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%. Class abilities, such as flying kick or backstab, will gain triple attack.

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.

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
