paladin 1.0 Epic quest?Follow

It depends on why you want it. There are better weapons that can be bought in the bazaar or grouped. I finished my 1.0 just after OOW came out, even though I already had better, because I saw it as a milestone and it was something I could be proud of. The hardest part about this quest is finding the dragons up and getting them to drop the parts of the book, though sometimes you can find a book of scale for sale in the bazaar (its droppable).

If you can gather a couple groups to help you with some of the parts for the pre-quest for the 1.5 then yeah I'd say go that route. You can always go back and solo the 1.0, again dependent on finding the dragons up. The only part of the 1.0 that you absolutely need someone else is the port up to Plane of Sky.

Unless it was changed, Call of the Hero doesn't work in Plane of Sky.

When I helped a paladin with this part we just left a character at the /hail npc to spawn the one he needed --when he was in position on the correct island.

Yeah. We actually did this in between day one and day two of a PoS raid (yes. I'm that "old"). We stopped at pegasus island because we wanted to take out the boss a second time (necro epic piece I think? Don't remember). Someone else suicided, then ported back up, hailed the NPC to cause Irak to spawn, then I did the turnin. Then we rezzed her back to her body to continue the raid the next day.

Honestly, it's vastly easier today since the keys no longer poof when you leave the plane like they used to. You just need a wiz to help you. Have the wiz do the NPC hail (IIRC, there's some cash involved too, so do the research on this). If you have your keys, just invis and run up to pegasus island. Irak spawns right inside the main building (just in the doorway).

If you don't have keys, you'll need a wizard to port up, and either a necro or a SK and cleric with keys to get you to the island. It's actually pretty simple then. Have the necro/sk-cleric hang out on pegasus island. You hail the NPC and get Irak to spawn. Then attack one of the NPCs. You die. Necro/sk summons your corpse. Necro or cleric then rezzes you.

Alternatively, you can just fight your way up. Today, it's doable with a small group really...


The hardest part of the epic 1.0 is getting the books from the dragons. If you can do that, then you should complete the quest. If you can't do that, then do the bypass quest instead so you can get on to 1.5.
