Orb of Mastery



How hard will it be to complete? I have pretty much everything except the last steps of the quest. I remember getting the staff of elemental mastery out of kedge keep, I remember going on tons of raids to plane of hate trying to get the staff of elemental mastery earth but was unsucessful.
Is it worth trying to complete without a guild?

the pet is nice tho :p

The weap in the background i am carrying is the Epic.
The Epic Pet is like an Air pet ... xcept vs POP pets it will be evenly matched and anything pre POP it will kill!
Gotta love it, actually. Summon the orb, use its effect to summon a pet, and destroy it. Summon another orb. When the pet's about to die, really easy to just clickie your orb and replace him :) If you have the AA for Suspend Minion and Suspend one before hand, you have one pet and two pets just waiting, manaless!

i keep burnout on my pets, as well as kindle (if you're a mage and you don't, shame on you). i've recently aquired Earthen Strength (lvl 55 Aura. very nice 5% str to pet)... the Epic Pet (mine, anyway) quads 84 damage regularly, often times back to back (to back to back to back...).
i've got Servant of Marr, but i've never really liked the water pet line. i've yet to get the 63 fire pet, but it's next in line and will, too, be compared. i'll update. same with the 65 earth pet.
so, for anyone wondering (i'm replying to an old message, i know. but people still have questions. i did...), the Epic pet, from my experience, is about twice as good as the Ward of Xegony. honestly, get the Orb of Mastery and sell any Ward of Xegony spell you might get. about 5pp sounds right for a worthless summon, eh?

Thanks
Hits for 81 damage, bashes for 40-ish, regularly procs a DD that does 143 damage, casts a three-second stun every twelve seconds that does about 100 damage, and casts a 50 point damage shield on itself. Tanking greens, that maxes out around 300dps, but drops off on mobs that still give XP, and drops off quite a bit if it's not tanking and getting the damage shield damage... either way, it's still a nice damage output on mobs below 60.
Pretty much obsolete with the OoW pets, but prior to that he's very good to have in zones where mobs are below level 60 (and uber if you get him while you're still in the 50s: 'Where'd the add go?' 'Oh, Fluffy soloed him while we were killing the other mob' :))

It's too bad, I mean, epics are something the guild's higher level chars (or lower level, depending on the guild) should do together, and by the time I get to his level, we'll have the guild ready to go for epic quests and stuff...
Just remember what guild leader sacrifice in order to make the guild better, stronger, and centralized in their leadership.
I'd just like to say a big thanks to all the guild leaders out there that sacrifice through personal time and in game fun for the sake of their guildies. I tried to own a guild once, but the people were just...
It's hard to understand unless you've been there and fought the long, hard battle that is guild leadership, especially when a guild just starts, and raids, events, and officer placement is decided solely by you. It's difficult, to say the least, and those that do manage to do it without ending up with a new coat, if you know what I mean...

But yes this pet kicks ass, some magicians still use it in some cases at level 65.

One of the mages in my guild got his epic, and a couple of days later he came to a raid in City of Mist to kill Lord Rak to complete MY epic.
The Epic pet tore Rak a new one. I didn't even keep agro long enough to die. This was the ONLY pet we had on Rak.
Now, I'm a Shaman, I'm not familiar with Magician pets firsthand, but I can tell you my guildmate was really amazed at how much more powerful the Epic pet was, and he's lvl 60.
Get the Epic. You won't be sorry.

for instance a druid healing and chloro on them?
and is there a difference in this between necro(undead) and mages pets?
Yes, PC's can buff each others' pets to a point. "Pet only" buffs can only buff YOUR pet, not someone elses' regardless of class. But anything you can cast on another player (short of a Lev, pets can't lev for some reason except the Air Pet and Spectre pet) you can cast on your pet.

No epic is better than another..some are more usefull(i mean utility), some are purely offensive (rogue monk MAGE etc..) and the fact is the mage epic is one of the hardest epic in the game , so the reward is on par with the difficulty. I hope you do realize how newbie you are when you say " a mage is just usefull for coh and rods", and you get something to feed your empty brain
Thanks ,
That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard out of anyone over level 30. Are you high? "They're all equal?" Let's take the paladin epic for an example...
http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=3572
You can even buy weapons in the bazaar better than that sorryass waste of bandwidth. "Oh, but it's probably one of those real easy to get ones..." Guess again. I know people that spent over a YEAR at lvl 52 doing naggy/vox raids to get both halves of the book, and that's hardly all there is to the quest. It's pretty much universally agreed upon by the paladin community that the epic is an amazing waste of time and effort, as you can spend 1/10th the time and get something far, far superior. It's strictly for RPing, and if you've got spell effects off it doesn't even have a blade graphic. Now compare this to epics of some casters, such as wizard, that you'll probably never bank. There's no comparison.
I'm sure there's other epics as sad as the paladin's, I'm just sure of theirs since I had one for a while. I'd imagine a lot of melees have equally neglectable epics. Please, buy a clue next time before you start calling other people stupid.
I dont get post like this, you act as though you know everything yet you are just spewing BS. And besides... CoH and Rods are pretty darn useful, Wizzys can out nuke, so I mean its what makes mages unique.
And some epics are definitly better then others =P Wizzy and Cleric come to mind. Chanter epic too if you're in a small guild and under level 60.
And I dont know if it was a bad word filter, but if you're gonna cuss, have the gusto to cuss, dont use $#%#@% its just childish.

Rumor has it that if you cast new pets as the old one are dying, you can even kill Naggy in time.
Maybe you could call it the pet-bolt technique?
I was helping with a CR after a botched attempt on Naggy and was sitting on the far side of the pit. Some one brought Naggy to the door, I got hit by the AOE, and a few minutes later got summoned and banished by Naggy.
Gorenaire works in a similar fashion. IF you are KOS to Gore, she will track you, even from the opposite corner of the zone. But until you do any dmg, or you get hit by her AOE, she won't summon you. BTW, she doesn't AOE until some one hits her.

Of course it would never be as impressive as the monk and druid that killed Bristlebane in a 6+ hour fight.
Edit: Just had to mention that the AA skills for mages seem to a very great extent to support chainpetting - which is great since chainpetting doesn't work in groups with tanks (not great - being sarcastic). *Sigh* guess we'll just have to get used to being secondary offense and manabatteries in group/raid situations.

And the act of summoning interupts spell casting. Therefore, without someone else to hold aggro momentarily, you cannot chain cast on a summoning mob, especially naggy.
I could be wrong, but I've tried it against lesser summoning mobs, and you get owned :(.
1) It is SUMMONED, that means that you can never lose it, unlike other epics. It dosent matter how good your epic is if you lose it. That can happen with a mage.
2) Because of the fact that you are summoning a pet that can cast and attack with weapons, you have, in essance, a party member with 3000hp, this could also be said to be the equivilant to getting an aditional 3000hp for yourself. If you have the pet, you dont really need a tank either.
You are entitled to your opinions, but I think that an epic you can lose is VERY nice to have.

therefore our epic is an OFFENSIVE peice, and wont have any "melee buff here" as an effect.
st00pid self involved melee classes... they think everyone and thing exists just for them.

you can give nodrops to npcs and pets...but they wont use them or have them for loot...and i've seen pet its no where near as big as a HG silly. by levitate i think he was referring to how pets float
primary so pet couldnt dual wield even if he would use it, you just destroy it to summon a new one(imagine how cool it would be to see the epic pet with 2 of the mage epics running err floating around with rainbow trail though hehe)
anon i some how doubt it would let u do the pally epic in the first place...and that you could find people to help you when its just for a twink
hehe ever wonder why all the lvl 60s forget to post name/server..."LvL 60 Magician. Pet is GREAT i Can Solo in PoH if im careful. My pet can take the stuff in PoH easy. I also have 9 Gm items that might help." - Anonymous...if you even had any(or 9) gm items how does that make your epic pet solo better? and does one of these port you to PoH?...lets look at stats real quick, pet lvl 50, plane mob lvl, 49-52 usually...plane mob wins, pet max 67 plane mob max in the 100s..plane mob wins, pet hp 3000 plane mob hp 11000...plane mob wins...so explain how you pet does this again(ds and spells dont make up for that much)
1) Your pet will hit much faster than the plane mob, more than twice as fast actually, maybe even three-four times as fast.
2) Your pet will proc a 167-damage spell every two or three hits or so.
3) Your pet will stun the plane mob every twelve seconds or so.
4) The plane mob does fifty damage to itself every time he hits your pet.
5) Add your own spells (Say, 3000-4000 damage, maybe even heals for 900 damage).
I think the mage can stand a chance, sure thing. If he's careful of course!

not U thanks :)
the pet looks like an air pet, it is about 2 times the size of the 51-60 pets, not nearly the size of a giant, levi, like with all pets does not actualy effect the pet as its an NPC. so it stays at the same level.
it does have about 3000hps, maybe a bit more, and a 50 point dmaage shield it casts on itself. the stun and DD both are nice, the stun is cast alot. very nice spell
as for giving NO DROP items to NPCs yeah you can, but the NPC (or pet in this case) will not equip the item. except for the POD, he equips all items. you CAN NOT get the epic pet to wield the epic staff after your done with it. nor will any pet for that matter, or the warrior epics...
the pet can and will killa level 60 warrior in a battle if the dmaage shield is left on, if the damage shield is removed the pet will get the warrior to around 40-50% before it dies. (pet fully buffed w/ muzzle, war with ageo and SoS)
