New way of getting epics ?

hello guys, so i've been out of l2 for a while and it seems like the way of getting some epics changed with god.

zaken earing is dropped from a lv 60ish instance nowadays ?
i saw there was 3 difficulty levels for this instance, can you get the epics only in "hard mode" ?

any clue about the other ones like aq ?

i'm really clueless about all of this so if anyone got a guide or knows stuff, feel free to let me know. thanks

 

lvl 60 day time zaken yes, but very very low chance

lvl 60 nightime zaken, full chance to get earring but ya need 81 ppl to enter

 

it's not, there's maybe some tiny chance, but not worth the trouble. in fact, earring drops everytime on that night time for 8 parties. same goes for crystal leveling, it's not 100% for all party anymore.

old style.

 

thanks for the input guys, the nighttime zaken is also the instance or you actually have to go to the boat ?

 

all of them are instanced, you can do them 2 or 3 times a week (don't remember exactly).

 

the nighttime zaken is available once a week. lvl 60 and 83 zakens are available two times a week. there are some new epic bosses in god such as istina and octavis. two versions of them: normal mode and hard mode.

 

60 zaken dropped his jewels before god.
not confirmed if he still does but chance was extremely low anyway.
like getting a full drop from normal mobs at high lvl

never done the 83 version, what's droprate of ring/hat there?
(silly me, actually more interested in hat ^_^)

 

the hat is dropped only from the nighttime version of zaken.

 

and whats droprate of jewels and hat on 83 nighttime?

 

high lvl daytime drops it too.

if you're talking about daytime for 3 parties, then it's a tiny chance. been doing it on h5, no earring from about 30 instances, got 1 hat and few cloacks tho and vorpal jewels if you do that fast.

 

there are 3 zakens
60 low - u can enter with full party up to 2 parties. but its realy low zaken - u can kill it easly even with dorfs spoilers etc.
60 low hard zaken - u can enter only with 8 full parties there - its like the totaly old zaken with drops b grade, zaken earring, and lvling up crystals.,
80(or 78) lvl zaken - u can enter on 76/78 with max 3 parties. at end game u need 1 party ( but with cc ) - drops are vespers, moirais things ( zaken with totaly low chance)

 

oh well, i'll get them some day ^_^
