Mage epic - no longer possible to complete?
Hello fellow EQ players,
I played a mage on live back in 1999-2002, long story short I never managed to complete my mage epic, and now I'm back to experience all of EQ again with the ambition to complete that goal, once again. Had a few chats with people on my selected server (Blue), and they all told me that there is no point in even going for it (roll another character if you are interested in obtaining your epic), obviously, this lowered my morale somewhat. I have no idea if it's true, but apparently, there is a very small group of people "living in Hate, farming the Earth staff - constantly". Selling it for Multiquest for a minimum of 800k plat. I have no idea if this is true, and this is obviously within their right as the spawns are contested. But for a level 1 mage who is about to start a new journey, am I totally screwed when it comes to obtaining the mage epic? Also, would it be in my best interest to roll on Green instead? I'm not in a rush, I just want to have a realistic chance of having a fantastic journey and ultimately reaching my goal. Thanks for any input/advice! | ||

Most guilds have a wide range of tools to assist you in the quest, including things like shared ranger accounts parked in hate to help you check for spawns.
It isn’t easy, it is very competitive, but it isn’t impossible.

But honestly, I'd recommend not joining a big guild, and going for a smaller one instead. For instance, on Green when a quake happens the big guilds go after the big targets like Sleeper's, TOV, or KT ... but smaller guilds like Castle do Hate. You can get a Magi in a big guild: I'm in Kingdom and we got one last week ... after I spent over a week tracking (I work from home, so that means sitting with EQ open, and clicking the track button every 10 seconds or so all day long, every 3 days after a quake and roughly 3 days after that) ... and then after we barely beat another guild racing for it. But every quake it seems Castle races up there, and gets any Magis that spawn all to themselves. Since the staff is doing a lot more quakes these days, I truly think they (or a similar guild of their size, ie. big enough to raid hate whenever a quake happens, but not big enough to compete with the Seal Teams and Kingdoms) is best for a mage wanting an epic.

I wouldn't get discouraged. You have such a long journey to get there, have faith you'll make friends and guildies along the way. Its a tough bottle-neck for sure but you'll have plenty of challenges in the meantime.
