EHH... I saw a 60 ranger fail ensnare 3 times in a row for my epic on red this week. Renux is 50 and resisty. That's why I highly recommend a 55+ snare class, because Renux is death incarnate if she procs her stun on you (which she probably will). Druid epic has a -150 resist check mod, so that's my preferred class for kiting it. 60 druid can solo it if need be, too.

People tend to under estimate her and it gets them murdered. Why she's my favorite NPC in game, along with her dad.

Oh yeah, she's hell on wheels if she catches you, and if she gets to BS, well, druids don't have a lot of hp. I just used the fast cast L1 snare, it's agro whether it lands or not and L45 SoW is plenty fast enough to stay out of her reach. Did it twice with no problems, tho I suppose a client/server hiccup could've ruined my day. The time i tried tanking her with a 50-ish paladin the rogue got her down to low health right after she killed me, lol, spin stun from a rogue npc isn't very nice.

Going easier top, go harder bottom:

Rogue
Shaman
Monk
Cleric
Paladin
Enchanter
---------
Ranger
Druid
Warrior
Shadowknight
Bard
Wizard
Magician
Necromancer

I put a split after Enchanter epic because all epics after that point require you kill an FTE rotated raid mob. Meaning you have to be in a guild to get the kills for these. The paladin one requires it, but Paladins can buy the book and not many Paladins exist so it isn't too bad.

Rogue, Shaman and Monk epics are extremely easy. Join a guild, get into your 50s on those characters and do the steps that don't require your guilds assistance:

Rogue - Pickpocket pages, turn into Stanos/Eldreth, grab Hate book during a Hate raid. Hire a Druid to help you kill Renux. Then you're ready for the final fight with General, which requires your guild's help. If you don't get a Quill drop, then look into buying the Robes.

Shaman - Repeat CoM pages over and over to max faction. Attend a Fear raid and get a Child's Tear. Then ask guild to help you do final fight in CoM

Monk - Get a few friends together (Cleric, Druid, Monk, Tank, Melee DPS X2). Do the Eejag fight, get a wizard to port you up to Sky for the Presence fight (bring 3,000 plat to pay for people's Key of Swords). Then do the Trunt fight after this. Gather another group from your guild and do Xenovorash fight.

If you haven't exhausted too many favors, call in friends to kill Brother Q/Z for Robe. If you have, do the camps for Raster/Targin and quest your robe. Level in KC at hands and hope to win roll on 1 pipe. Buy the Chardok pipe or create a group and kill in the Levitate tunnel for a few hours. Then do a named farming group in Skyfire, best to do this with an Enchanter needing Felia or camp Eldrig with a bard.

If you have a dedicated group of friends/guild mates, most of these steps can be done over a single weekend.

Necromancer epic you won't get unless you raid a ton or buy the pieces for 500k~. I'd suggest against buying your Rogue's epic on your main. It's easy enough to quest yourself as I mention above. Attend a Hate raid, Ask 1 Druid to help you kill Renux and be in a guild and get help to kill General.

It's actually a little bit harder than that: you can't turn in CoM pages/books until you've gotten to a certain faction level, so you have to either:

A) get a cleric to rez you or get a druid to port you while you repeat the very first step (a lot), or
B) complete some other early step multiple times (eg. kill the guys in Rathe a bunch), or
C) complete the first half of the epic properly (which mostly just involves a lot of running around and killing easy stuff)

Regardless of which of the above you choose though, you really have to do the Black Dire step; while it's not necessary, the insta-click SoW booties are so awesome they should be considered part of the epic IMHO.

So what you're saying is... It's harder than the Rogue epic, but easier than everybody else. Right? Lol.

I don't understand why you guys are giving so much weight to Magician epic. Is it because of the Staff of Elemental Earth from Inny? You do realize that that is much, much more common now that one guild isn't monopolizing 100% of the raid content, right?

It's still a very rare drop from what I've seen. We haven't seen one in months.

And in that same time frame, how many SK swords, wizard staves, or trak guts have you acquired? How many before? These are all things they have ranked as easier than mage.

Mage staff and SK sword seem the most rare. We've seen a pretty good amount of wiz staffs and Trak guts.

But what about Slime Bloods. We still haven't seen a single one drop...
