    just an educated guess..

    between 3000 and 4000 zen..

    a $30-$40 dollar valuation..

    I think we won't know until you can actually buy it.
    Make you wonder if they wanted to see our discussions on possible pricing.
    I think they want to price it at 4000 Zen which would be ridiculous for what you get.

    If they do this then it will be the very first booster/bonus pack from Cryptic I do NOT buy (purchased every other one, including the Romulus pack at STO). So, if the Devs or priceline-overlords are reviewing our discussions, I sure hope they see this: Z-3000 and not 1 Zen higher. Most other discussions I've seen seem to be the sweet-spot is $30 (3000 Zen).

    I know that's my own top-limit. Costing less would be great, but not a penny more than 30 for me.

    Blue account wide companion.... I'd go 4,000 if it was purple and had a better buff instead of ranged only.

    Blue companion: normally 2000-2500 zen (for one character, this is account-wide).
    Greater bag of holding: 1000 zen
    Helper Pack: 1500 zen (2000 zen worth of items inside).
    Plus other minor goodies.

    So it should be around 4000-4500 in the zen store, zen are easier to come than real $ anyway. I'm guessing the real money price though won't be a direct equivalent from the zen price, somewhere along 30-40 $.

    There is no mount. It's a lot less stuff than has been included in prior packs, so people are expecting a lower price point.

    Why? It is already known that it will be coming out the Rusted Iron Lockbox.

    apparatus of kwalish.
    An apparatus of Kwalish appears to be a large, sealed iron barrel, but it has a secret catch that opens a hatch in one end. Inside, a character finds ten levers. The levers perform various functions, including extending or retracting the legs, tail, pincers and feelers, covering and uncovering the portholes, moving the apparatus, snapping its pincers, opening and closing its magically-lit "eyes", rising and sinking in water, and opening or closing the hatch. Two human-sized characters can fit inside, the device can function in water up to 900 feet deep, and it holds enough air for a crew of two to survive a few hours. When activated, the apparatus looks something like a giant lobster.

    i think this version, the character will ride on it, not in it. there's a data mined image of it somewhere.

    Thanks much appreciated.

    Is this part of the Ranger Pack that comes out today or a separate purchase on the Zen store?

    no, the apparatus is winnable from the rusted iron lockbox. this is the new lockbox following in the tradition of the nightmare lockbox, the feywild lockbox and the dark forest lockbox.

    Got You, So happy now I bought a bunch of keys on sale (think 15% sale ended today) just in case a new lockbox came out.

    The ranger pack is 3500 zen. They answered my question about it on twitter. Hope this helps.

    Hope they added something to it for that price. On a positive note, glad to see it can be purchased with zen.

    Will require some serious reevaluation at that price... $35 for a BLUE, but Account-Bound companion and Greater Bag of Holding. Hrmmmm...

    NOTE that because it comes with the Greycloak's Insignia enchantments for both the bow and daggers, Hero of the North pack buyers may NOT be able to pluck a bow from their pack (that enchantment comes with all starter weapons in the HotN pack). I'm just guessing here. So I'm thinking HotN pack buyers should;t count on it, and be prepared to go this route if that enchantment is important to them.

    I could be wrong of course. LOL

    Not worth it for that price. Will be the first pack that I am bypassing.

    Two Things:

    1) I don't believe the bag is per account, only per character. If it were, I would say the package is definitely worth it.

    2) Greycloak's Legacy can be redeemed as a bow.

    Thanks for update on HotN pack (I'm still stuck at the office right now) - I did ask Som at Twitter about the weapons and they ARE Account-wide, but HR only - so if you rolled 3 HRs you can claim those every time.

    The Bag of Holding and actual "Booster" box (Adventurer's Helper pack) are claimable on one character only - just like the Guardian and Hero packages before. Otherwise everything in it is account-wide and only the bow and daggers are restricted to HR characters.

    This causes me to lean toward going for it (my question was regarding the bow/daggar binding). If I add this pack it will give me four account-wide companions, plus the freebie in-game companion, filling out all my slots at level 60. (I'll just maintain a Purple companion anyway - either a Lillend or Sylph - so blue quality of the Hawk is moot for me.)

    Then I will be forever done with all Companions from Cryptic except dropbox or other "freebies". Unless they turn them loose to account-bind in the Z-Store, that is (then I'd actually buy more).

    As a warning, people are having problems right now acquiring the companion on other characters.

    I thought this will be my first ever pack purchase since I can use Zen to buy it (converted from AD) and not real $. Got all excited but now looking at the price, 3500 Zen is definitely not worth it. I will save my Zen for an account wide mount. Disappointing that it is so expensive. Hopefully not many people will buy it and PWE will notice the low sales rate and decide to make it cheaper...hopefully...

    On a side note, 3500 Zen for a green undead horse is out right ridiculous. I guess only mount collectors, RP and people with spare Zen would buy it.a.k.a. the minority...

    Oh well, makes the decision to save money for me so much easier... onward to Module 2!

    Snickers - I always picture you when I see @NeverwinterGame at Twitter. LOL

    Them's the rules, even tho' that's a company account, it's always Som's fault for anything tweeted there. ~cough~
