around.
