Priest Epic 2.0 Wardem

I hope this is the right place to ask my question. If you can do epic 2.0 without having to do epic 1.0 then I would like to know if the Search for a shard of my unwavering duty (This should be near the last npc you spoke to about your epic 1.0), in a wardens case, has been replaced. Because you can only enter the oak in Darklight Woods when you have done epic 1.

 

My only suggestion would be that if you have a warden who did epic 1.0 CoV you in, or tinker call, or place a guild flag? Assuming you need no interaction with the NPC itself, it should work.

 

I've just done this step on my Fury, who doesn't have epic 1.0. The blocked area of Shadow Oak will let you through without any problems.
