Actually, I sort of take that back. It could very strongly depend on the implementation. If they put in a new raid zone that is by far harder than anything in the game right now and you have to clear it to get the reward then a reward that at least competes with Avatar drops if not slightly better would be in line.

I could go for an upgraded Necro orb honestly. More damage and power proc plus some crit to make it compete with the mayong orb.

No because then the best loot is coming from instances instead of contested as it should be. That would be just plain wrong.

Most of which mage's gear? If it were between Staff of Light and the Plasma Wand in potency, there are more than enough people who would find it useful and essential because (a) their guild isn't killing contesteds, or (b) not enough SoL's have dropped. Nothing has essentially changed to make epic quests suddenly a bad idea.

If everyone has it it isn't very epic, and if everyone can easily obtain it for nothing more than time the reward CAN'T be that good or it breaks progression which has slowly been getting fixed as far as items go. /shrug

Edit: Anyways, like I said in my second post, it strongly depends on implementation. I'd be reasonably happy with a secondary that was better than the necro orb that would be good to have if you didn't have the dark orb.

I also have a feeling the reason we aren't seeing more to this quest is because it is waiting for the incomplete raid zone we are getting at some point in the future.

What I'd like to see, honestly, is that the quest takes you to several epic instances, and gives you a decent reward. Not better than contested loot, but still a reward that you would use UNTIL you got that loot. Like maybe an item for a slot that gets ignored from instances (like the earring slots for mages in EoF).

Then the last quest gets completely based on contesteds, and once you finish that, THEN you get a really fucking uber item that you won't replace, until the next big expansion at least.

But we all know thats not gonna happen after completely wiping hargathur's loot table and instancing harla-dar.

I think they should be adornments that you can remove and reapply an unlimited number of times.

Even better!

That actually sounds like a pretty good idea .. however I don't think they'll do it.
