Kunark (supposedly) coming out next month. Everyone is excited, some people are coming back, sick cool items will be on the server

Epic items will be released sometime in Kunark. Which ones will be bottlenecked to hell? Which one will be the easiest to do?

Personally, I think the rogue one would be pretty tough. Everyone is gonna get their hands on the book of souls. Some people just happen to pick it up for "fashion"

Rogue is the easiest by far. The book won't be any more bottlenecked than the other epics, and rogue mains have been uncommon because the class is garbage pre-Kunark so there's not a million 50 rogues entering Kunark upon launch. It spawns every ten hours so potentially like 16ish per week, and it won't take very long before everyone who's seriously playing a rogue will have theirs.

id say rog is easiest , paladin because no one playing paladins

ranger hate item will be pretty high demand

wizard almost impossible

mage very hard expect a line

Reasonably easy

war
ench
shm

reasonably hard
clr
shd ( only because you have to wait in line for sword, but pointless class on pve )

pointless
druid ( stupid class )

Feel like every class who needs an item off Venril Sathir
would have a REALLY hard time within the first year of epics being released

Also druids are cool man.

Shaman and rogue are the easiest.

Somebody seems to think Warrior is one of the easier epics? You'll have a looong wait for your Green Scale and your Hand...

Also, shadowknights are a great utility class, the pulling tank. Pre-Kunark they're probably the best tanks overall, though warrior discs crush Shadowknights very quickly in Kunark.

Easy:

Rogue, no bottlenecks per se. Cleric, limited bottlenecking mostly just RF which on green probably ends up rotated or listed like the OOT AC. Both of these classes also have the highest motivation for raid guilds to put epics in as many hands as possible.

Monk is also quite easy and will be very common. Paladin, most of them have it now.

Medium:

Ranger/Druid/Wiz (hate/fear sucks initially, needing VS and/or Fae sucks initially), after the changes none of these are THAT bad, but still competitive in some ways. Ranger hate stone for the main hand sword can be pretty rough.

Shaman, the quest isn't bad but getting the tear itself is quite competitive.

Hard:

SK/ench/necro. More than one significant bottleneck which can be highly frustratingly rare in drop rates. Ench requires brutal and competitive socking of long window mobs.

Nightmare:

Bard/War/Mag. White and green scales have two sources in the game which are rare drops, don't always drop, and are on seven day mobs which are killed in seconds of spawning. In the case of green scales, one mob is in VP which many people won't even get to see.

Magician earth staff is notoriously the most brutal bottleneck and annoying drop rate of epic items on blue, is highly competitive, is farmed by RMT/plat farmers obsessively, and has a general asking price of one million.

Good luck, have fun.

Can likely move the medium tier up a level at the beginning due to lack of hate/fear revamps. Unsure how that will affect mag staff availability also. Otherwise, that post is how it is on blue.

The harsh reality is that getting an epic in green's meta will be insanely difficult for everyone who isn't a rogue or cleric, and for clerics will still require some waiting and window socking though it will be more readily attainable than for other classes.

Mage easiest.

Every mage on the server thats over 46 has 90% of their epic complete.

Wizard hardest. Uncommon Gnarled Staff+Cazic Skin (pre golem) is a complete cockblock.

who cares if its 90% complete, you still need an earth staff

Bard might be the hardest as there is no triggered trak on Kunark release and the Undead dragon guts are rare ANd you still need red and white scales....

...however, on blue there was a big rogue MQ bottleneck. If you can't equip the rogue epic until 46 that should be a lot easier.
