Upcoming change to class epics

[Haloren]

I always thought of the spirit of epics to be for post 50 characters regardless of game set mechanics.

I don't know what all the rules really were, I remember there being a level requirement to talk to Telin Darkforest which pushed me to level my druid more. Even though I just wanted to talk to him it pushed me to level. Thats classic to me.

Always bugged me that this was possible on emulator servers. Didnt seem classic to me. Level 1 with epic? camaaan

Good change guys. Thanks.

For the rogue epic, level 4 is the lowest you could be after deleveling a few levels when you dinged 7 for the hand-in. Level 1 rogue with epic is hax.

IIRC, Telin would not respond to Hails or keywords until you were a certain level - but I think it was eventually discovered that he would accept the item(s) anyway, and give you the right stuff back.

Anecdotal, of course .... but server staff walks a fine line between classic accuracy and "spirit" of classic EQ.

Server is deep down the rabbit hole regardless. Wipe it clean.

There is inconsistent research regarding which epics required level requirements to obtain. Several couldn't be completed until 46 or higher due to level checks on quests or certain steps involving planar zones. It has been noted by the original developers that epic items were intended only for those of higher levels. Additionally, we feel that acquiring an epic weapon should only be possible when a player has become powerful enough to cross interplanar portals. Therefore, we are adding a level requirement of 46 to equip all epic items.

prob best patch notes ever
