Which class takes the longest time to complete, or the shortest?

Which one's the most difficult, or the easiest?

Druids have to kill Fey for the part of the epic. How does one get enough peeps to help you to kill Fey? Especially when your guild don't have enough peeps to kill it.

I'm not going to kill Fey now, but in the far future. Hopefully before Christmas.

Easiest : Rogue
Even after the changes the Rogue epic is still farmed for almost every 50+ rogue.

Worst : Cleric
Waiting in line behind every other 50+ cleric on the server to get your shot at Zordak, spending days to weeks camping him, hoping some gimp guild doesn't KS him.

The Zordak camp is almost identical to the VSR camp.

Easiest: Rogue.

Hardest: Enchanter. Every piece is No Drop and must be combined in No Drop bags that get turned in for another No Drop item. There are 5 major parts to the quest with 4 of them having 4 'sub-quests' each. Having had a roommate that went through this and having to help watch spawns and shit, it sucks.

Most annoying: Cleric. It's all about sitting in Naggy's lair and killing FG's every 6 hours. Plus side to that is you can get PMM's, PMT's, Skarlon Swords and Mith Arms/Legs like they're candy.

Easiest (by far): Rogue

Hardest: Mage

The mage one is ALOT of waiting on 10-20 hour + spawns, finding a roaming spawn in SK (Reports of mages taking 300+ hours on Quillmane), hoping that a miniboss in hate that pops half the time and drops a piece 25% of the time...Farming Sol A for hours to get power of fire, Farming Najena...

But, for the long quest, we get, arguably, the best epic in the game, too

Most annoying: Cleric

The cleric one is fairly easy up until ragefire.

Easist: Rogue. Apparently, when you ding 51 you're given one. I've never seen a 50+ rogue without one.

Hardest: Mage. Nothing outrageously hard to kill, but to many random spawns. That being said, its also one of the best.

Most annoying: Cleric. Camping Rage is a bitch. And the necro one may be = boring, but there isnt a waiting list that is 2 months long to do it. The cleric epic is the one everyone supports. Its considered necessary. So it isnt uncommon to find out that, when you want to camp rage, you've got to wait until cleric A-G get it.

As far as finding people to kill Fay, dont listen to Mara. Make friends, pull your friends and guildies together and then go do it.

Insert 'Nagafen's Lair' in place of 'Hate' and that sounds like the Cleric epic!

Make friends heh unless you are already in a guild that can handle him np.

Easiest: rogue hands down

Hardest: Depends: clerics(if you are not in a top 10 guild on your server) otherwise magicians, half the items are not no drop(Blast you verant!!)

Heh, one of the clerics in me guild went with 5 other lvl 60's in one of the servers uber guilds and killed ragefire(with 1 group only) Just make sure you are on when he spawns and you have the manpower to do it.

Just recently a guild cleric spent 85 hours waitin for rage to spawn, and once he did the FG's were still down(we killed FG's every 8 hours to keep em down) and he got his epic.

Another hard part NOW with the cleric epic is the fact they remodeled Chardok(from what I heard..., going there next sunday to kill the royals). Id like to see what they done...., supposedly harder more organized enemies.

During the Con this weekend, I heard several members of my guild talking. It appears that one of the Uber Guilds on our server has Ragefire camped 24/7. If you are not in one of the 3 (I think they said 3) Uber-est guilds on the server, you don't really have a hope in hell of getting it. It's farmed for the up-and-coming cleric twinks of the ubers instead.

Some of my guildmates were sounding VERY bitter about that. Once again, I'm glad I don't play at the higher levels.

I believe in the existance of magic, not because I have seen proof of its existance, but because I refuse to live in a world where it does not exist.

I had no problems with the necro epic (not done with it yet) until I hit the brick wall that is chardock, on our server no one goes there anymore. It's like runnyeye a major ghost town. So after sitting there for 2 weeks waiting for even one guild to head that way I gave up. I figure I tell my friends and maybe someone will let me know.
I recently got to watch my hubby work on the bards quest it seems a little hard what with needing trakanon's guts and all.

Easiest: Rogue, I thought Woody's strip about the one rogue throwing hers at Inny wasn't all that unrealistic

Hardest: Mage and Enchanter are tied, though Enchanter is by far the most time consuming if you're not in a major guild.

Most annoying/boring: Cleric and Necro are tied again, and the Duck Stick is hardly worth it

Oh god, not one of these threads again.

I can't comment on other classes epics, as I haven't exactly tried to complete them, but I must say the bard epic is one of the more frustrating ones, along with the Paladin and Warrior one, as it requires you to get items off Lord Nagafen or Lady Vox ... or off a Kunark dragon that is harder to take down. The bard, pally, and warrior epics are the only ones that I know of that become MUCH more difficult to complete if you pass a certain level (52 in this case). All the others, you aren't penalized for levelling (as far as I know, I could be completely wrong).

The bard edges out the pally and warrior quests in annoyance because when the the pallys item drops, they dont have to roll against other classes for the items (bards and warriors have to roll against each other for red scale, bards often have to roll against casters for the white scale). Warriors only have to deal with the red scale... bards get the joy of having to get both scales.

For those that are wondering why I sound bitter about it... I have taken out Naggy 17 times and Vox 5 times. I've seen 7 red scales and 3 white scales drop. Guess how many I have to show for it. Guess why I'm still level 52.

Check with the server message boards, usually there is a chardok royal raid(heh thats also part of a cleric epic piece) see if you can go along and attempt to get your piece. Just say you dont want any other loot, that usually suckers them to let ya go with em.

That mob would be Nortlav the Scalekeeper, he is level 55, and is a Shadowknight (I think). He supposedly can drop White, Red, or Green scales, but noone I've talked to on Terris has ever seen him drop a White scale - usually drops a Red. He is also not that easy to get to, as he is at the bottom of the bottom of the hole (that is, a good 3 hour crawl thru the hole), even past the main boss of the Hole, Master Yael (level 56 and can deathtouch). Both these mobs are also usually taken out by the higher level guilds on the server.

Just easier to wait for a lucky drop and roll from Vox and Naggy.

I loved the Hole, that place is the greatest XP in the game from 45 - 55, in a 6 man group.

Hehehehe. Espie, my level 1 halfing rogue, has spent more time dragging people from the impact point to the zone-in pool then actually dragging wiped out raids (which is what he was created for). I can go down and get the body/bodies and drag them back up in about 25 minutes now.
