Epic weapons are a result of completing an "epic quest". These hand-tailored quests will be available to all classes. The quests will be a combination of solo, group and raid content. However, these weapons are being designed for people at the upper end of the level spectrum.
The weapons themselves will be unique in design. Additionally, the weapons will have specialized characteristics that set them apart from traditional weapons.
We'll make an announcement on EverQuestLive.com each time we reveal new concept art of the additional epic weapons.
