Game Forum / Role Playing Games / EverQuest / June 2003Epic Levels
This stems from a guild discussion. What is the lowest level you know of for a character to have completed their Epic. It would be extremely funny to have a low level running around with one. I saw another post here many months back about the newbie quests and set out to try and match the feat. I managed to finish off the Felwithe newbie Cleric quest without the alt actually ever killing anything. The only experience the alt got was on the turn ins for the weapon and the starting note. I know this wouldn't be possible for an Epic, but would like to see a discussion from people who have been there to see their opinions on the minimum possible level to obtain one. > This stems from a guild discussion.

Even though you can get the spell to summon the orb at 46 (think it works that way instead of the epic piece being a permanent item), you can't use the orb to summon the epic pet until 51. Until then, the epic Orb of Mastery is just an item with nice stats. That's what I've gathered from reading. I've run into a couple of epic mages but didn't grill them about their experiences. I've heard of level 29 pallies running around with their epics. Clerics can have their epics at level 1, but can't right-click rez until level 50. The Magician epic is a level 46 spell, which obviously does a level 1 no good. Most epics have been outdated by other spells / weapons anyway. Right now my level 44 paladin is running around with not one but two weapons that have better DPS than the pally epic. So while it might be the ultimate twink statement to be running around with your epic, in most cases the effort is not worth the reward. About the only exception is the cleric epic, which is still an essential item for any high-end cleric.

Then you heard wrong. The final turn in to get the Firey Defender takes place in Plane of Fear. Even if you multiquested all the other steps, nobody under level 46 would be able to zone in to complete it.

I seem to recall hearing that at one time, any level character could zone into the planes, the level restriction was introduced later one. I don't know the timing of that vs adding the epic weapons however.

The cleric epic IS the most useful epic, IMO, but there are others that are still very useful. The bard epic in particular is still extremely useful; although there are now other non-instrument items with instrument mods, the epic is still a very useful weapon since it adds power to any song, no matter what that song's instrument mod is. All the items ith instrumental mods on them are from upper Planes, anyway, and as such, many bards will never see them. Also, people tend to forget that in most cases, the stats on the epics are very good. There are only a couple of cases I can think of where the effort is no longer worthwhile for the epic, because either the effort is insane vs. the payoff (mage) or items with better stats and effects are available readily now (necro, SK, etc.) -- Harry Baer IV Nickanj Aj`Dinso High Elven Archon of 65 Flavors "Archon?

What WAS the lowest is no longer possible. Epics have been nerfed such that the final turn ins can't be done until either 50 or 51 now (don't recall which). They'll eat your stuff if you try and do it too soon. Some of the interim turn ins seem to have level floors on them too. Thing that erks me about this is that they quests still don't say anything about level limits, so the notion of eating your turn ins seems a bit harsh. > > This stems from a guild discussion.

Must be class dependent then - Bards have been getting theirs eaten based on being too low. There are recently been reports of prelimary turn ins being eaten too if seemingly too young (a 35 had the guts go poof). GM's have indicated to the petitioners that they are too low. In most (but not all) cases, they have returned the poofed items due to the quest not saying anything about the restriction. There are multiple threads on this at www.eqdiva.com. I've heard rumors of similar issues with the cleric epic, but I have yet to see that substantiated by anyone I trust.

Well, it's not an epic, but my level 10 paladin is a lil' faction work away from Soulfire. And she is wearing Kromrif military leggings.
