I would personally focus on a more realistic set of goals and set the Epic aside as a secondary to pursue, if you end up honestly loving your mage. The first goal would be to get your standard focus items. The next goal would be to abuse the items and race for lvl 50+. I discovered that magicians are even faster at leveling than a fear kiting necromancer on the Blue server, so that isn't a problem. Lastly, do the research and legwork needed to get some moderate help in getting your Water staff from Phinny.

If you are able to make the long haul to lvl 60 and have the Water Staff, a focused max level Greater Vocerate: Water pet can make most tricked out rogues look over at its parse and start sweating. It is very strong. If you can make it that far, then it will be up to you if the final step for the Epic is worth it.

I wouldn't count on completing the epic, but you don't need it to enjoy playing to mage. Get the baby epic focus staves, enjoy the journey to 60. This game is really about the journey anyways. If you're really serious about the epic please understand it's a massive commitment that you will likely come to resent.

Check out my guide to the epic, it has tips for getting the earth staff, and feel free to PM for more detailed info.

Pint is correct. Most mages that are even semi-competitive will not see their epic. It is farmed on quake and respawn by a group of dorks that already have 5+ million plat in the hopes of making another big score. The drop is extremely rare and you are competing with the farm team and all other guilds that want to help their mages.

Mage is fun to play in spite of the epic nonsense anyway.
Feel like a superhero leveling until 55ish, raids are usually desperate for ya. Super chill play style or highly active. Fun class

Like everything in end game P99, it's all about right place right time, I've seen mages get the epic within months of hitting 60, and there are mages that have been playing for years who haven't got it. If you get into a Kittens level raiding guild or above you'll have a chance at it, just depends how lucky you are.

Haha, at least I enjoy the convo, thanks guys for your input [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Based on your input though it will most likely not happen, I have already started my journey - and if it never does - I just have to accept it. I will do all I can though!
