I beat EQ never getting my epic for this poor gnome.

I'd estimate my kill count to be approximately the same. The epic was the sole reason I chose to start as a mage when I began playing on P99. Sadly, I had no idea at that time that the staff was the utter disappointment it is currently. I've largely given up on my mage because it feels like there is little hope of getting this item. Though I did for a time, I can't continue to sit on a tracker in Hate and in the off chance I find him, try to get a force together at often weird hours of the day (4-6 am) while maintaining any semblance of hope or enjoyment when I go ~20 kills with 0 drops. It should be noted that my count of 20 are those kills specific to me and not others I helped. Even in those kills to help others - I'd estimate an additional 10+ kills - I've never seen the staff.

For the reasons mentioned, rarity and MQability (resulting in a RMT camp), I've mentioned for years now that this needs to be revised in some manner.
