Wizard epic

[TarukShmaruk]

Gnarled staff wasn't a 100% drop rate on live post-Velious.

When I did my epic in the Luclin days he died several times without it. Sometimes he had different staves - although I forget which they were.

Funny story about the broken golem - they patched something that changed the faction in PoFear which resulted in the golem being instagibbed as soon as he spawned.

I was bound inside of fear and would gate in and Eye of Zomm every day for over a month. I petitioned several times and the word finally got out that it was a bug introduced by a patch.

I asked a GM - since this was a known issue - if there was any way he could just spawn the golem for me. He said "a month is long enough" and handed me the golem oil and ported me to the turn-in guy. Then he ported me to Sol Ro to finish my epic.

This was on Rallos Zek

It was one of the easiest epics on Live after Velious came out and they nerfed the PoF and VS steps. Couple of hours of walkwork, three fights, and you're done. No special effort required, just a few groups of high 50s.

During the Kunark era it was ridiculous. My guy was wielding a Blue Crystal Staff for a long long time. VS and CT are bottlenecks here because everyone can kill them, but they were bottlenecks on my server because they were very, very difficult to kill.

There aren't really many "initial steps" though, one way or the other. It's not like a lot of other epics where you can pay attention while you're leveling up and get a lot of things done that would require effort and backtracking later. Best thing you can do to get a leg up on the process is find some friends in your 50s and ace Phin. The BCS is a fine 1h, anyway.

I was told triggerable VS only drops ranger/druid epic drops. Does it also work for wizard staff?

Gotta kill the regular VS spawn for gnarled staff, but around the time VSremains is added, regular VS is changed to a 3 day spawn.

Should have been 2hb for most of the server's life, along with gnarled staff. Was changed to 1hb a few weeks before Velious released.

It is as if different developers worked on different quests and never communicated properly to each other to ensure they are all on a relatively equal footing in terms of difficulty to acquire.

That might give you pause to reconsider going for the Epic lol. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.][You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
