Getting from the start to the Symbol after the Lake Rathetear fight isn't too hard. In fact you can skip it all if you instead just kill Kazen rather than running around collecting herbs, heads and robes. But Kazen requires at least a group of 60s.
The hard part of the necro epic are the last 3 pieces:
1. Cloak from Sky - Keeper of Souls drops it rarely, we see maybe 1 every 3 months.
2. Eye from Innoruuk - Inny is very contested. You need to be in an active raiding guild to acquire one (it isn't that rare from Inny). Or buy one for 100-150k I would think.
3. Slime Blood from CT - CT is also very contested. You need to be in an active raiding guild to acquire one... It is EXTREMELY rare from CT.
If you join a Class C guild (Rampage/TMO) you would be behind a few mains and alts in the list to get one. You'd have to prove your worth by putting in the time to be awarded one.
If you join a Class R guild who kills CT (BDA/Taken/Indignation/AG/Europa/Omni), the reality of the situation is you will not see one awarded to you before Velious releases and the planes are revamped. There are far more senior and tenured necromancers in every one of those guilds awaiting the Slime Blood.
For reference Taken has seen 4-5 Inny Eyes and 0 Slime Bloods in about 10-20 kills of each. Necromancer is the only epic we don't have one of currently.
As for its use. Great stat item until Zlandicar Heart is an option in Velious. The clicks is useful in that it's a mana free DoT. A lot more useful for something like Root/Rotting once snare/afoot stack.
If you're not a hardcore raider you probably won't ever get the necro epic. *Maybe* once Slime Blood moves to golems. Even then you'd have to have a group ready to kill golems who spawn every 3 days and you'd still need to raid PoSky regularly to get the cloak.
