Well, the Shaman epic isn't that easy if you do it properly. It's still on the easier side of epics overall, but the failure of Verant to think through the ramifications of basing it entirely on faction is what's made it so incredibly easy here.

If we are going to bitch about epics. Check out www.enchanterepichorror.org Donate if you can.

Not the quest, the item. It sucketh. Some in the community wanted a cc effect. No. Epic gets solved and... a melee buff that, for those who already had a VoG ready to mem, found pretty unfunny. When you are slogging through lvl 59 instead of working the quest you realize, I have not wasted any time. I will always have that.

What should have been the epic only came later, but now too late to be really significant.

That's the epic. Check my magelo. Vindication. Fuck yer shissar. A crime. Isn't that right?

Mage epic in particular is kinda unfairly stacked but that's the glory of classic EQ; like life, shit ain't balanced and that aids to the prestige and badassery of the mage epic. Also one of the more powerful epics, esp during kunark

I could cast a mana-less VoG, let's be real. The stats of course are nice, that's not the point.

Shaman epic 1.0 at least increased soloability, right? That's not a wash.

True. I honestly wonder how many shamans have actually done the whole quest, like that dude you have to kill in the hole. Probably zero have done it on p99.

I did it on live [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] But yeah, when I made Loramin 2.0 here I did it the easy way (although still not the easiest way: I didn't know about the rez trick).

For Shamwowi I did parts 1-7 and the final part. This includes doing part 4, the test of patience. That was an interesting experience. I skipped 8 and 9, which was the hole portion you are referring to.

These are all the possible PH's and percentages according to the wiki:

Cycle Spawn %

an elephant - 9
a lion - 16
a lioness - 12
a mist wolf - 3
a shadow wolf - 6
centaur archer - 2
centaur courser - 1
centaur sheltie - 3
aviak avocet - 2
aviak darter - 1
aviak harrier - 1
aviak rook - 1
an escaped Splitpaw gnoll - 12
a cyclops - 1
Quillmane - 7

At least three of these are killed by players. There is also another post saying that Treant and Centaur Chargers can also be a PH. I see lots of druids killing avocets across the zone. So yes, I would beleive if you followed the strategy to get QM to spawn it would be considered zone disruption.

SECOND STEP - find the PH

My method was to spend up to ten minutes trawling the zone for all of the mobs that might be the PH. From other threads and my brief experience, I believe they include:

an escaped splitpaw gnoll
a treant
a mist wolf
a shadow wolf
a lion
a lioness
an elephant
an aviak egret
an aviak avocet
a centaur sheltie
a centaur charger
a cyclops
an aviak harrier

Gather them in your wake, like a toddler's ride-on-train, until you have a good 15-20 mobs. I actually ignored treants in my first big pull, hoping to avoid faction hits.

If gathering up 20 of these mobs is not zone disruption I don't know what is

on the TAKP database source these are the spawn chances:

a lion - 23% chance
Quillmane - 18% chance
a lioness - 14% chance
an escaped Splitpaw gnoll - 13% chance
an elephant - 10% chance
a mist wolf - 8% chance
aviak egret - 3% chance
centaur sheltie 3% chance
a shadow wolf - 3% chance
centaur charger - 2% chance
aviak harrier - 1% chance
centaur foal - 1% chance
a cyclops - 1% chance

The Pegasus Feather Cloak drop rate is 25%

How accurate is the TAKP database source? Isn't it out of era? Or I guess probably not for something like this since I can't imagine the Quillmane PH spawn %s changed much post-Velious (or at least not right in Luclin)
