Game Mechanics: Should not be able to complete epics before 45

So, I was able to do every turn-in for the monk epic on live with the exception of the final turn-in. We know this turn-in is possible on EQMac, so this invalidates the data that I previously provided on the rogue epic.

There's a lot of previous posts on class forums about being able to acquire epics on live at any level (read one of my earlier posts on this thread).

I've read about a blanket patch for epic minimum levels. Unfortunately, there really isn't any agreement on when this happened. Some people claimed it was when they changed it so you could no longer do the BST epic at level 1. I've seen some claims of 2003. I've also seen claims of people completing epics at low levels all the way until 2012. Most of the posts I've read indicated this cap would have been in the 2003-2006 range.

What we do know is that many epics can be done at any level on EQMac (2002). There is tons of evidence that suggests that shaman, monk, and cleric epics can be done at any level. Those epics are 3 of the 4 epic's that are sold to low levels on this server. The other epic is rogue which doesn't have a ton of supporting evidence either way.

In my opinion (if you care), I would think that none of the epics have a minimum level in Kunark. It makes no sense for them to launch a handful of epic quests in Kunark with a minimum level while the others do not have said minimum level. Furthermore, the BST epic was originally doable at level 1 even during PoP (should be lots of evidence for this - heres one http://www.erollisimarr.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=12831). Why they would have had no minimum level for an epic quest released later down the road makes no sense unless none of the quests had a minimum initially.

The correct course of action would be to try to do the rogue epic on EQMac and see from there. Unfortunately, I don't have the means to do this.

TLDR = I think the minimum level on epics wasn't a thing for the duration of this server.
