Random thought about the Epic weapons. What if you got a item boost for having the Epic in your inventory. Or vice versa, the Epic gets a boost for having a best in slot item currently in your inventory. I also have been a fan of the idea of an epic helm.
Going to make my guess before watching video after having seen some differences in ease of play and desireable classses between the last few TLP. Id say enchanters currently abundant but still desired even if a group has one. They tend to take 2. Wizards are desired by more people this go around. They speed up leveling in this era and mana noticeably less of an issue. Rangers seem much more common and honestly are superior option on Teek thanks to ease of getting gear that allows them to tank,dps, spot heal, and make use of high aggro rangers can generate. Also harmony works indoors on all things. Bind sight can allow you to use NPCs to see around corners. Do with that knowledge what you will. Just did a group with 3 rangers. It was faster than avg exping and all could tank Luclin content. So yay for rangers on Teek. Clr and sham seem lacking and both can add damage at low levels thanks to common access to geared tanks. Bards suck but people dont know it. So at the very leasr make 3 or 4 and go afk on them to fit in. Imo if a player started today wanting to hit max level fast, do not do a rogue or warrior ( reasons why old school they got exp boost even tho they are still both good dps) and maybe not dru. Dru would need to dps and buy gear to be attractive. YET you can get a group on all just fine! But more so do not attempt mage or necro to solo exp. Open world and single character soloing is honestly hot garbage for leveling.
Epic quests, as a function of time required to create vs. player engagement has a poor ROI for game dev time especially when you have a smaller team and are on a tight 6 month release schedule like EQ was back in the day for a while. Add in the customer support issues that they caused... it's a no-brainer on why they were not continued.
Joining a guild without knowing anybody is kinda like playing OG EQ, you gotta build a rep and make a name for yourself. Be humble, help others with kills or if they have questions in guildchat and know how to play, within 2-3 weeks people will know who you are and you'll get group invites without even being lfg.
Shaman for life

Really tho, bards are fun, but i do persona over to them when in towns to preserve potion buffs.
really appreciate this comment, it definitely sheds some light on the experience so far, thanks for sharing.

quickest and easiest answer is actually enchanter.
