Do a ctrl+f for "epic".
I understand this isn't during the classic timeline, and isn't talking about a class that's active during our timeline, but there isn't a lot of evidence about what level epics were doable at (If you find some, please post it up. Otherwise, I know the flaws of my post, no need to reiterate them, this isn't RnF)
But the February 10, 2004 notes state that:

- The beastlord epic weapon will no longer "proc" for wielders below the 46th level.

To which we can conclude that the epic was wieldable at levels lower than 46.
It also states on March 23, 2004 that:

-You will now need to be of at least the 50th level to complete the beastlord epic.

And one can draw an assumption that other class epics required the 50th level to complete as well.
I remember doing the Rogue epic quest on live and multi-questing it to others, but I can not remember specifically the level of the recipients.
I do remember that the Rogue epic was especially great because it was a worn effect that worked at low levels where as the other epics with clickables wouldn't work until higher levels.
This is all to be taken with a grain of salt, and to imply that if any change is made, it should be that the epic turn ins should require a level of 50, rather than an undeniably unclassic change such as a required level to wield; at least until further research can be done.
