There is an Arbiter located on the steps of the Tower in Grandville, behind Lord Recluse's statue, that gives you a quick arc. In this arc you read a plaque for each Patron and then choose the Patron you wish to follow.
You then are given that patron as a contact. You must run their first arc in order to access the Patron Pool for that patron. Since last issue, you can now choose any patron pool no matter which patron you decided on.
I know Mu pretty well, have run it with my SS/WP brute, and 4 MMs. The Electric Fences is GREAT at pinning targets down! One thing, Silver Mantis is VERY tough to kill, you might wanna bring a team for her, the rest can be solo'd pretty easily. The Colalax Queen, (can't think of her name) I think I set a speed record trashing her. lol Theres a mission with Malta, they not to tough for a Brute, but MAKE SURE to kill the SAPPERS first. The last is Serafina ... tricky, but still nothing a solid Brute can't pulverize. Good luck!

There are a few things to keep in mind about the mission arcs that unlock the patron pools that sometimes people don't know about in advance.
First, you don't necessarily have to do the arc that corresponds to the specific pool you want. My main Brute works for Captain Mako and proudly wears her Bloodletter badge, but uses Mu Mastery. You don't even have to use the same Patron Pool on both of your character builds. I could change her second built to use Soul Mastery, leaving her main with Mu Mastery and her actual original pool unlock with Leviathan Mastery.
Second, these arcs aren't available for repeat via Ouroboros, so the only way to see each arc (or to replay one you especially liked) is to take a new villain to 40+. Take a look at Paragon Wiki or coh.RedTomax.com for info about the specific arcs, to see which one has the story you're most interested in, if story interests you at all. You only need to do the first arc of a patron to unlock Patron Pools, but they'll give three more arcs after that.
Third, don't be afraid of leveling past 41 without having the pools unlocked. When you complete the first arc and unlock them you get a free Respec as well.

what is the process for obtaining the Epic Power Pools. I am interested in Mu and I hear there is a quest line that I need to run, where do I go???
