Viability of Obtaining Epic

[Scio]

Hello fellow P99'ers!

I have played EQ on and off since the initial release and am happy to join the P99 community as of a couple of months ago. I play a level 35 necro and I just recently joined a leveling guild with the majority of its members in the 35-50 range.

Having never been a serious raider in EQ, I would like to inquire about the difficulty of completing the necro epic on P99, specifically with regard to killing CT and Innoruuk. I have read the new raiding rules and my guild is currently neither C nor R class, obviously.

Is it essentially necessary to be in a C or R class guild to have a chance at one of these encounters? Furthermore, are the chances of obtaining one of the needed drops so low that most level 60 necro do not have their epic? I apologize for my ignorance, but I am just trying to adjust my expectations to the reality of the server.

Thanks in advance for any responses.

Side question: I read that these items also drop off of mini-bosses or alternate raid targets post-revamp. Is p99 currently post-revamp or pre-revamp in this regard?
