Progressive alternate epics

Nuncio

Dalayan Beginner
Something I think would be really cool, is a way to do some alternate epic quests much like teh greenmist was on live.

Get a certain weapon, as you progress, you quest certain things that make this alterna-epic grow more powerful. something that can be done every 10 levels or so, an item that grows with the character.
Make it something that is different, obviously, than the regualr epic. Possibly different for different races of the same class as well.
For instance, ogre SKs could have a 2hb alterna-epic, troll SKs a 1hb alterna-epic, DE and Human SK's a 1hs alterna-epic (but different), and iksar a 2hp alterna-epic.
stats for SK alterna-epic could go something like :

levels 1-10 quested
ratio 2/5 (3/7 for 2h)
str +2 sta +2
ac 2

levels 11-20 quested
ratio 3/7 (1/2 for 2h)
str +2 sta +2 hp+15 mana+15
ac 3

levels 21-30 quested
ratio 1/2 (5/8 for 2h)
str +2 dex +2 sta +2 hp +20 mana +20
ac 3

levels 31-40
ratio 5/7 (3/4 for 2hs)
str +2 int + 3 dex +3 sta +2 hp +20 mana +20
ac 5

levels 40-50
ratio 5/6 (9/10 for 2hs)
str +4 int +3 dex +3 sta +4 hp +25 mana +25
ac 5
proc DD or disease DoT or something

etc etc, with varying stats depending on the race for whom they are intended.
Anyway, thought it would be a cool idea.
 
I would love the idea of this, then the quest doesn't feel like it's huge when you finally complete it at level 65. Not to mention it's a nice way to keep players progressing through WR.
 
I like everything except the different types of weapons for different races. It would take ages to code the quest for ONE class, much less about 15. It would give those with 1h weapons an unfair advantage as well, like being able to weild a shield on top of their epic(for your SK example). I love the idea of working on it as you level, though.

Yes, the quests would take a while to code. so possibly an 'opposite' of what the real epic is. KNights possibly a 1 hander, monks a 2hb, warriors a 2hs, shaman a chestplate, mages a dagger, etc etc...
whatever, you catch my drift.
 
That sounds like a very fun quest! Work hard for something, and know you can make it even better some day down the road! :)
 
ummm 30hp regen, see invis/ultravision....5% increase to slows....killer stats....not too shabby I must say
