Question about Child's Tear (Shaman Epic)

Here is a true story that will probably tear you up inside. I’m sorry if it does.

About five or six years ago my shaman was 47. I was sitting in West Freeport root rotting Guards when I got a tell. I didn’t know the sender but what he said to me was, "We just killed a golem and the iksar maiden is up. Hurry down here and we will let you kill her and loot the child’s tear". I had no idea what they were talking about. I never had an epic on live and I never thought I would have one on project 1999. I had no idea what was involved in the shaman epic… All I knew is that somebody was trying to give me something for free from the plane of fear. So I ran down there.

A long story short… I zoned into the plane of fear. Hands and knees shaking for fear that I was going to be either destroyed by mobs or tricked by a malicious player. It all turned out to be legit. I looted the tear. And then started my shaman epic and completed it just a couple weeks later.

Thank you for sharing.

The guild I was in (I think at the time it was Taken?) did exactly as you said. Hell, your example sounds almost EXACTLY like one of the nights where our officers did a '/who all shaman 46 60' and started sending tells.

When I started playing my Shaman a few years later I was really disappointed I never looted a tear on those nights we let it rot. Spent the 60k or whatever to get a MQ.

Kinda miss those days.

For me... It was The Mystical Order who gave me the Child's Tear. I remember that clearly. I sent a tell to my buddy to tell him what was happening. My buddy absolutely hated TMO. I had no opinion one way or another. I remember the whole way down he was telling me that they were going to have me zone in, get killed, and then leave me with a CR from hell. But he was wrong. That was a good lesson to me to rate people by their individual behavior and not by their guild tag.
