Which epic will become buyable next?

It was just a loaded question. i mean how slow do you have to be to know why some epics are easily sold and others arent. If something was gonna be the "next" it would have happened 2 years ago when kunark was a year in existance.

I disagree with this statement. I think there are MQable epics that will be sold in the next year that haven't routinely been sold as of yet. Or, the bottleneck pieces of some epics which haven't been routinely for sale yet will also be sold.

Of course, you can answer that you think nothing is coming next. But that doesn't make my question loaded. At best, it makes me dumb and you smart. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Come Velious most of the epics have bottlenecks removed. You dont see the 2 "other easist epics" then the ones you listed which are pally and enchanter because there are parts that cant be MQ for final turnin. Paladins basically have the books that can be MQ and as stated cant MQ anything for chanters thats why they are not sold. All of the other epics have bottlenecked parts that wont be relieved til awhile into velious due to tons of people already needing them. You would occasionally see bard epic sold by TMO or major parts for other epics but that is because they had a monopoly on said items. That wont happen anymore.

why would anyone buy their epic now that any guild on the server can kill high end mobs?

Presumes the fact that everyone who wants an epic is in a raiding guild/wants to raid.

well lets see, because there is such a backlog on VS that Druids/rangers wont be seeing their epic for 6 months or more or perhaps STILL till the velious patch that makes Venril sathir Remains pop in game?

There are STILL posts all over the EC tunnel thread where people looking for the VS stone for good size plat amounts and almost no one has one for sale (except TMO / IB .. which want your 1st and 2nd born.... 2 arms and a 3rd leg for an MQ)

Next, FFA VS is without a doubt almost always still killed by IB/FE/Tmo.

so that's leaves 2 spawns a month for class R. which the guilds on rotation and take turns to be fair. (not complaining there) After you rotate thru all the Class R guilds we get one VS every 2 - 3 months..

and finally, of the VS kill(s) that we do the SOB isn't guaranteed to drop an epic piece (druid or otherwise) ... for example.. last kill we didnt get any ANY epic piece at all. just two pally legs.. /wrists.

Come to P1999 for a classic EverQuest experience...then shortcut one of the most fundamental class items there is and buy at level 1.

epic quest, more like epic buy here.

mqing epic is a classic untended mechanic (BUG). not part of the "vision" at all as per my email from brad.

Ya, that's pretty obvious and is why I cannot for the life of me understand why Rogean gave the ok to add MQ into the database.
It's clear that the server is not meant to be 100% classic. And I appreciate the addition of convenience and creature comforts, such as item linking and a custom UI.

But MQ is not a creature comfort, it's a short cut that fuels an inflated and hyper synthetic economy ruled by exploiters and hacks.

It doesn't matter how many they catch or ban, what matters is that they enabled it in the first place.

When people introduced me to P99 some years ago, I got the impression it was classic EQ improved. Not 'classic eq that caters to those who will fund it more'

Getting rid of MQs only means loot rights just get sold instead.

This is already the case with shaman and monk epic. General is 2 zones away from EC - selling loot rights to him wouldn't change all that much. Nerfing MQ just stops cleric epics from being MQd - I don't think anyone is going to rally much support in that cause. I'm gonna guess you would still see loot rights sold to Ragefire, but it would have to be done by someone the community trusts enough to give out their info to (this is already done for monk epics).

You pals really need to develop some critical thinking skills.

As for an answer to the original post: ranger, druid, and magician.

Goes counter to why people are buying MQs in the first place though... pure laziness.

Sure some will, but I'd say its a push in the right direction for the laziest, and who wants to camp outside PoFear for days (or wherever) waiting to see if the seller's guild got FTE etc?

Critical thinking skills pasi, see both sides [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
