Why can't I get the final necro epic item?

Vardiss · 03-07-2008, 12:30 AM

I'm on the 2nd to last step of the necro epic quest. The journal says "The last piece needed for the combination will be a necromantic orb ..." I'm in Seb in front of the entrance to Venril Sathir's lair and I see "Kotiz' orb of necromantic energy". This is what everyone says I need to get.

The named was not up. We killed the four guards and I went over and tried to "collect" it. I tried continuously for 5-10 minutes - however long it took for the guards to repop. It kept saying "nothing found" and the "orb slips from your grasp".

I've spoken to other necros and they got it in the same circumstances.

I'm still waiting alone and hoping someone will come along and kill the named and guards so I can try again. The named is up now althought others said they got it when he was down.

Any suggestions?

Yea I was under the impression they were not allowed to help with an epic quest in any form or fashion. I'm happy you got your update as I know I would of been pissed if that had happened to me but I fear your good luck with the GM won't apply to others. Everyone be sure to /bug this so it gets some attention soon.

I've heard that anybody on this step currently can have it advanced by a GM

Atleast the group skeleton illusion doesnt drop while zoning now ....

We all know that fluff spells are more important then fixing bugged Epic Quests. Atleast Gm's will have something to do till its fixed.

I got mine advanced by a GM, fairly quickly after I petitioned it as well. Was the first time I ever had a GM pop in an instance we were doing! =)

2 nights ago i had the same issue. I /petitioned it, and viola, the next day I had my update. My request to a GM in game went ignored tho.

Two necros on MM reporting that we ended at the same step, petitioned, and recieved our updates the next morning.
