EpicGuides:Epic Newbie Guide

written by Shaelynne (modified from Koala's guide)

NOTE: the following epics have object run counters

Genie - Carpet (if you get two, you can merge, game mechanic)

Inferno - Lodestone (can't merge)

Oradrin's Chosen - Mark of Oradrin (can't merge)

You will die. A lot. Don't talk about it. Don't whine or complain. No one wants to hear it.
When you die, go back to the area immediately. Don't sit around healing in your manor or clanhall, if you're not ready for a "join late" or "last call" of some sort, you WILL BE LEFT BEHIND. Heal once you're back in the area but don't spam yourself out.
If you die right before we finish and we call for "everyone here" at that point, please let us know you're on the way. A quick "BRT" before you start the speedwalk to oc/icefall/inferno/etc is great because then we know you're active at the keys and otw.

Turn off all reminders/repop/gquest/etc notifiers that go to gtell
Minimize spam, turn off unnecessary channels etc.
Damage 2 or 6 is good for minimizing attack spam
Stock up on mana potions, heal pots, extreme pills (Icefall), banish/disen staves (winds)
Bring a shield, any shield will do, you may not need it but it's good to have.
Do not follow self, you should be following the leader the entire time. If leader needs you to follow self, they will direct you.
Do keep chatter on gt TO A MINIMUM. Epic group is not actually a social hour as many might think.

If you have a question that's fine, but please do not expect the epic leader to answer questions during a run.

They try their best sometimes, but they are also leading the group, so questions are a distraction.

Ask someone you know who is in the run via tells for a quick response.

If you don't think they know the right answer, you can always note the leader after the run.
