When I did my epic in the Luclin days he died several times without it. Sometimes he had different staves - although I forget which they were.

Funny story about the broken golem - they patched something that changed the faction in PoFear which resulted in the golem being instagibbed as soon as he spawned.

I was bound inside of fear and would gate in and Eye of Zomm every day for over a month. I petitioned several times and the word finally got out that it was a bug introduced by a patch.

I asked a GM - since this was a known issue - if there was any way he could just spawn the golem for me. He said "a month is long enough" and handed me the golem oil and ported me to the turn-in guy. Then he ported me to Sol Ro to finish my epic.

This was on Rallos Zek

I dare say the wizard epic is one of the easiest too...

Just 3 mobs to kill, 2 of which drop every time..and Phinny is fast respawn and super easy with <1 group if you know your tactics.

Wizard, rogue, monk, shaman = easiest epics (not in any order)

Unless I missed something, Venril Sathir does NOT drop the Staff every time. It's common (in the neighborhood of 3 Staves per 4 kills) but you are NOT guaranteed to get it.

VS is one of the FEW mobs that is on a strict Rotation on my Server. Every 2 or 3 months, your turn comes up and you kill him.

Hmm, I've never been to a VS raid where he didn't drop the stick...I guess I must be lucky for wizards :/

It may not be 100% but it should be pretty damn close. In all the times I killed him on Mac server, I never got a kill where he didn't drop the wizard epic staff (10-15+).

Way better than its current 20% for sure.
