Class Epic quests

[Jasper]

Over the year's i have played many mmo's UO ofcourse being the first. However one aspect i enjoyed from a more current mmo EverQuest has these quests based on your class. the object is to attain the "epic" weapon for your class. They are tailored to your class and only useable by your class.

So i got to thinking since this server has predesigned class gates maybe they could be implimented based on those.

The Ranger Gate(Tamer) A Gnarled staff-Staff of the Wilds- Class specific stats= +5 taming +5 lore +5 vet 1 additional control slot. (255 endur) with the ability to place self repairs on it(same with all epics)

The Crafter's Gate Hard to say with this one, maybe several mini epics? since they could chose to do any of the crafts or maybe and entire set of clothing each one with +5 of a different craft skill?

The Warrior Gate Player chooses Fencing Archery mace or swords as a reward. Reward based on that skill/weapon chosen Base stats could be something like 15% all resists +10 healing then +5 whatever skill they chose. I.E Sword is chosen player gets a Viking Sword with the above base stats plus +5 Swordsmanship +5 tactics.

I could even help write the quest content and give idea's of the length/ toughness of them. This is NOT meant to be something someone can solo in aday. ideally it would require 3-6 players to defeat the final quest boss and a week of questing to get to that point, maybe longer. The crafter would be the only one i'd say could solo it since you wouldnt want to incorporate much fighting into the gentle crafters quests.

Anyway Was just an idea.

Dovahkin... every opinion is greatly appreciated.

I would point you in the direction of some of our current quests... that offer mage/necro buffs. There are items out there to greatly increase the effectiveness of the melee player. Also... for the crafter and the tamer.. there are items on the third floor of the donation hall to improve both of those areas. There is an item in game that boosts control slot.. also available at the donation hall.

As you know... balance has to always be taken into consideration.... and since every player can take all skills to 120.. and you can be a godly tamer... bower/melee... AND caster all at the same time.. caution should be considered when you start passing out more power than we currently have available to us. Perhaps you have not come across these things yet but, Many of these things are available in game as it is.

There are many different way to get these vastly different items to put together the gear you wish to play with... this is why we do not hold your hand and tell you (everyone in general) where things are and exactly what is out there to get.... the surprise and feeling of accomplishment are a great part of our world. The chance to adventure and discover. I promise you... most of what you seek is in game

This was not meant to discourage you.... but to encourage you to explore a bit more.

Yes, I just saw the followers boost in the donation hall, definetly do not want to take away from that. I am pretty new to the server aswell so i admit not knowing the various rares and artifacts yet.

I don't mean to offer items that over power or make the game content less enjoyable. I merely meant to sugguest an idea for a new way to gain game balanced artifacts other than repeatedly grinding spawns ect for them to drop.

My idea was more of a new avenue to aquire those rares to give the characters more choices as to how to aquire them.

I apologise if it was taken to seem that i wanted game breaking items added to the game.
