'''Epic''' is the level of [[item]] [[quality]] in between {{Quality|Rare|Rare}} and {{Quality|Legendary|Legendary}}. Epic quality items can be found in end-game instances, from various professions, world drops, and reputation purchases. While Legendary quality items appear in the game, most WoW players will never get one and only even see them on occasion.

Many epics are part of the [[Armor Sets]], which are coordinated sets of class-specific armor that provide excellent bonuses. These are frequently referred to as [[Tier 0]], [[Tier 1]], [[Tier 2]], [[Tier 3]], etc. In addition, there are quite a few non-raid items, sometimes called "Epics for casuals" ([[Epics for casual players pre-Burning Crusade]], [[Epics for casual players in Burning Crusade]]
 
 
[[Category:Fire elementals]]
, or [[Epics for casual players in Wrath of the Lich King]]), that are available.
 
 
====Additional notes====
 
* The names of '''Epic''' quality items will appear in <font color="#b048f8">purple</font>, and are sometimes playfully termed "purpz".
 
* [[Equip]]pable items of '''Epic''' quality always have one or more [[attribute]] bonuses or [[proc]]s.
 
* Few [[ingredient]] items are of '''Epic''' quality.
 
* [[Mounts]] can be [[Rare]], '''Epic''' or [[Legendary]]. In general, players ride an epic mount, as there is only one Legendary mount in the game, the [[Black Qiraji Resonating Crystal]].
 
* Most epic mounts can be purchased by any player for {{Cost|g=100}} or less (in addition to faction discounts), whereas riding ''training'' costs much more but only needs to be purchased once.
 
* There are a few epic class items that drop randomly out in the world, such as the {{item|Bow of Searing Arrows}}. These are commonly referred to as "BOE ([[Bind on Equip]]) Epics."
 
* The web color code for epic itemlinks is '''#b048f8'''.
 
* Most Classic raid bosses and all Burning Crusade and Lich King raid bosses drop epic itemss.
 
* "Regular" [[heroic]]s have end bosses that drop one epic item. In the more challenging heroics (Magister
 
Terrace, Trial of the Champion, the Icecrown 5 mans), every boss drops epics.
 
* Craftable items of epic quality usually require some item that only drops in heroic or raid instances.
 
* All max-level PvP gear rewards past the introductory sets are epic.
