    Default Epic Quests for New Players?

    Hey! I was wondering if anyone could recommend epic quests to run as a first time player who just hit level 20. Or, if there's already a reference guide for new players just hitting epic levels, I would appreciate a point in that direction. Thank you!

    Since you probably have already run them on your way to epics, you might find that the ebberon quests are easier than FR due to familiarity (unless you jumped the gun as an iconic). All epic quests are really easy on Epic Normal--in fact they are even easier than many heroic elite versions.

    The eveningstar chain has many quests that experienced players can do quickly due to shortcut knowledge. They are also very immersive, especially for the first time. You may wish to also run a bit in the King's Forest to get commendations for the nice goodies that the various traders will give you (Like stars of day and other gear for Sun Soul Set etc.).

    Also, I recommend you get to know and love Spies in the House. It is the best XP run in epics.

    I'd recommend the entire Menace of the Underdark chain (14 or so quests). Though some of them do hit 21st-22nd level, you could still probably do them at 20th. They're not tough on Epic Normal.

    I also like the Phiarlan Carnival and Sentinels of Stormreach chains.

    The low level epics are:

    MoTU quest arc
    House D Chain
    House P Chain
    Red Fens Chain
    Desert Chain
    Vault of Night Chain

    I'd recommend you do the MoTU quest arc. Instructions and details here: http://ddowiki.com/page/Menace_of_th...28story_arc%29

    Those really are the best for getting started in epics. Best loot and the best designed in my opinion. Very immersive, great story.

    The House D, P, Desert, Vault of Night and Red Fens are fun but almost all the loot is outdated and is shard/seal/scroll system anyway so it'll take you far longer to get than they are worth. You can hit those as well if you want. But the MoTU content is definitely the best available.

    Red fens,
    Carnival

    desert quests.

    Any older pack on EN in 99% if cases is way easier than heroic Elite versions at level. Bonus to running these is tokens for TR.

    If getting better equipped for epics is your goal then as the above poster suggested go with the Motu chain. Also Easy on EN.

    This. These will give you an idea of general play changes as mobs scale up into epic levels.
