I'm looking forward to getting more Quartermaster's Enchantments. I already had some (Salvager's) enchantments from previous sieges, and when they upgraded them I had a preview of the new drops.

Spoils of War is worth 350 points in Surplus Equipment, and can drop ~every minute if you have 3 rank 7 enchantments. This is a much faster way to gain Surplus Equipment for the guild coffers than the crafting tasks I've been running.

I got the impression from chatter that they are only* good for surplus? I didn't have any from before and wasn't going to buy at the price they jumped to.

*Not to say that isn't swell, just to confirm they are a one-resource-wonder.

I've been using a couple Salvager's Enchantments rank 7 for a while -- just for something different to have in utility slots. The drops included minor resonance stones, injury kits, potions and unidentified gear,

Upgrading from rank 7 is supposed to increase the value of those drops, I don't have any data on that.

Even if they aren't better, it's an easy way for me to contribute significant amounts of Surplus Equipment without having to sacrifice the AD return from salvaging epic gear.

The event blog still mentions the Black Horse as a possible prize from the Neverwintan Defender's Pack. This is the same as a horse you can buy with Zen, but in the original Siege, it was a BoE version of the mount. I had one in shared storage when we converted to the new mount system, and it became a BoP mount, probably because the need to code two different versions of it to preserve the event mount was overlooked. I've asked about it a couple of times since, but still have no confirmation that it won't be BoP from the event pack.

BoP event mounts are fine when you buy from a vendor, but really unfortunate when they are in a random loot table.

Also, the event pack can hold a refiner's cache, or a companion fortification kit. Refiner's caches have been adjusted so that their contents remain relevant to the current state of the game. Companion fortification kits were replaced rather than adjusted, and if the outdated item is still possible event loot, they'll be a pretty serious letdown at this time.

Great Event, but with mobs scaled to lvl 60 it's way too easy. I hope it will be changed in the future.

This is fantastic, my guild is smaller and we let pretty much anybody relatively active in, we try hard to build up the newer players and help them through things, teach them things, etc. It's a lot of fun but also a bit frustrating sometimes because many of the members are still getting through campaigns and can't contribute much to the coffers, so getting boons and dragonflight stuff has been a long uphill battle. But all of the vouchers we're getting is a huge boost and now we'll actually be able to get some of the stuff we want reasonably fast. The blue mount is also excellent for some of the newer players, they can get a decent mount while contributing to the coffers.

General Valwryn observes the Battlefield

The Neverwinter Champion's Charger, rides like the parade Horse. The only bonus on it is Champion's Return. Hopefully it comes in different color's later on.
