also 99% of epics have lvl req 46 iirc, only time you see a rogue with a epic at low level is due to deleveling unless I'm mistaken

The only way lowbie rogues with epics is possible is if they completed the quest before the patch to make all epics require level 46. You can't equip your gear that you loot off your corpse if you delevel and it has a level requirement.

100% of epics have requirement level 46

I remember on EQ live equipping epics on level 1 characters because the check on level restriction is client side. Meaning you had to haxor to do it. I vaguely recall something about being able to equip items in any slot as well and people having those +hp rings in every slot at level 1. You could also haxor the shared bank in whatever expansion that was and transfer your epic to a level 1. EQ had no concept of security and anti cheat. As a side note I still wonder how secure the EQ client itself is considering you're connecting to emulated servers with modified code.

That patch came about after Brad McQuaid himself was talking to the staff here right? He said he didn't think it was right that a level 1 rogue could wield an epic weapon.

All in an aside while promoting Pantheon many years ago.

Not sure when it came about exactly, but I remember my friend quitting p99 about 3 years ago because he AFKd on his level 13 epic rogue and got killed in Oasis - and quit because "Now I have to get back to level 46 to equip the epic"

Even though the worn effect didn't take hold until level 46, you still got the stat bonus.
