This change will not impact those who have already accepted their Epic 2.0.

    Guise of Pursuit

    If you have completed any Epic 2.0 Quest series you can now purchase the Guise of Pursuit for your alts. This bauble will give you a Cae’Dal illusion and maxes the following factions, as long as you are wearing the illusion.

    • The circle of the Unseen Hand
    • The Order of Rime
    • Othimir of Velious
    • Zou’Lidelas
    • Disciples of Circling Destiny
    • Bastion of the Tranquil
    • Shields of Maldura
    • Clan Skleross
    • Legion of Danak
    • The Sel’Nok Brigade
    • Guktan Guard

    This illusion can be canceled, so that quest lines associated with these factions can still be done if desired.
