| You say, 'Hail, Eric Von Schnelling'
Eric Von Schnelling seems to creak as he moves. He gives off the air of one that has lived well beyond his years but still has shining bright eyes. He smiles at you, 'Welcome to my humble, temporary and spacious residence. Please, make yourself at home. Feel free to drink my wine and eat the candies that have been given to me out of love and friendship by the Master and his many minions.' You say, 'The Master?' Eric Von Schnelling says 'Him? He's a good guy. He is the only one that has a clue about what it's like to be me. Sure, he's got a bit of power and a ton of servants, but that's not the point. I have some power too. He has seen eternity and faced it down. The rest here, they pretend that eternity is just tomorrow or the day after. They keep their heads down, that's the only way they can go forward. Chumps.' You say, 'Power?' Eric Von Schnelling says 'Ah, power. Now that is a fascinating topic. You're probably not aware that to remain alive as stubbornly as I do requires rather large amounts of power? So much so that I can barely spare any to deal with people that try to kill me. That's ironic, isn't it? Over my long life I've learned some nice ways to get that power. The easiest is just to take the power stored in items. Folks waste a lot of energy building these epic items, precious energy that could be used to help keep me alive. This is a topic that the Master and I have spoken about several times. It's most certainly the reason he holds me in such high regard.' You say, 'Epic?' (With 1.5) Eric Von Schnelling says 'You wouldn't be able to understand such things and, well, you have nothing to offer me. I'll tell you what, you gather up a fully powered item that's worthy of the term 'epic' and come talk to me again.' (With 2.0) Eric Von Schnelling says 'Sure, like that one you have there. I can sense its power. In fact, perhaps we can work out a bargain. I'm here for several reasons, not the least of which is the fascinating conversations. I know that there is a mystical book of great power here called Shadowspine. I also know that it is weaker than it was when it was created. Pages have been, um, exercised from it and lost. These pages hold a power that make my [work] much easier.' You say, 'What work?' Eric Von Schnelling says 'I don't know that I'd call it work, exactly. But since I already have . . . Anyway, the process of devouring a powerful item requires a large amount of energy. The net gain is nothing to sneeze at, but it's not as much energy as I'd like. These pages can be used like keys to unlock that power much more easily. Each page is usually dedicated to a style of magic, so they tend to only unlock certain types of power. If you can bring me a page that matches with your epic item then maybe we can work out a [deal].' You say, 'A deal?' Eric Von Schnelling says 'Yup, a deal. If you give me a page, I'll use it. If it's the right page for your own epic item, I'll channel a bit of the extra energy I get into your item. That should make it a bit stronger. Either way, though, if you bring me a page I'll certainly use it, it's up to you to have the item in your hand that you want me to make better. You are starting to weary an old man. I get bored talking about work all the time. Is there anything else you'd like to discuss? If not, why don't you start looking for those pages, eh?' The pages he's looking for are from Tier 2 encounters in the Demi-Plane of Blood: Invocation of Death's Shadow (melees), dropped from The Performer's chest Invocation of Eternity (priests), dropped from Roley DeFarge's chest Invocation of Night (casters), dropped from Tris Wallows III's chest Invocation of the Last Dawn (hybrids), dropped from Devlin Rochester's chest Upon handing in the correct page: Eric Von Schnelling says 'Well, this is exactly what I need. Hang around and watch me work, if you'd like. Keep that epic of yours in your hand and I'll make sure to channel some of my power into it. If you don't have it with in your hand, well that's unfortunate.' Eric Von Schnelling draws the power out of the page and channels it into the staff in his hands. The staff pulses with power for a moment, then that power is pulled into Eric himself. As the ritual finishes, the once mighty staff is turned to dust that fades away before it even touches the ground. Eric Von Schnelling says 'Ah, now that was refreshing! Thank you for that, I feel a dozen years younger.' You receive an invisible (non-removable) augmentation to your epic 2.0. The name of your invisible augmentation corresponds to the name of your epic 2.0: Bard - Vesagran Shard of the Ancients Beastlord - Spiritcaller Shard of the Ancients Berserker - Vengeful Shard of the Ancients Cleric - Divinity Shard of the Ancients Druid - Brambles Shard of the Ancients Enchanter - Eternal Shard of the Ancients Magician - Primal Shard of the Ancients Monk - Transcended Shard of the Ancients Necromancer - Deathwhisper Shard of the Ancients Paladin - Nightbane Shard of the Ancients Ranger - Aurora Shard of the Ancients Rogue - Nightshade Shard of the Ancients Shadowknight - Innoruuk's Shard of the Ancients Shaman - Heyokah Shard of the Ancients Warrior - Kreljnok's Shard of the Ancients Wizard - Power Shard of the Ancients | |

Oh, but it's not 1.5, it's an upgrade to 1.0.
In other words, who cares how people choose to refer to it?
Alliance of Hope

cleric 1.0 remains in their possession when earning the 1.5 hehe :p
hate to burst your bubble :p

When basing namecalling on intelligence, one would be wise to spell check...

A useful effect might have been of use I guess.
sh*te Happens then the CR
Not sure about a waste of time though, 30 HP/Mana/End and a tiny bump to resists IS worth doing a hail and turn-in assuming you are raiding these mobs anyway. And at least the way they worked the aug, it doesn't take up a slot--that would have been a waste.
Overall, it's not too bad a way to keep pace with continued expansions, as long as their next effort affects ratio, crits or healing...
The following are the pages you need:
Invocation of Eternity is for the priests (cler, druid, shaman) - Drops from Roley DeFarge's chest in Demi Plane
Invocation of Death's Shadow is for pure melee (war, rog, monk, ber) - From The Performer event's chest in Demi Plane
Invocation of the Last Dawn is for hybrids (pal, sk, beastlord, ranger, bard) - From Devlin Rochester's chest in Demi Plane
Invocation of the Night is for casters (Wiz, Mage, Necro, Enc) - From Tris Wallows' chest in Demi Plane
You give your Invocation page to Eric Von Schnelling and you get the following text:
Eric Von Schnelling says 'Well, this is exactly what I need. Hang around and watch me work, if you'd like. Keep that epic of yours in your hand and I'll make sure to channel some of my power into it. If you don't have it with in your hand, well that's unfortunate.'
Eric Von Schnelling draws the power out of the page and channels it into the staff in his hands. The staff pulses with power for a moment, then that power is pulled into Eric himself. As the ritual finishes, the once mighty staff is turned to dust that fades away before it even touches the ground.
Eric Von Schnelling says 'Ah, now that was refreshing! Thank you for that, I feel a dozen years younger.'
Eric Von Schenlling may be or not be up in Dreadspire. The rotation for named NPC seems to be around 12 game hours or roughly 36 real minutes. If he's not up, you may be waiting this or more. He can pop in numerous places but mainly the guest rooms and the dining room.
Additionally, you may do this with your epic aug'ed.

Or maybe they just decided against augs all together and just remade the item entirely, with the datamined augs as leftovers? *Shrugs*
If Eric took the weapon and exchanged it for an upgraded version the augments in the old weapon would be lost. I bet SOE did it this way to prevent petitions of Epic 2.0 owners for reimbursement of their augments after trade :P
PS: You can see that's it's an augment and not a whole new weapon from the fact that there are no 2nd entries for the epics 2.0 as they don't change their names when you do this quest.

Plainswalker for Darkwind - Antonius Bayle
Nedrom
Club Fu, Bristlebane
But at anyrage the PiC Aug will fit in to any slot.. Type30 or not.. that adds a bunch of HP/Stats ect to your EPic
I recall SOE claiming the epics would be "customizable" back before OoW. Maybe this is a case of delayed implementaion.
