Game Mechanics: Should not be able to complete epics before 45

Thread above includes a quote about Shaman getting epic at level 5.

Also includes evidence that clerics could get at 47, but not click until 50+. Off to the research mobile!

Shamans can do their epics at level 5 (rather easy actually, only require a MQ tear from fear), wonder why the game dont allow them to use a 1.6k dot at level 5 .

K well I got the wizard one covered.

I'm sure the rest could be different but that was the consensus at the time.

decided to do a little research because the way I remember it, anyone with a rogue epic before 50 was deleveled. this is only one post but maybe Nirgon is on to something. read last line.

[SamwiseRed]

other quotes on rogue epic making me think its 50+ only.

"Getting your Ragebringer is fairly easy, guilded or unguilded, i got mine as soon as i hit 50"

"You CANNOT get your Ragebringer until level 50. You can still get the items...but don't bother with any of the dialogues/turn-ins until level 50. I wasted an hour running around Catacombs trying to find Malka to begin it, just to have her tell me to take a hike. (Level 46)"

all and more in http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=765

also on eq mac forums
"You need to be 50 to start the quest, though technically a level 50+ toon can summon Stanos for you, but it's touch & go as to whether a sub-50 toon can complete the handins (I've heard he'll eat handins from under-levelled toons). Just get to 50 if you want to be safe."

lastly I just want to say its pretty obvious things like rogue epics werent intended to be twink gear for a lvl 10 rogue alt.

[Yinikren]

I support this simply to stop all the damn rogue twinks from running around.

Also, Stanos ate my handin on live at 49.

[Nirgon]

On to something aka knows what the deal is

[SirAlvarex]

Sounds to me like *the person who does the first hand in* needs to be 50+. After that, the quest has been started and it doesn't matter the level of the person completing it.

Atleast that's the pattern I've seen from these posts.

[Nirgon]

Does that mean the person doing the first hand in on a quest item must also only meet the appropriate faction level? Don't think so. Else, Velious quest armoring would be a joke.

[Krysttal]

I can tell you during velious my husband and I MQed the Monk epic on my lvl 2 monk. It was pretty funny while leveling.
The proc did not work until 45, but i was able to wear it just fine.

[Nirgon]

Somewhere out there is a post for the wizard epic NPCs giving you the cold shoulder until 45/46.

Faction for every quest I can think of has to be maxed on the final turn in and many parts weren't repeatable.

Another fun fact, is the turn in should pretty much 0 out your true spirit faction. Meaning, it puts it at a level that none of the npcs will deal with you any more but not attack you. Right now, I think you can just repeat whatever pieces you want here for items.
