The clickie haste is pretty vicious, seems like it nearly doubles my attack speed. But be warned: the clickie is a bard song, and as such it only lasts 18 seconds, so to use it, you must keep it equipped at all times. VERY annoying, since the stats on it don't even make it to par with elab defiant (or intricate for that matter)

Can anyone give me a way to do this as an Iksar? w/o having to do tons of faction

I finished the monk epic in 2 days, kunark pipe consuming the most amount of time. I used my main to do all the fight, only make sure your monk loots the items for the robe of the whistling fist resulting in the book of the celestial fist ( needed for the final turn). I tried to MQ this for my level 14 monk..lol. It didnt work. My demon fang got turned in but the npc will not accept the book. So I have to do all the fights over again. Oh well. My main is a lvl 75 war with 17k/3200ac unbuffed. Soloed all the fights. Good luck. Thanks Aegishopi for the run down.

I completed my epic 1.0 last night on my alt monk. Targin & Raster were pains as usual.
The picture needs to be updated. Epic clicky effect has a required level of 50! I shoulda kept the robe awhile longer.

Raster I spent another 100 hours or so for about 6 hours a night on weekday and about 14 hours a day on Sat / Sun. Interestingly enough it never spawned when I had my already Epic'd 67 Monk waiting on him. about 6 spawns after I brought my then 44 monk down there, it spawned (and i got a bag of sewn evil eye from the giant eyeball not far away.) Perhaps raster pops quicker if you're a lower level and dont appear to be farming, or maybe it just happened that way.. heh (Spawn 4AM, despawn 7AM, Spawn 8AM*Kill*, spawn 7PM*kill : Eq Day = 72 minutes, 3 minutes per EQ hour...you can do the math and figure out to the minute when raster/Ph'r will spawn, typically 30 minutes between spawns so go do something else and come when the timer dings!)

Targin wasn't too bad, about 12 hours total. Basically left the beastlord sitting at the king camp and watched a couple movies everything attacks him and pet kills - looked over and a humanoid corpse was laying there - looted the book and took off. (This didn't work in Guk because i'm not KoS, and wouldn't want to kill the 4AM Ph'r anyhow)

It took awhile for Brother Qwuinn and Brother Zephyl to spawn - Qwuinn was in southern part of the zone, below Splitpaw, when I did Lambi's he was as far north as you can go. Bring a tracker!

I did my fights before turning in the robe to Kairain so I could keep the clicky robe as long as possible. Then went and did all 3 Kairain parts at once to get epic.

Lheao Basically told me to go away and kill tadpolls, didn't do the speech however he took the robe and the page and gave me what I came for.

Eejag, Gwan, & Trunt were solo'd with 70 BST. Final fights in LOIO were done with BST, My monk needing epic and a 66 necro who asked to help when I asked for DMF to spawn the event. Couldn't slow any of the 3, Pet easily offtanked. Final mob has a 10 second stun which could be bad if you have low HP and runs at 20%.

FYI: At level 46 you can get Experience grouped with a level 70. I almost got a whole level fighting to the sleeping ogre.

Well I figured it out you cant have any hp buffs nor haste buffs from a BST on while trying to use the fists. Once I took these off i wa hitting like a mad man on speed. I hope my stupidty helps someone in the future.

The slot is missing from the picture =)

uumm hey guys, has anyone noticed the monk ornate gauntlets has the same exact effect and comparable stats? I think im going to quit my epic and let someone else have the targin and raster MQs, you need them and your on tholuxe send a tell to Neostas or Rilion. And YES owning this and clicking the song will add dmg, if you take a look at the effect it raises AC, ATK, AND gives you the 41% haste

Just got epic about 15 minutes ago for my lvl 47 monk, i can confirm the effect does not proc at 47. Im guessing im going to have to wait till lvl 50 or so

you sure? though its a short duration buff, it doesnt go to the SD window (song) besides that it just may stack anyways....just how shaman's haste stacks with chanter haste.

so are you saying the eyepatch stacks with the epic? are you 100% sure? all i know is that i have eyepatch on my beastlord and it counts as shammy type haste, so it still stacks with enchanter haste.

i'm not too sure on all of this, but if it does stack with eyepatch, time to camp stormfeather :P

Newest EPIC monk on Tarew Marr, Cathan Kazimyre.
Got epic at around 7:30 PM EST January 3, 2004.
Thanks to all my buds in CoR for helping me out.

Will this stack with Eyepatch of Plunder haste?

The advice given above is to hot key the right click effect with the kick. I know how to invoke skills in a hotkey, as in

/pause 3,/doability 7 (flying kick)
/doabiltiy 5 (disarm)

and so on ... what would be the command in a hotkey for invoking a right-click on an item like the epic gloves?

will stack with visions of grandure FYI

I understand that if a monk wearing the epic gloves weilds weapons in his primary and secnondary slots, he will get the damage/delay of the weapons he is holding and not the damage/delay of the epic gloves.

What I want to know is can he equip non-weapon items in his primary and secondary slots (i.e. hand held items, shields, etc.) and still use the epic gloves as hand to hand weapons?

If not, that kinda sucks. It means a monk is basically losing two inventory slots on his char if he uses these. So he loses the benefit of the stats he could get from items/weapons in his primary and secondary slots.

after camp mobs, for so many hours, i got my epic done!!!
And here we go, get the headband, and sash, was easy, so easy, i sold my purple headband 2 times for 5k, each time(i love money), camp targin, was not hard iden, raster, lol, 36 hours, no sleep, i get him, and then...i sold idol, for 24k, to a desesperate monk, so, what i did, i shout at pok, i was ready to pay 8k, to a group, to help me kill brother quinn, and, ban, loot at the first kill; pipes, was bad, too, karnor's was hours, to make pawbuster pop, chardok, lol, i try 2 times, no one like to go there, so i pay 5 k, for chardok pipe, the rest was so easy...all kill's only took me a full group, sure, the last one i have a warrior65, and a necro 65, druid 60, so, i was cool, hehe...
Dont blame me for sell, and buy so many times, i did, wherever it take to do my epic, i am a monk 54, first character, so i think i didnt do too bad...i had a good help from people,that i never saw before, thanks god...lol.Good luck to all!

"Haste Explained - By Xaas Swifttail

For those unfamiliar, something that has a "Haste" effect is something that makes you faster, something that gives you a greater speed in one way or another. As far as EverQuest goes, Haste more accurately effects how fast you attack. The speed in which you attack is represented by your weapons "Delay" attribute (Del). Delay is measured in tenths of seconds. For instance, a weapon with a Delay of 20 would attack every two seconds. Likewise, a weapon with a Delay of 44 would attack every 4.4 seconds. Going by that system is not 100% accurate because there are many decimal values that are not taken into consideration (ie a Delay of 44 might actually be 44.013). Excluding these decimal values alters your results slightly, but usually only by a maximum of one or two tenths. It is a good system to use, but like I said, not 100% accurate.


A common misconception is that a Haste effect directly alters the Delay of your weapons, when in fact it doesn't. Haste is measured in Damage Increase, NOT Delay Decrease. An item or spell that adds a 40% Haste effect does NOT lower your weapons Delay by 40%, but rather increases the amount of Damage you do by 40% over a period of time. Another point of notice is that Item Haste and Spell Haste combine. For instance if you had a Spell cast on you that adds 20% Haste and an Item equipped that adds 17% Haste your total Haste would be 37%. This does not work in all cases because many Items and Spells have rescritctions where they will not stack with eachother.


Although Haste deals with Damage Increase and not Delay Decrease, you CAN calculate what your weapon Delay would be during the time period you are Hastened. In determining your weapon Delay with a given Haste percentage there are three steps. To illustrate these steps we will pretend that you are using a Fighting Baton (8 Dmg/20 Delay) with a Flowing Black Silk Sash equipped (21% Haste). The first step is to add 100 to the Haste percentage. In this case the result would be 121 (100 + 21 = 121). The second step is to divide that number (121) into 100. The result would be roughly .83 (100 / 121 = .83). The third and final step is to multiply the previous results (.83) by your weapon Delay (20). The result is 16.5 (20 * .83 = 16.5). We have now determined that a Fighting Batons 8/20 with 21% Haste become 8/17 (16.5) during the period of time that you are Hastened.


Here are a few examples of this method of determining haste effects.


[Delay 30 with 40% Haste]
Step One - Add 100 to the Haste Percentage.

100 + 40 = 140

Step Two - Divide the previous result (140) into 100.

100 / 140 = .71

Step Three - Multiply the previous result (.71) by the weapon Delay.

71 * 30 = 21.3

Finished - A Delay of 30 with a 40% Haste becomes a Delay of 21.3.


[Delay 15 with 85% Haste]
Step One - Add 100 to the Haste Percentage.

100 + 85 = 185

Step Two - Divide the previous result (185) into 100.

100 / 185 = .54
.54 * 15 = 8.1

Finished - A Delay of 15 with an 85% Haste becomes a Delay of 8.1.


[Delay 44 with 20% Haste]
Step One - Add 100 to the Haste Percentage.

100 + 20 = 120

Step Two - Divide the previous result (120) into 100.

100 / 120 = .83

Step Three - Multiply the previous result (.83) by the weapon Delay.

.83 * 44 = 36.5

Finished - A Delay of 44 with a 20% Haste becomes a Delay of 36.5.


As you can see, determining the effects of Haste on your weapons Delay using this method is really quite simple. Below are a few important things to bare in mind when considering Haste and Delay.


[Important Facts]
- Delay is measured in tenths of seconds.
- Item Haste and Spell Haste combine (generally).
- Haste is measured in Damage Increase, not Delay Decrease.
- The formula for determining Delay with Haste is: Delay * (100 / (100 + Haste%))

I am a SK so I don't know much about the monk epic but I was just wondering. These go in the hand slot? Whistling Fists go in the melee spot? These have a clickbale haste spell for %40 haste? WF Have a clickable bard song for %25 haste? Add a nice haste item and you have have %80-%100+ haste without anyones help right. Of course I am going under the impression that spells, songs, and items haste are allowed to stack. Someone correct me if I am wrong but that is some amazing self haste.

I just want to say that I hate Raster!..lol
I spent forever in lower guk killing the ph at the appropriate times and this guy does not want to show up. If anyone sees this guy kill him and let me know so at least i will feel better knowing he died. thanks
