price check, cleric epic parts

That's an easy kill (if not for the PH spawn times), and certainly well ahead of handing over 5k-10k plat... I just can't see where that figure comes from other than the "CBA, just going to pay" element that plays on the server.

If you're in a guild there's no reason why you can't quest the whole epic out with them over a period of time from start to finish. Sure, Ixiblat can be a challenge if you're lacking a well geared tank and Ragefire is perma-camped by TMO/BDA... but up to there I don't see why questing clerics can't manage.

It is an easy kill, but what is a person's time worth? If someone can group in crypt for a few hours getting xp and a hiero and selling that for most of the cost of an epic, then why spend the time to do all the camps and runs, when you can just run out to TD once and be done with it?

Same reason people pay 4-5k for jboot MQs? To save time.

I would imagine most people got the "lore" aspect of EQ out of the way back in 1999-2000 and know what they want and how to get it with the least amount of work and roadblocks possible.

2k maybe... 10k? Laughable for the plasmatic priest.

Maybe my views are skewed because I don't have an abundance of cash, and questing (as mentioned) is all part of the epic process.

Sure, if you're in a high flying guild or buy/sell accountso n the server and have geared up 3-4 alts with epics...what's another 10k? No stopping anyone, maybe I should look into profiting from people's lack of time - 10k to kill Bergurgle and show up at Sol Ro for a quick hand in sounds like easy money.

I will gladly pay 5-10k to not have to camp Begurgle. Different strokes.

I should clarify that I've done the cleric epic on live and have probably camped/killed Begurgle around 15-20 times on EZ server. It's neither an efficient use of time nor enjoyable.
