I need to do epic for an Bard, Shaman, Berzerker.
Tips needed,
for example heard that it is faster to do the 1.0 for the Shm than the 1.5 prequest.

berzerker i 100% recommend doing 1.0 -> 1.5 -> 2.0 --- the 1.5 prequest for zerker is dumb

bard just do prequest 1.5, 1.5, 2.0

shm i did 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 just because the quest is cool
 
You have to do the shaman 1.0 for faction.

In the 1.5 pre-quest, you have to get the black dire boots early on. Problem is you won't have the faction to hand in the dire pelt to the spirit sentinel. So you have to do the 1.0 to get the positive faction hits with True Spirit.

Is it possible to do epic quest only with a 6 box group?
Click to expand...
absolutely!

depending on your lvl you can easily solo them these days (have to get some friends so you can request the anguish raid for the orb, but you can solo the raid)
 
wow cool to know is there any target level before you can raid those mob? because from what I remember from the old days and the p99 servers its impossible even with a full level 60 group to kill some encounters
 
I 6 boxed the zerker, SK, and Cleric with all toons in their mid 60s, less than 100AAs and defiant gear. Someone helped me with my bard early but I’m sure I could have handled it once I was in this area

and I’m only talking about the 1.0s. I haven’t tried 1.5s and up yet
 
for the berserker 1.5, the ancient sebilite golem was a pain. i decapitated him, waited 2 hour for him to repop, then i came back the next day, waited 45min for him to respawn to test my last axe. was afraid i had to restart the epic quest. face away and be carefull of the summoning. just have someone who can do low dps... I had brought a bard who instead of equipping a fine steel hammer, used his OT hammer on ASG. felt pretty stupid. in the end i got it (whent unconcious as i made my last turn in, hit cancel just in time. )

Shaman 1.0 or prequest can be a toss up. The prequest requires you to do over half of the normal epic. Then you need a rare spawn in plane of disease to continue. So what I did was have 1 toon camping the rare spawn in PoD while I had the rest of my group running around City of Mist and Plane of Fear doing the regular 1.0 quest. I was able to finish the regular epic before the prequest rare mob spawned.
 
I have done ZERK X6 epic 2.0 together at last week.
my step : pre 1.5 , 1.5 2.0
tips: go baz buying lighting core (2.0) and cragbeast blood(1.5). rares drop but tradeable

Only pre1.5 need pay attension :
1.emote NPC at The hole t->using yr DS (cloak effect) no need control hp(keep npc alive a while) , dont use hit even u r naked :(
PS: 100 mins re spawn , I keep it alive for 3 mins
2. emote NPc at Hate’s Fury : naked and use hit and DS ok~ below 20% HP using war cry(SKILL) then kill it.
PS: random re-spawn

1.5 and 2.0 nothing special!! just need camp task items.
 
I opted to go 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 for both Bard and Shaman. Neither was very difficult.

I had started farming materials for the Diamonds for Bard 1.5 when I thought to check Bazaar. I was able to purchase all of em, which I imagine saved a great deal of time.
 
So have completed Shaman 1.0 and started the Berzerker 1.0 last night. I am stuck on the "Burning Essence of Rage" drop. Do you farm this in House of Thule Version of Plane of fear or is it in lower level Plane of fear? I didn't get mob to spawn during a clear.
 
UPDATE:
So I have completed Shaman 1.0, hardest part was the locked doors in City of Mist. I couldn't figure out why my bard couldn't open them. I finally went and killed mobs for the key. Overall think I had less than 4 hours from start to finish.
Bard I did the 1.5 prequest. This was way easy took maybe an hour.
Zerker I did 1.0 the worst part is the farming time. Had bad luck with the Essence of rage from PoFear. Took a lot of time getting the paw, liver and scent these seemed to take forever to get named to spawn. Time I have had to do this over 2 and 1/2 days.

Thanks for your help. Now on to getting the 1.5
 
Is it worth going for Zerker epic 110+ guys or can he benefit from having it in inventory ?

Thanks
 
Update
Finished Bard 2.0. The 2.0 quest is very easy for an Bard.
Working on Berserker 2.0 and everything was also easy except the Lightning Cores. I haven't found them for sale. I have done 7 Anguish clears and still no drop. This might be rough as I need 3 of them.
 
Yes, that was the PITA part if the Berserker. I got mine on the first clearing of Anguish, it did not drop until about the end. I did that after aimlessly slaughtering the northern sections of MPG, i would not recommend doing this. Be sure to collect your Globe of Discordant Energy from Anguish, all your 2.0 epics need this.

It took a bit of time for my two Zerks but probably no more than 4 hours of game play
 
For the mob in Nobles causeway what is the spawn time (Bazu Smasher)?
 
I have finished the cleric epic 1.0 yesterday and it took me with all the spawn camping approximately 16 hours, I have been lucky on Lord Gimblox in Sol A spawn after 6 hours. The hardest part was getting into the royal rooms in Chardok to slay the Overking I had no Rogue or bard with pick lock and I have tried to get information's to get the keys but found nothing on the topic. I had to think about that one a little and manage to pass those door by using every bit of game mechanic I knew of the game.

I had a trio of characters Druid, cleric, SK to get pass that locked door:

1- I have use share the wolf form on the group to be able to see thought the door by sitting in front of it and target a mobs with each toons
2- Then summon a pet on each toons to be able to attack thought the door
3- Sent my druid pet and let it die so all the mobs came near the door
4- I then targeted my self with the druid and cast area root close to the door so I rooted all mobs on the others side
5- I then sent cleric hammer pet to get agro then got summon in and did same thing with SK
6- Its been harder to generate enough agro with the druid so I keep spamming the area root and backing off the door till they finally summon him in

I dunno if there is an easier way to do it but I know this as worked for me so if your desperate like me you guys can try it :)

Just wanted to shared my experience of that

Next EPIC is SK 1.0, does BST and Druid EPIC worth it?

Sorry for the syntax error English is not my first language

Can you guys tell me which EPIC worth doing it?

I know Cleric 1.5 is mandatory (already done cleric 1.0 as shown above), SK and Zerker is a must have if not mandatory but for others classes?

I have 2 groups War, Clr, bard and 3 zerker and SK, Shammy, Chanter, Mage, Wiz and BST

I remember that in the old days they almost all worth having but now I don't know

Thank

yes

sk, shm, bard, zerk, rog - 2.0 --- all 100%

looks like you're hard missing the shm and brd - those are both 100% need

Is the bst 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 worth messing with these days. Any benefit at 115 max aa?
Click to expand...
no, not imo.

bsts argue back and forth - at best it gives you single hundreds of increased dps - at worst you lose a stun/proc chance on your pet. I usually argue that eq is a game of inches - but that is a really small amount of inches at the risk of utility

Metric inches, otherwise known as centimeters.
 
Rogue epic worth it? Looks like decent dps boost still with the clicky?

I just completed the Berserker, Shaman, Rogue and Bard epics. The Rogue epic took the most time due to the tradeskill requirements and I thought it was the "hardest" of those as well. I think they made pickpocketing Founy Jesthands and Tani N’Mar easier with a recent patch so that should speed things up.

You cannot start the raid with a group of six ? How many do you need ?
 
Sic said:
yes, as i said you can't request the raid solo, so you need some friends to request it, but you can solo it easily.
Click to expand...
But your link says you can initiate the raid with "at least six and no more than 54".
