    The companion is most likely bound, the mount is most likely BoE.
    The right to command is earned through duty, the privilege of rank is service.

    Now’s your chance to own one of the rarest mounts in Neverwinter! The mount will be Bind on Equip and can be obtained only once.

    The powrie, without asking for more details, will likely be an account unlock and claimable on every character,

    The companion *could* be account wide, most of the other rewards like titles are and they didn't say either if it's a single companion or not.

    So this event isn't for anyone that already completed all these?

    The Huge Boost is Account Bound, so whilst not ideal you could still get it and save it for an alt.

    I'm interested in the Powrie but, of course, Perfectly Vague Entertainment (you might already know it for "This power has a certain chance to do something" and "This item does something for some time") doesn't state whether the companion is an account unlock or a single BoE item (in the tooltip shown in the post it is already bound, so it gives no clue either) :P

    I never gonna start a new char in this game, its way to expensive. I have one char with 10s/legendary/all boons, not ever gonna do all that work ever again. :P


    I also did the math for how much Zen you have to pay to get the mount, posting it here so others can skip the math. Its the cheapest possible items.

    Purchase either item
    : Stone of Health, Greater Stone of Health
    Zen: 500

    Purchase either item
    : Scroll of Life, Scroll of Mass Life
    Zen: 300

    Purchase either item
    : Blood Ruby, Blood Ruby Pack
    Zen: 800

    Purchase either item:
    Legendary Dragon Key, Dragonborn Legend Pack
    Zen: 300

    Purchase one of these items:
    Huge Experience Booster, Sharandar Campaign Completion, Dread Ring Campaign Completion
    Zen: 5000

    Total Zen for the mount: 6900

    If this is all accurate, that's STILL 13,100 Zen LESS than the 20K Zen you had to transfer into Neverwinter in order to get the Lord's Armored Polar Bear mount the last time. Note: I am not complaining at all, I think it's a great opportunity for others who want this mount. Which by the way IS BoE - and you can get only one per account (all you have to do is actually *read* the post to know this stuff, sheesh).

    So, if the above is *accurate* I may even make another go at a APB because that thing is freakin' awesome (read: fekking gorgeous as mounts go).

    There goes my interest... if it's BoE it's a single item... not worth 5k zen for an item I don't really want :/

    I like the promo this time. New titles and way less expensive. Much better marketing people. I would like to see a blue companion one time. I dont expect epic but blue fitting for the price point.

    I'm glad that this time the promotion doesn't require the purchases to be made sequentially on specific days. I suspect that their Customer Service reps will be happier too.

    Is there a wait time after making the proper purchases to qualify for the polar bear? Does notification come ingame mail or regular email? Doesn't indicate on the news announcement. Asking because I made the needed purchases and none of the rewards have shown up anywhere...yet. I logged out for awhile then back in and still nothing.

    lol Not worth it in the slightest. Not wasting $50 for a single companion. Money is better used for Guardian of the North or Feywild.

    Hmm. They apparently did an edit to that page. I had to force a total refresh to get that line to show up. It wasn't there when I first hit the promotion page. Thanks tho.

    Still not worth it, not to mention, not everyone currently has 5000 Zen floating on their account to begin with, meaning you have to wait a week just to get it, meaning you're screwed.

    Can we get official word if the pet is an account wide unlock? Additionally, the promo page shows a lvl 30 pet. Is this a purple pet?

    Clarification would be welcome.

    Past promotions have been green quality BoP account-unlock companions.

    The collection page in Gateway is also indicating the powrie is purple and BoE, which means they may have gone with something akin to the Lord's Armored Polar Bear, where you can claim it only once but get a higher quality, and you can sell it if you choose to.

    Is there a certain time you have to buy the items needed for the Redcap Powrie companion? As in; do I have to wait until the day before the promo ends before I get the companion and is it even worth $50?

    It appears that the qualifying purchases can be made any time through the entire promotional window. They don't have a bunch of day 1, day 2 type restrictions laid out.

    Single 165/165 companion, no, just no.

    If it were account wide I'd not hesitate to get it. Pay $10 more for DLC and you've got yourself both an account wide mount and a companion with good bonuses.

    Crazy as it might sound, there are many people who've been wanting a powrie companion just because it's a powrie companion. They don't care what active bonus it has.

    After being a thorn in my side for a while now, I may just be willing to spend for a Powrie companion - but only if it's an account-wide unlock. We need clarification on this!

    It SHOULD just be made a normal Zen store companion for the love of Azmodeus.
    Instead they have something like a leprechaun. I've seen 2 lightfoot thieves, but NOT one of em. Because nobody likes em.
