Epic Weapon

Summary

Most of the epics on Chainbreaker also grant some kind of unique bonus to your character. There are a few that still do not have their unique effects implemented, but those should be noted below.

In addition to their unique effects, wearing a class epic will increase the damage and healing of their corresponding class spells by 50%.

The damage and delay of epic weapons have been re-tuned to make them more competitive with Velious era weapons.

Epic weapons can be equipped in their typical slots (primary or primary/secondary depending on the weapon), and can also be placed in Charm or Power Source slots to still confer their item stats and unique benefits. Epic combat effects in the Charm or Power Source slots will still proc in combat.

Epic 1.5 can be obtained by turning in a +10 epic 1.0 to the corresponding class NPC in load. For epics with 2 halves (ranger, warrior, bst), only 1 half needs to be turned in at +10. (Note, as of 08/13/24: most of the 1.5s currently reference out of era spell data so can't proc/click/worn anything atm. Hidden effects should be working fine though)

All epic 1.5's have the hidden effects and class damage bonus of their 1.0 counterpart. Hidden effects are often improved in varying ways.

Charming Quest Mobs

The Charmed Pet only has Amiable faction (1 above indifferent) and will eat items if you try it on a quest that requires higher faction.

Using a charmed pet works for Turn in's and Chat Prompts.

Generally Bard or Enchanter charms are used due to mob type restrictions be relevant. Low level spells work on any mob level (unknown if the mob has to be lower level then you as suggested from the spell's in game text).

The reason for doing this is because many quest mobs will poof after turn in or after a chat prompt and then have a long respawn timer.

You can charm on your main and then merc swap to do the turn in (might avoid conflicts due to the charmer not having the relevant class).

Resources

P99 guides tend to be a good resource, see https://wiki.project1999.com/Epics.

Similarly, EQ Progression guides tend to be very close to what we have here, although not always 100%. See https://www.eqprogression.com/warrior-1-0-epic-quest/ as an example.

There are a few unique cases where either a skip is avaialable here, the mob is in a slightly different place than expected, or the normal way of interacting with the mob doesn't work (need to FD instead of enchant for a turn in, as an example). It's generally a good idea to ask in OOC if you're feeling stuck
