- There is no longer a chance to receive First-age items.
- There is no longer a chance to receive Tier 4 Runics.
- The Heritage Runes have significantly increased in value.
- The lowest value is now 75k.
- The highest value is now 250k.
- There is now a chance to receive Level 58 and Level 59 Second-age items (you can still get Level 60 Second-age items as well).
- The odds have been tweaked, the most significant of which is that there's now a slightly higher chance of receiving a Second-age item, but a lower chance of that Second-age being Level 60 (due to the inclusion of Level 58 and 59 Second-age items).
- The costs of the gift boxes have been significantly reduced: they now cost 15G 30S.
- The descriptions of the gift boxes have been changed to more accurately reflect the potential rewards.
- The gift boxes are no longer class restricted for those who mistakenly purchased the wrong box.
- Please note that there will be no compensation for those who have already purchased a gift box: when you opened that gift box you had a chance to get a Level 60 First-age item.
Explanation of Changes: The gift boxes have been changed from a high-risk / high-reward design to a more friendly middle-ground design. The high-end rewards have either been removed (First-age) or had their chances reduced (Level 60 Second-age), while the low-end rewards have either been removed (15k Heritage Rune, Tier 4 Runics) or increased (250k Heritage Runes are now available). Because the high-end rewards have been removed/reduced, the cost of the giftboxes has been reduced as well.
First Age Legendary Items First Ages are now dropped via a barter system.Each raid now drops barter tokens that can be saved up to use to trade for the First Age item of your choice. Vile Maw, Strange Happenings, and Dar Narbugud will all drop multiple tokens. Go visit the barter traders at the Hythe docks to see all the possibilities.
- Level 59 First Age's will cost 4 tokens
- Level 60 First Age's will cost 6 tokens
Currently First Age Legendary items are Bind on Acquire on Bullroarer. This change will be reverted and will not go live when Book 8 ships.
