Incorrect items delivered on completion of Stage 6 of the Narbo Campaign

bolt

According to the tooltip on the campaign reward pack the artifact items that should have been delivered to my wizard are:

1. House Baenre Brooch
2. House Baenre Wrap

But on opening the reward pack what went into my inventory was

1. Netherese Engineers Chain
2. Netherese Engineers Pendant

Aside from these being the incorrect items the stat bonuses on the Netherese are not as useful for my wizard as the House Baenre items

This bug is now compounded by the reward of the Mystic Bolt artifact item received on completion of the Narbo questline. The Mystic Bolt is one of a set of items: Mystic Bolt, House Baenre Brooch and House Baenre Wrap. So but for the incorrect pack contents bug I would have the complete set (which I am sure was the intent) and the associated set bonus, as a result of the bug I have neither.

I have raised this bug before via email and was assured that the devs were aware of the bug, were working on a solution, and that others had reported it as well. I am raising it now because like me other players will be finding themselves with incomplete and largely useless artifact reward sets. My request would be to expedite putting a fix for this issue in place asap

This bug is already addressed by the dev. They stated the bug is the text of the tooltip. It should have stated Engineers because the name of the pack is Engineer's. So, if they make a fix, they will fix the text in the tooltip.

Still some weird choices on item binding the Netherese items are heavily class biased, STR, CON & DEX not top of the useful stats for my wizard for example but because the pack opened automatically for me and the items inside are BOP I can't transfer them to one of my other chars, like my rogue, where they would have been a better fit and I can't sell them. So essentially for some classes the stage 6 reward is no reward at all it would have made more sense for the items to be BOE and account bound.

The pack is character bound. You cannot give the pack to another toon even if you did not open it. Your rogue needs to earn it.



By the way, it is the 5th reward. You keep on saying 6th. 600 or the 6th week is not the 6th reward.

I think everyone understood exactly what I was talking about but thx for clarifying. I also think you miss a key point, I presume one of the goals of a campaign is to get as many players of ALL classes wanting to complete it but if you have key rewards that only benefit certain classes and not others (because of the stats associated with the items) it essentially means you reward some players not others and as this is a general campaign that seems a strange way to structure the rewards. A BOP pack that had a BOP choice of Baenre or Netherese set in it would have been better imho

Basically, this set is just an reward and just like any reward in the past, they don't benefit all class. And, most of the time it does not benefit any class. Basically garbage reward like most of them in the past. This is nothing new. I still have many campaign reward packs in my toons not opened.

The kick of this reward (comparing with those in the past) is not this set is not good. It is the cost to upgrade the artifact is very expensive and in addition, it requires grinding in older content. I would not pass that to a Rogue who cannot do the campaign on its own because that toon would not be able to upgrade the artifact.

There is not much effort to do this campaign. Hence, the uselessness of the rewards 'match' it.
May be the 'reward' of this campaign is to reward you the ability to "buy" the house set.
