Mage epic - no longer possible to complete?

[Hetjan]

tldr: The earth staff while rough to obtain is still possible.

The mage epic catch 22 ... I have mine and have had it for about 6-8 years (thanks to an in game bro and the old guild Anonymous).

But to the point. The entire epic is essentially the earth staff. In a perfect world you would get the earth staff and do the rest of the epic afterwards. In our world almost nobody is going to let you loot the earth staff without having completed the entire rest of the epic quest.

While it is super rough, the earth staff does drop. To be honest, I think you just have to be dedicated to raiding hate with a small group of folks every couple/few days.

On the flip side, I have had several other epics for a long while but on my enchanter I have been stuck on Vessel Drozlin for like 8 years. It's a crazy poop show when he spawns. I go through cycles every now and then of trying for it but always end up shrugging it off.
