EVERQUEST II - EPIC QUEST STARTERS

I'd love to offer the world's best Epic Quest Guides, but I can't do it without you all.

On the thread linked below, you can see that I am soliciting help in documenting these Epic Quests... if you are level 80, driven, mildly insane and willing to keep track of names, locs, mob levels, quest steps and like taking screenshots... LET ME KNOW!

I haven't much to offer in return, but for every complete, non-plagiarized Epic Quest guide, I will put the author (or co-authors) in a comic, and maybe get you a special beer stein! A coffee mug for those few who do not like beer...

You know where to find me...

If you find errors, omissions or have something to add or clarify, please post here, send me a PM on my forums or email me (brasse@thebrasse.com).
I will keep editing this list until it is complete and accurate.

===============================================
ADVENTURE CLASSES:

Assassin: Quest starter item: "Mark of the Emissary" in Nektulos Forest, at the Bear Caves (-1702, 25, -774). You must have the "investigate" skill in order to get the quest starter. This skill can be earned in the course of the SoD (Sword of Destiny) quest line, or purchased in Teren's Grasp for just under 9pp.

Berserker: Seek out Apprentice Neemariin (a ghostly kerra) in Sinking Sands, in the caves leading off of the Bay of Anuk (-1026, -230, -1209). He will tell you a story, and a quest called "The Responsibilities of a Berserker's Rage". Travel to Or'Kales' Solitude (an instanced version of Dire Hollow) in Nektulos Forest, wherein you will need to kill the wizard, a rift and the voidlings that spawn from it. (need screenshots!)

Brigand: Body drop from Iksar Insurgents in Jarsath Wastes.

Bruiser: Quest is offered by the Taskmaster in South Freeport, near the West Freeport gate. He will send you to the Champion on the South Freeport Docks, across from the Seafury Buccaneers' ship. (Our BRUISER EPIC series has begun!)

Coercer: Body drop from Mistgobline in Kunzar Jungle (the northeastern corner, just west of City of Mist).

Conjuror: The quest starter, "Psychomalleable Ice" drops from an Elemental Ice Dervish in the Temple of the White Lady in Jarsath Wastes (-2,480, 229, 1592). (confirmed, screenshot of location, mob and item!)

Defiler: Kill Guagua in northeastern Fens of Nathsar, in the water. Talk to the lady on the shore. (need detail, locs, name of NPC, screenshots!)

Dirge: Quill, a body drop from a mob in Sebilis.(need loc, name of mob, item name, screenshots!)

Fury: clickable item in Darklight Woods (191, -43, 176) ( Our FURY EPIC series is now in progress!)

Guardian: See Jimbo in Windstalker Village, requires that you have your Bone Bladed Claymore (HQ reward) with you. If you have lost or sold your BBC, you can buy a new one, as long as you completed the quest at some time. (We now have the Guardian Epic Quest Line writeup started - thanks Jorn!)

Illusionist: Mdani Quloni, a Scorpikis in Jarsath Wastes, near Maiden's (710, -127, 278) gives the riddle/clue for this quest. You will need Sathirian language to understand it; he mentions being trapped inside his own illusion, and talks of the "Maiden's Mask" becoming a prison. The quest starter is "Orb of Deactivation", still waiting to hear where it is obtained. (need info, loc and screenies!)

Inquisitor Take a bunch of friends to Chelsith and kill Kuom'Ziki for the "Defaced Leaflet". Calain wrote in to say that the starter now drops off the Yah-lei Fishermen at the beach in Jarsath Wastes.

Monk: Find Makota Shoda (near 140, -115, 161), who wanders along a wide area along Omen's Call beach in the Fens of Nathsar; you must have "Journal of Wu, Seeker of Enlightenment" and "Teachings of Master Wu" in your inventory when you speak to Master Shoda.(We now have the Monk Epic Quest Line in progress!)

Mystic:
Thanks ta Gruktar of Befallen! Tha Mystic Epic starter is an imprisoned Iksar named Terrus, in Sebilis. Yes, ye kin git to him solo.
Take a Jaguar Totem (cause we don't seem ta have our Mystic Stealth AA yet, hehe)... enter Sebilis, totem up, head to tha mezzanine.
Jump off the left (east) side, being sure ta aim fer tha water.
Take tha tunnel that leads east. When it ends, head straight down till ye see a buncha floaty Sarnak ghosties. At that point, swim out of tha water and head to tha enormous jail cell ye see in tha northeast side of tha room.
Terrus is in tha cell mentioned (-73, -132, 121). Take off yer invis (tha mobs will not reach ye if ye stay close to tha cell door), and talk to Terrus. He will give ye a page of his notes.
This clue is actually easy to decipher, and leads you to hunt down a Timeworn spirit, found behind the City of Mist in Kunzar Jungle - go AROUND the city, no need to fight through it! The rune you loot from it will start the quest proper.
We now have a Mystic Epic Questline started!

Necromancer: Seek out Tosha B'hondus in North Freeport (+5, -37, -110); he mentions his "dead and buried" instructor. Find Qurst (an undead) in Commonlands (-1330, -69, +332). He wants you to get a skull from an Erudite in Neriak. Dartain is found in Neriak (-708, 32, 232); he'll give you the skull, but insists on dueling you. He is 85^^^. Beat him to within 10% of his life and he gives in. Carry on!
(the following info may or may not be relevant: Body Drop from Temple Sentinels at the White Lady's Temple, Jarsath Wastes. It may require that you compelte a ring event with the boss dropping and ornate chest with a White Prism... and then another event at the Red Lord's Temple, which results in a chest drop of a Red Prism.) (details, locs and screenshots would be great here!)

Paladin: Talk to Kaherdin Surechest, who is in the jail downstairs at the West Freeport Militia House in West Freeport (146, -26, 146). He will tell you to seek out Sir Braveblade (-263, -67, 371) in Lesser Faydark, by the water near the Fae Court. The starter itself is "Valeron Dushire's Testimony". The 3rd step is to see Avarona Wenhaver in the Temple of Life in Qeynos. (need screenshots!)

Ranger: "A Blackened Arrowhead", drops off random Trakaraptors in Kunzar Jungle (confirmed)

Shadowknight: North Freeport, in (bottom of?) the mage guild. You will be ambushed by two Brigands, and if you defeat your attackers, they drop "A Hiring Contract" (need locs and some screenies!)

Swashbuckler: In Timorous Deep, at (3,172, 0, 1,116)on the boat that lies off the west coast of Gorowyn Island. You will find a very small parrot in a very large cage. His name is Rrarwk. (confirmed)

Templar: Aliona Maybelle in Teren's Grasp (1,908, 480, -769), in the corner of the courtyard near the collector. She will send you to pick flowers, and then will have you craft an item (level 10 crafting skill). She will then grant you the quest.(need locs and screenshots!)

Troubador: Maestra Orlita (53, 0, 1392) in Thundering Steppes, near the rear of the Centaur Camp by Coldwind Cove (this will be the hint giver, no info on the item starter.)

Warden: You will need to kill a Shifting Elelmental in Kunzar Jungle (-627, -70, 473) and loot a "Shifting Elemental Shard". The respawn timer is 1 hour and 10 minutes. The mob casts invisibility on itself, and is only visible for short periods of time. I am told that "see invisible" does not help. (we now have the Warden Epic Quest Line well underway!)

Warlock: The Inn in East Freeport, above the fireplace, a level 80 Warlock will see a dagger. (need loc and name of Inn, screenshot if possible)

Wizard: "A Dilapidated Journal", body drop from "trash mobs" in Chelsith (a Wizard wrote to note that the drop could take some time to appear for you). This tome needs to be taken to the Library in New Tunaria.(need to confirm mob type and level in Chelsith, loc in New Tunaria)

====================================
CRAFTING CLASSES:
All crafting epics seem to begin in Bathezid's Watch, in Fens of Nathsar. You will neeed to be a level 80 crafter (Adventure level does not matter), and you will need to have completed "New Lands, New Profits" and "High Risks, Higher Profits". I do not yet know how much faction you require with any given group.
