That might give you pause to reconsider going for the Epic lol. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.][You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

There are guilds that wait to turn in skins until they have a few wizards ready to go. You should contact some of them

This was funny. Wizards epic easy?

Only way it is easy is if you rmt that VS staff or have a million plat sitting around. Otherwise join a raiding guild and get in line.

Gnarled staff wasn't a 100% drop rate on live post-Velious.

When I did my epic in the Luclin days he died several times without it. Sometimes he had different staves - although I forget which they were.

Funny story about the broken golem - they patched something that changed the faction in PoFear which resulted in the golem being instagibbed as soon as he spawned.

I was bound inside of fear and would gate in and Eye of Zomm every day for over a month. I petitioned several times and the word finally got out that it was a bug introduced by a patch.

I asked a GM - since this was a known issue - if there was any way he could just spawn the golem for me. He said "a month is long enough" and handed me the golem oil and ported me to the turn-in guy. Then he ported me to Sol Ro to finish my epic.

It was one of the easiest epics on Live after Velious came out and they nerfed the PoF and VS steps. Couple of hours of walkwork, three fights, and you're done. No special effort required, just a few groups of high 50s.

During the Kunark era it was ridiculous. My guy was wielding a Blue Crystal Staff for a long long time. VS and CT are bottlenecks here because everyone can kill them, but they were bottlenecks on my server because they were very, very difficult to kill.

There aren't really many "initial steps" though, one way or the other. It's not like a lot of other epics where you can pay attention while you're leveling up and get a lot of things done that would require effort and backtracking later. Best thing you can do to get a leg up on the process is find some friends in your 50s and ace Phin. The BCS is a fine 1h, anyway.

Should have been 2hb for most of the server's life, along with gnarled staff. Was changed to 1hb a few weeks before Velious released.

It is as if different developers worked on different quests and never communicated properly to each other to ensure they are all on a relatively equal footing in terms of difficulty to acquire.

Huh, don't remember that part. I was wielding the BCS with an Eye of Innoruuk off-handed for quite some time (because I had been part of a hate raid with no necros).

I didn't get my epic until a few months into Velious, though. Just couldn't get a swing at VS for awhile even with the 3 day window. Musta got my BCS not too long before the Velious release.

FWIW I got Gnarled Staff on my first swing at VS, but it was during Velious, so.

I dare say the wizard epic is one of the easiest too...

Just 3 mobs to kill, 2 of which drop every time..and Phinny is fast respawn and super easy with <1 group if you know your tactics.

Wizard, rogue, monk, shaman = easiest epics (not in any order)

Adon

Unless I missed something, Venril Sathir does NOT drop the Staff every time. It's common (in the neighborhood of 3 Staves per 4 kills) but you are NOT guaranteed to get it.

VS is one of the FEW mobs that is on a strict Rotation on my Server. Every 2 or 3 months, your turn comes up and you kill him.

Hmm, I've never been to a VS raid where he didn't drop the stick...I guess I must be lucky for wizards :/

Ad

It may not be 100% but it should be pretty damn close. In all the times I killed him on Mac server, I never got a kill where he didn't drop the wizard epic staff (10-15+).

Way better than its current 20% for sure.
