This quest, known as the Epic Weapon Quest, can be started and completed as early as level 32, but the weapon that you receive may not be equipped until level 35. The weapon itself, regardless of which it is, stands a head and shoulders over any other weapon of its type, whether found in the crypts of the East or purchased from the weapons vendors in the great city of the North. Each of the Epic weapons bears an Enhancement Bonus of +9 and is Keen. Additionally, Vampiric Regeneration, Damage Resistance, Spell Resistance, and other worthy attributes can be found on each of the Epic weapons. For more information regarding the specific weapon of your interest, visit the Epic Weapons page on the site. The Epic quest entails some prerequisites. Being as the first item must be obtained beyond the Bridge of Death, before even beginning one must seek out the Swami along the Pass of the Lost Dragon and then obtain Master Tonberries. Once these are obtained, one must visit the Nether Realm and attain an Orb of Trelei from the plane of the Past. Once these two feats have been accomplished, the Epic quest can begin. In the Green Village of Nollerburg, a church called St. Helen of the Blessed Shroud can be found. It is around this church that your Epic weapon quest will revolve. The Arch Paladin of the Shroud will give you details for beginning your quest. After the first item in your quest is acquired, the Arch Paladin will give you details on each of the following steps. The first portion of the quest entails heading to the undermountain of Dahl. Head into the underdark and search for a fungus cave. Here may be obtained the Mushroom of Dahl. Take this item back to the Arch Paladin and she will exchange the Mushroom for a White Crystal. She will then guide you to the Nether Realm where you will set off to the Future. Find a hidden ramp and sneak around the lakeshore to another cave. Herein a creature will exchange a relic called the Star of Trelei for your White Crystal. Return the Star of Trelei to the Arch Paladin and she will give you a Fire Crystal. Next you must endure the timeless tests of the plane called the Void. Head back to the Nether Realm to access the Void. Now you'll face some battles. The creatures of the Void are powerful and merciless, and adventurers under the level of thirty-five will struggle greatly. Your Nexus Mirror will serve no purpose in that place. Locate the Lorem Tree and exchange your Fire Crystal for Fruit of the Lorem Tree. The Lorem Tree will then send you to the Nexus of the Two Realms. Visit the Arch Paladin again to prove your strength. The Arch Paladin will then take the Fruit of the Lorem Tree and give you a Shamrock of the Shroud. If you speak to her beyond this point, she will ask you for which Epic weapon you are questing. Tell her which one and she'll direct you to one of five powerful creatures scattered across the globe. You must then seek out that creature. Find the creature and destroy it. Upon its death, the physical manifestation of its essence will appear. If you have completed all of the prerequisites of the Epic weapon quest, it will remove your Shamrock of the Shroud and grant you with a very special Relic. Take that Relic back to the Arch Paladin and she will present you with the Epic weapon that you seek along with 15,000 experience. This quest may be done multiple times, but it is not recommended unless you wish to have multiples of the same weapon. All Epic weapons are undroppable and therefore cannot be sold. - updated 8.5.05
