The Npc is Bantil lo'Tuv in the PoK library, on the same level as the Beastlord spell vendors.
I haven't completed the mage quest on this server (though the spell is in my bank). I'm uncertain as to whether completing the 1.0 quest flags you somehow, or the npc just looks to see if you have an epic.
But regardless she (strangely alla text says it is a male gnome) should give you the 1.5 pre quest even if you don't have the epic and are 65, instead she says nothing.

I have no script file for Bantil - that is why he doesn't respond

Ah, np then. Still some of them are in. Think Diseases has the 1.5 necro weapon.
There are so many things that are still left to be determined, particularly with the later expansions.
I mean, how close to complete is GoD? Do the missions work? I have yet to be in a group (and so far I haven't boxed) to test this.
And the OoW mobs are screwed up. They just don't have enough hit points, at least that is what someone who knew something about OoW told me. But that appears to be an EMU databases thing, and is far too massive for anyone to tackle solo. Do any of the scripted things for OoW work? I thought this was incomplete in the PEQ database.

As a fellow developer I would recommend you guys be very patient with Osiris. Tackling a project solo is one thing but of this magnitude is another. In order for him to balance this server he's going to have to start at the beginning and work his way up or the server balance will feel out of sync. We released GoD semi-legit style back in febuary and it took 3 of us about 2 months to get that expansion ready for a release and we still had bugs to deal with once the players started finding them all.

I don't mind being patient at all.
But the thing is ... there are things I just cannot figure out with one character. This is a beta, and it will take as long as it takes.
But I play just one character. There is no way I can tell if any content that takes a group for you to get in GoD is even working. Isn't a lot of that expansion instances? I don't know, I really didn't play past PoP on live.
And I am not criticizing the devs who have incorporated these expansions. But Omens of War is just too easy for the gear honestly. I've gone there for a pet focus item, but the mobs are just really easy, easier than the other expansions. Of course a lot of it takes you being past level 65 to use.
I'm not trying to put thumbscrews on anyone, I'm grateful Osiris is working on this.
Truth be told, to me right now the biggest thing is the PoP progression. One thing is the mobs like Grummus aren't spawning. The other is.. well the Halls of Honor thing. You have to have 3 people to do that, and there is no way around it. Hopefully the rest of the PoP progression won't have the weird oddities Furniture had on his server (that was a customized version of an older EMU release).
And down the road you can get to all kinds of things like Darkhollow and later expansions. Obviously the EMU team doesn't have much in the way of content for it yet, but no idea what is dropping in those zones or how easy the mobs are. I know the serpent spine mobs don't seem to have any faction or aggro on anything. Plus they are easy just like the OoW mobs.

Anything after goD is prety much fubar in the DB. Nothing is scaled and no scripts exist. Everything has to be worke dfrom the ground up after GoD. God itself is only partially complete and requires a significant amount of time to get working properly. The pop mobs are governed by scripts so there spawn timers are a little different than anything before that, but easily fixed just takes some time.
