I heard a rumor that there may be a level 90 signature quest that allows one to bypass the VP kill. Is this true? It sure would be nice for those of us that have been suffering multiple failed pick up VP raids of late lol!
It's true. You can get the new spell-version of your mythical effects at 90 (after quest) with only having completed the fabled epic quest previously.

Fabled or mythical, you'll get an "enervated" version of the weapon to wield (keeps blue/green stats I believe) and a house version. Just keep in mind that if you change your mind and decide to do your mythical update later, you won't get the mythical weapon itself, just the update (they don't want us having both the gem AND weapon heh).
Tinytune@Blackburrow wrote: Correct and it will prevent you from ever receiving the mythical weapon. So if you want the weapon, do the raid. And this is just my speculation, but for people who aren't in raiding guilds, I doubt you'll find a weapon stronger than the mythical, so I would keep trying if I were you.
You can't wield the enervated version? From the comments that I heard, I had gotten the impression that the Appearance Only restriction that had been previously mentioned didn't apply.

I think that is outdated information. The latest post that I see by Kaitheel says: The mythical spell gem quest (Epic Repercussions) removes your legendary or mythical weapon, whichever you have. But always rewards an "enervated" version of your mythical weapon to wield. This version is the same as your mythical weapon (with blue & green stats) but stripped of its effects. And then you also get spell gem(s) which hold within them the effects from the weapon for you to use.You won't need to first find a replacement weapon.
The mythical spell gem quest (Epic Repercussions) removes your legendary or mythical weapon, whichever you have. But always rewards an "enervated" version of your mythical weapon to wield. It rewards the same weapon weither you turn in a legendary or Myth (which would be fantastic but having a hard time believing it atm)? Or does it work like this? I do the Gem quest and turn in my Legendary and receive a Myth Gem and a version of the new Legendary weapon? or I complete my Mythical weapon quest then do the Gem quest and turn in and receive a Myth Gem and new version of the Mythical weapon. Sorry for being so confused everyone =P
From all that I've read, the Enervated version returned will ALWAYS be like the Mythical version (minus the special signature abilities). So if you've only got the Fabled Epic right now, completing this quest chain will be a major upgrade for you.
