Epic Quests

[Jugthug42]

What about stuff like Ragefire spawning in Naggy's lair and what not, before he became spawnable.

Also wasnt Faydedar for the druid epic not triggerable at first, and you had to run into him as a world spawn?

[Aeolwind]

Yes, Cazic will be KOS to Irak.

How's that for an indication of difficulty?

If I recall correctly, which I may not, they weren't replaced, but a second, stand-in item to progress to epic 2.0 was added for those who had not completed epic 1.0, as many classes had not, and this was mainly to prevent a huge clusterfuck of classic competition simply to reach 2.0.

Was a side quest as prerequisite for epic 1.5 and could be easily accomplished within a few days.

Between Kunark and Velious release were merely 8 months and given the fact, that it took quite some time to finish some of the harder epics, at least for my class it wasn't worth the effort. Even in the early state of Vellious one could easily kill Vaniki for Willsapper with 3 groups, whereas farming Kunark dragons and doing Queen in Chardok was a pita in comparison.

Willsapper was the shit and made you look like a monk, but you still needed a good offhand and I think epic was the next best thing.

Big problem for mages was the staff off Inno. It had a less than 1% drop rate off of a mob that spawned once a week. So, that means, statistically, that there would be one drop every 2 years.

Yeah, there was a reason there were some changes to epics.

That reminds me, I never did finish mine...

Wizards(i think, never played one) needed a staff to drop from VS that was a PITA to get, and the flayed skin of cazic thule was just like the mage epic staff.

Bards are very tied to their epics, doesn't get replaced til instrument mods on armor, which weren't til like PoP I think? And even then, it was tough to get all the mods on individual pieces as opposed to the all-in-one epic.

Yep, you are right. It was 3 staffs, VS dropped staff almost everytime. Phinny dropped his staff like 1 in 10 and the flayed skin from CT was like 1 in 20 or 30 I think, plus CT got upgraded to 2.0, so very few people had epic. During velious they later added the CT part of the quest with a golem in fear that dropped the part you needed for epic.

But anyways, I think the hardest epics were mag or sk.
