as you can see the names have relation to the epic 1.5/2.0 items. i believe Brambles Shard of the Ancients is the druid one. It has a -8% spell/bash hate focus, 30 hp/mana, 10 ac, some resists and otherwise useless stats, direct link here:

anyway the person Cheena has submitted all of these entries to lucy, i am wondering if this means "epic 2.5" has been solved? has any of you seen any writeups about this?

thanks, serves me right for only looking in "eq expansions" and "quests" forums. why would this kind of thread be posted there :-) /sarcasm off

....

I don't know... maybe cause it involves stats? And to be honest the quest is so stupid (hand in a page) that it doesn't involve a strat? :p
