Browsing through ZAM you can come across an interesting item they found. On the 25th of June listed under "New Items." You can find http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=117779 . Are there plans for new epics?
Epics are never-ever(tm) coming back. You know, just click aura clickys were never-ever(tm) coming back.
Sorry for the uninteresting explanation, but this is just a typo in the item data... it's a case of using +1 instead of -1.
Those are for Argin-Hiz prelaunch quests. The quests are available on Test already, if you want to /testcopy and check them out.
I can't testcopy because I made the choice of using my free heroic toon boost on my already leveled lvl 100 for a few minor perks since it was unstated that doing so would forbid you from /testcopying ever again.
