Starting the old epics

[Ryuno]

I read in the herald somewhere, was either in patch notes or grab bag, that they had left the old Epic quests in, so that if people want to still do them they can.

Was told to goto the NPC that gives the quest, not the trainer. But I went to the guy and he didnt talk to me at all. Trainer also does nowt.

I'm trying todo the Shadowblade old epic quest line.

Got a lvl 45 old epic item in my template so i'm kind of desperate to be able todo this. :/

Anybody else had problems, or can give info. Or perhaps a GM can clarify if it should be possible?

EDIT: ok found the info from the herald

Q: I have noticed that the level 40, 43, 45, 48, and 50 epic quests are still available to new characters. I thought that they had been all but removed from the game.



A: We took out all the low level ones. But you're not crazy; I too thought we'd taken them all out, but the Content Queen told me "We left the high end old epics turned on in case players wanted to finish the old ones instead of doing the new epics." Hey, the content guys try to cover as many bases as they can get away with.

So looks like they arn't in, but im wondering maybe I can start off at the level 40 one... Doubtful but i'll just have to try.

I have both Epic quests in my journal on my ranger. Am on 43 step in new epic (epic 7 or 8 something) and just did the level 40 step on old epic and got the weapon reward.

Note that I started old epic quest in last patch! It might make a difference.. i dont know. Maybe you deleted your low level prequisite (sp?) quests to old epic? In that case RightNow can solve it for you.

Hope it helps a lil bit

You can't do the old Epics any more unless you had started them before 1.79 went live. The Epics have requirements that you must fill before the NPC will offer them to you. One requirement is a level one - you must be at least level 30 to do your level 30 Epic for example, and the other requirement is that you've already completed all the previous Epics up to that point.

What this means is that if you'd already started on the old Epics, you'll be able to finish those quests and get the old Epic rewards. If you hadn't then you won't fill the requirements and so your class trainer won't offer them to you.

Lol I wish I knew about that earlier. Would of been nice to have some sort of warning.

that grab bag clearly states new characters though, is this another its ok for them but not us thing? Incae the players wanted the old epic and not the new 1

 

[Sparda]

sorry reread that and it makes no sence, and now edit

that answer deffinatly sugests they removed the 1-30 epics but left the 40 -50 in, incase the player wanted the old epic for any reason also the question has clearly the words "new character". Im thinking this is either a bug on our servers (like the old reaver flex animations being correct even thought they wernt. GoA were adamant on that aswell) its part of the 1.81 patch, or its a feature you guys removed.

You had an item from the old epic line in your template.... and cant do the old epics ?

(couldnt resist - sorry)

 

[Vell]

My shadowblade has done the old level 40 epic but got no further, so in theory I should be able to complete the old epics on her? If so, you can have my epic 45 item, whatever it is. Although you'll have to help me get to level 45 and do the quest - only 43 at the moment

Kinda hard with you on Excal and Ryuno on Glast.

Ah, yes, so it is. Oh well, it's the thought that counts

 

[Lamp]

Hang on I'm getting confused.

My Armsman (which I've had pre 1.7x) still needs his 50 epic. Am I now precluded from finishing the level 50 armour epic cos they've now scrapped all epic quests ?

Thats we he says

The epics are still in the game. Which is why it is REALLY annoying that you cannot start them with a new character. Even though the US grab bag there from Mythic, says they can.

 

[Tilda]

No it dosn't.
Read what sanya says.
Some epics were left in, so that if you wanted to finish them you can, but as req says new charachters wont be able to. This is also the case on the US. neither sanya nor Req said that new charachters could do them.
Be less hasty on the "omg goa took it out this sucks" flame posts imo.

actually it does say, specifically NEW players.

So less hasty on the "your wrong read what it says" posts imo.

Not that it matters anyway, because it won't get changed.
