I'm still working out a few dead links, but should be mostly up and running now

Its also not listed that this Epic is not equippable till level 65.. I just finished my epic at lvl 62 and cant equip just yet . I collected all the items for prequest solo at 62. All the fights were done with 80 necro, 80 mage, 80 cleric and 62 necro. And yes I do mean all even Tarlang. Took me bout a week to collect all the items solo. then it took about 2 hours to do turn ins and do all fights. Innovation piece was the worst to get must have killed a Hundred A scrap Collectors. Another Necro epic emerges and Karana cries. Muwahahahaha

Well it's been 2.5 yrs since I started this epic and tonight as of 11:54 pm MST I have got it from the help of Nefarious Order and the great people in it I now wield it!!!! Thank you for the help and I will be sure to work on the RGC's for ya hhehehehe.

I feel uba even tho I know I got a long way to go heh, been gone for 2 yrs and got left in the dust gear wise.

N.O. Rocks!!!!

I found there are more mobs then the 4 drexel listed that drop the zaxtril ore. I got some off a bloodguard near the bridge as well. I think any bloodguard can drop them as any crazed miner? I got my 4 ores after killing about 30 mobs if that? was good exp for leveling my pants up :p

Although it's incomplete (because my own trip through this quest is incomplete), I've received a number of requests for a 1.5 walkthrough, so here it is, in preliminary form. As I complete the quest, this page will be updated.

Grats Descending Essence of Luclin on completing 5 Necromancer epic 1.5s in one night. Now before too many folks go off on how minor of an accomplishment this is due to the 1 year since this expansion was released, Descending Essence is a very casual family guild. Raid consisted max at 39 toons of which 7 were boxed characters with a raid average of 67th level. Thanks to Jastrah for coming out and helping her friends in DE.

To give perspective on the guild, it has with the assistance of another guild just recently become elementally flagged so we are not a large raid guild, just a large guild.

For the folks whom are still working on this but believe that it is beyond the capabilities of your guild or that it is amazingly out of reach have faith. It may be out of your reach today, but with time and guildmates willing to help their friends, this epic is very obtainable. Good Luck to all working on it.

I did my prequest yesterday with some guild members.

After talking with the tank, he said the high end warewolf hit the hardest. He said all the other mobs were cake. (Warrior w/ 11k hps buffed and 1900 ac).

For the warewolves I had everyone run to the side of the hill due South of the NPC. I hailed the NPC and FD immediately. I was watching from the hill w/ my 2-boxed Shammy. The warewolves came from the East and stopped right on top of me. The Bard came up and did an AE to get all of their attention. He kited them around in circle and we picked out the lvl 69 warewolf. Druid got the lvl 69 warewolf's attention and pulled to camp. Bard ran the others off somewhere and faded them off.

After reading the post above, I was under impression the 69 warewolf is immune to magic. Not the case. I was 2-boxing a Shammy and tried to slow 6 times with Cloud of Grummus (disease). even after Malos and Necro disease debuff. Never landed. Just for the heck of it I tried Turgur's and it partially landed. I was also able to land life tap nukes (magic based). My poison nuke was only hitting for 500 instead of the normal 2k so that is when I decided to try my life tap nuke and it was hitting for 1300 to 1500.

To help with the melee, I had the Shammy in the same group with the Bard, Warrior and Monk. He kept them buffed with Spirit of Leopard (69 DoN melee proc).

Configuration: Warrior, 3 Clerics, Druid, Bard, Monk, 2 Chanters (one botted), Botted Shammy and me (Necro). All toons were 69 to 70 and only the botted toons are time geared. All others are OoW/DoN at best.

Definately bring a tracker with you!

Start to finish it took us just over an hour. Good grief I spent over two days camping the Herbalist and never got that drop! Screw the duck stick!

Two more fights to go!

From my observation the pet lasts one minute regardless of how hard it is hit. It heals everytime it casts and though not a lot it has made a tremendous difference in my groups. They love it when he is used and he is usable every 10 minutes. He only hits around 20 to 50 but he is really there for healing. I even used him in PVP which was a nice bonus to heal me as we fought. If you have other AA's they both won't work one cancels the other out at least it has when I tried to stack them.

Prequest to 1.5, I know this has been a long time coming sorry. Guild keeps me busy. I was going to complete 1.0 but a friend encouraged me to do the prequest. When I first read it I felt it was tougher than 1.0 and 1.5. To my amazement it really wasn't if you have the right people.

Warewolves - Bard is a MUST! Hail and FD have the Bard kite them very far away and send one back to bind. Chanter mez engage and kill. Rinse and repeat. We did this twice cause I screwed up my turn in so don't forget to drop invis and be a dummy Necro like me! Worked the same both times by round two we were efficent. Wee have 1 Cleric, 2 Chanter, 1 Bard, 1 Tank, 2 Necro's and 2 Rangers. Not sure I needed more than a group but my guild is killer with helping so more the merrier. Be prepared to die a lot in the prequest as the hailing Necro bind close to save time.

All the other mobs really are one groupable in the prequest. We at times had more just cause people wanted to come.

1.5 heads up! Paladin quest is rough because they stun. That means as a Necro you probably can't kite them efficiently. A druid probably isn't gonna be able to stay alive due to stuns. A bard is who I used. He had trouble holding agro but he was able to survive the stuns. So basically we had 1 Bard, 2 Rangers and myself. I died a ton just due to getting agro and being stunned. Otherwise it was easy. I bound close, popped back rezed and rejoin the fight. One Paladin is very tough with at on of hit points he was the hardest but definitely doable! Rangers really help in all the fights due to the range dps they can provide.

GOD fight, I never lived to see how it was done. I died every single time I hailed. We failed the first time due to lacking my dps. A wizzie came to replace me since we knew I would die. 1 group easily did him then.

Final fight what a bite!!!! If you could hold him in one place you could disk and win as our raid leaders screams at the top of his lungs!!!! You can't so he easily rapes your raid. Don't even attempt this without 40+ standard geared POP progressed people. Probably less if your well geared elementally and raid a lot together. Key is keeping up the tank period. Without a tank he simply rapes each person till your gone. Hail and FD, Tank arrowed him to the raid and we fought him on the pathway not in the round ring that was cleared. We tried to use the zone wall to keep him at least in one area. Get your CH line going well before the tank engages or the quads will one round him and it is over. Have stand by tanks to engage and hope your heal line is fast enough to recover to the next tank. Disk, heal and hope for the best. We failed once, won once, failed three times and won once more. We now have two epic Necros in the guild. By the last two times we had gotten a lot better and I think we could do him the first time now. Oh and most important have your Chanters run a rune line it made the whole event possible.

This is just my experience, my guild is elemental access but not elementally geared up yet. So we are sporting decent POP progression gear and some elemental. No GOD but a few OOW pieces. I think when you read that time geared did this and that it leaves you without hope. You can do it without time geared people you just have to have numbers, patience and diligence!

I personally love the graphic. It is extremely distinguishable. As for the pet it works on mine used it last night in fire. I haven't looked at the other classes epic but if I had to guess we got some of our mana nerfed to offset out lich abilities. But that is only my personal thought.

it seems that necro's 1.5 has far less mana/hp then the other 1.5's. Look at the SK's. They get like 400mana, chanters get 350 i think. so how come we get 200? And has the pet even been fixed yet?

they added a type 4 aug slot on yesterdays patch (13/10-04) and they made the skeleton look like a red one with 2 swords

It is nice to have, but still i think it should of had more augs, in fact i might rather hahttp://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=30315ve . But dont know how good this clicky effect is, kinda a wait and see thing
