Wizard epic

[Sorkail]

I got the Wiz epic on Live (Fennin Ro) roughly 2002-3, a few months into PoP release. Post-revamp, obviously. I got the VS staff by luck: I was sitting in Karnors LFG when a couple 65s zoned in, I chatted them up and turns out they were going for VS! No claim on the wiz staff, they said I could join, and it dropped that first time. So can't speak to rarity on that one.

Golem was up on the one Fear clear I ever did. Lucky there, but maybe he wasn't killed too often at that point?

Had to kill Phinny 20-some times for BCS. I leveled a Ranger to 5 and parked him at the entrance of Kedge, would log on daily if I didn't know where the spawn timer was at. If he was up I would look for a 65 player LFG (usually monk or war) and ask if they wanted to do Phinny with me...surprisingly got a lot of help that way! No idea what the odds were on the staff -- either terrible drop rate or very terrible luck.

So it was relatively easy for me a few years after the classic era, but looks ridiculous before revamp / more xpacs / everyone camping them all the time.
