But honestly, I'd recommend not joining a big guild, and going for a smaller one instead. For instance, on Green when a quake happens the big guilds go after the big targets like Sleeper's, TOV, or KT ... but smaller guilds like Castle do Hate. You can get a Magi in a big guild: I'm in Kingdom and we got one last week ... after I spent over a week tracking (I work from home, so that means sitting with EQ open, and clicking the track button every 10 seconds or so all day long, every 3 days after a quake and roughly 3 days after that) ... and then after we barely beat another guild racing for it. But every quake it seems Castle races up there, and gets any Magis that spawn all to themselves. Since the staff is doing a lot more quakes these days, I truly think they (or a similar guild of their size, ie. big enough to raid hate whenever a quake happens, but not big enough to compete with the Seal Teams and Kingdoms) is best for a mage wanting an epic.

I mostly enjoyed my time in a big guild, Black Lotus. But some of the crap I heard coming out of other big guilds... yikes.
You can also think about it like this: Option A: Spend 1 year on someone else's schedule, responding to batphones, long stretches of time raiding... hoping the politics work out and the guild doesn't disband (making your DKP useless) so that you might one day get it Option B: Spend 1 year on your own schedule, camping what you want to camp, slowly building up plat to buy it You'd be amazed what you can do slowly over a period of time. I achieved the fastest 1-50 in P99 history with that approach. See here: https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...d.php?t=374910

The mage staff is neckbearded hard, but perhaps you can befriend the farm crew, I am sure they are reasonable people

These ppl are all lying to you. You will not start a mage and finish your epic on either p99 server unless you are very very sweaty. If finishing an epic is important to you then go play on takp or play a different class.

I'm guessing you haven't played in awhile also? If so, things aren't the same as they were in the old Blue days. Of course, the Mage epic remains a major challenge, but the abundance of quakes makes it a lot less difficult than it used to be. Like I said, on Green Castle is going up to Hate every quake (I see them up there). Quick math: if quakes keep happening (as they have been) almost weekly, and let's say a Magi appears in 3/4 quakes, and drops an earth staff 1/3 times ... that adds up to Castle getting approximately one staff a month. Now, you still have to be a Castle member, be on when it quakes (but again, lately that's been easy with all these weekend quakes), and you have to win the staff (I dunno if they handle it with DKP or loot council or what). And that's still only one Castle mage per month (plus however many mages who get non-quake-staves). I don't know what your definition of "very very sweaty" is, but joining Castle (not even a top guild on the server), going on some raids to earn DKP, and then playing on weekends to catch quakes, doesn't sound all that sweaty to me ... and yet it's getting Castle (something like) one epic mage per month. P.S. I suppose quakes aren't guaranteed to keep happening like this, but even if they halve the number of quakes, that's still one every other month ... that's not too sweaty [You must be logged in to view images.
