Level 1 Epics

You don't remember it because not many people did it back then. That doesn't mean it was mechanically impossible.

EQ didn't really use level limits on Quests until Velious and the only ones I know of in Velious that have limits are the PoGrowth Tunare quests (which all require 55).

Nor did quests limit class participation.

In Classic/Kunark, the only thing mobs should check for when receiving quest pieces is Faction. If your faction checks out you should get the reward. Some NPCs wouldn't talk to you due to level, but they would accept quest pieces given to them by a low level.
