Epics from easiest to hardest

[qinsteel]

I have 4 toons I play on P99, I am not a hard core player but enjoy the group banter and killing a few mobs to relax. I have a 45 Rogue, 53 Monk, 25 Shaman, and 25 Necro. I am saving all loot to buy my 45 rogue his epic since it is relatively cheap. My question is after reviewing the forum it seems I might as well forget ever getting my epic on the necro, what about the shaman and monk? How would you rate the epic availability for each class?

Lostprophets/Kobrakai got a monk epic at level 1. And so have many, many with rogues. They're both pretty easy. Can't speak about any other epics but the chanter epic can't be done until you're 46 because there are 2 nodrop non-MQ items that must be looted from the planes.

Rogue/Shaman/Monk are all MQable and easy. Shaman and Rogue run the same price about 25-30k, Monk is a bit more.

Rogue , Sham , Monk , Cleric , Paladin , Ranger , Druid , warrior , Bard , Sk, wizard , Mage , Necro.

This list is debatable on the finer points, but it's def a general outline

I am sure the level 1 monks all belong to a guild and have access to sky to get the monk no-drop pieces. I didn't realize that the monk and shaman epic was similar to the rogue as far as "difficult to obtain" or not difficult.

I appreciate the answers

Sham epic is really fun to do properly, but yeah, you can skip the meat of it with faction grinding and simply pay someone to beat up a kidnapped baby iksar then defile the memory of the dead iksars.

A++ quest, would do again.

Swap mage and bard. Also, no chanter.

If you're 45, you should just quest the rogue epic. It's an "easy" epic. Without contacts in a raid-capable guild, it gets much tougher. General is typically a 2-3 group fight unless you have a perfect group (60 War, 60 Shm, 2x 60 Clr, 2x 60 Rog). Renux is a duo fight between the rogue and a 55+ snare class (agro kite fight). Get ready for the General turn in and just look for raids in Kith from time to time. /who all Kith and checking it physically. Ask who's leading the raid, and offer them a roll on EoN (Edge of the Nightwalker) if it drops for killing your General for you. They probably will. That's how you get it done unguilded. GL!

Going easier top, go harder bottom:

Rogue
Shaman
Monk
Cleric
Paladin
Enchanter
---------
Ranger
Druid
Warrior
Shadowknight
Bard
Wizard
Magician
Necromancer

I put a split after Enchanter epic because all epics after that point require you kill an FTE rotated raid mob. Meaning you have to be in a guild to get the kills for these. The paladin one requires it, but Paladins can buy the book and not many Paladins exist so it isn't too bad.

Rogue, Shaman and Monk epics are extremely easy. Join a guild, get into your 50s on those characters and do the steps that don't require your guilds assistance:

Rogue - Pickpocket pages, turn into Stanos/Eldreth, grab Hate book during a Hate raid. Hire a Druid to help you kill Renux. Then you're ready for the final fight with General, which requires your guild's help. If you don't get a Quill drop, then look into buying the Robes.

Shaman - Repeat CoM pages over and over to max faction. Attend a Fear raid and get a Child's Tear. Then ask guild to help you do final fight in CoM

Monk - Get a few friends together (Cleric, Druid, Monk, Tank, Melee DPS X2). Do the Eejag fight, get a wizard to port you up to Sky for the Presence fight (bring 3,000 plat to pay for people's Key of Swords). Then do the Trunt fight after this. Gather another group from your guild and do Xenovorash fight.

If you haven't exhausted too many favors, call in friends to kill Brother Q/Z for Robe. If you have, do the camps for Raster/Targin and quest your robe. Level in KC at hands and hope to win roll on 1 pipe. Buy the Chardok pipe or create a group and kill in the Levitate tunnel for a few hours. Then do a named farming group in Skyfire, best to do this with an Enchanter needing Felia or camp Eldrig with a bard.

If you have a dedicated group of friends/guild mates, most of these steps can be done over a single weekend.

Necromancer epic you won't get unless you raid a ton or buy the pieces for 500k~. I'd suggest against buying your Rogue's epic on your main. It's easy enough to quest yourself as I mention above. Attend a Hate raid, Ask 1 Druid to help you kill Renux and be in a guild and get help to kill General.

I don't understand why you guys are giving so much weight to Magician epic. Is it because of the Staff of Elemental Earth from Inny? You do realize that that is much, much more common now that one guild isn't monopolizing 100% of the raid content, right?
