    Epic Weapon 2.0 quests are now active in EQ2 and it is up to us players to figure out where they start, all the intervening steps, the main quests which are Archetypical (Mage), and the subquests which are class-specific and tie into the Epic 1.0 quests and lore. This is the place to discuss, research, and speculate about past and present lore and clues to the location of these quests!

    Maybe we can get a list going of zones that we've extensively checked (hovering over every object, kill every type of mob, hail every NPC) for quest starters and work together to eliminate them one by one?

    Edit: List started, see my first post

    What did ya'll do for Epic 1.0? I mean that was a dagger on wall for some of us right? Was that just dumb luck that someone found it?
     
  6. Inire

    Inire Not really an evil duck, just misunderstood.

    pretty sure someone from SOE made a hint for the dagger one.

    The mob drops and the hails went well.

    Exhaustive search complete of Neriak's Spire and Dockside Markets
    • Hailed all NPCs / Checked every merchant.
    • Covered every square inch of these two areas to include docks.
    • Hovered over every object and clicked on any objects that were interactive.
    Exhaustive search complete of Neriak's "New Foreign Quarter"

      • Hailed all NPCs / Checked every merchant.
      • Covered every square inch of these two areas to include docks.
      • Hovered over every object and clicked on any objects that were interactive.
      • FOUND 1 item of interest, I have never noticed it before nor has it been used in any of my older quests. I had a friend who is a priest come check and he could see the tomb but not click on it. His home city is also Neriak. However when I click on it I receive the message...
      "You attempt to grab the tomb, but receive a shock when you touch it. Best to leave it for now".
    No one I have spoken too knows of this tomb. I am posting it here to see if someone else is aware or if it could be a potential for later in the Epic 2.0.

    /way 86.54, 23.99, 102.70

    Definitely not the starter though.

    As a priest I can see this book but I don't get a message on it.

    The book in Neriak is also there on Progression Server, so unless they made a mistake and put Epic 2.0 on Progression server it not part of Epic 2.0.

    Can we get some more contributions please, I know I'm not the only one looking.

    All of the clues/hints found so far point or at least have necromancy / alchemy / dark arts type relations.
    The new collections refer to potions of transcendence of life and death, the door in the academy of arcane sciences, the tome in the alchemy building, a necromancer NPC in Fens...etc etc. Lots of necromantic looking stuff going on in that secret room Chosooth was at in the Torsis zone too, with the sarcophagus object.

    I've exhausted all my ideas already.. :( those that have been stated already and I even went ahead and cleared Shard of Hate and Fear just for kicks if there was anything but no dice there

    when you are on the quest to find choosoth in the hidden room..clicking on sarcophagus gives a message saying something about the language being older than (list of languages ..dont remeber exact) ..
    anyone remember the exact message..cant get it after doing the quest

    I must have missed this... I must be blind. What quest. Can you quote the quest name here. I have an Alt I made just for running old quests for text clues.

    I literally have no idea where to even start looking in order to help. :( I can confirm that my Conjy was able to click the book but I got the same message as everyone else.

    I also checked out the hidden cache that the fighters were talking about, nothing there for my mage, unless I'm missing a prereq.

    Ok, maybe we should start checking all library/laboratories of alchemy?
    Also, who can recall converstion between Xalgoz and Rile on the OF public? Maybe we missed something from this?

    I've not found anything in Erudin Research Halls or Library. Nothing in Paineel itself or in the Qeynos mage tower. Looked around in Seb found nothing there too. Thurgadin, Maldura...nada.
