    They might not announce it until the module is live, considering how much gnashing of teeth there was over not being able to use Feywild Knight stuff on purchase.

    It's not like they've really discontinued any packs, so if budgeting for it concerns you at all, you'll likely have all the time in the world to buy one.

    One thing I'm almost sure about is that there will be a "cyborg" companion (for guardian/starter pack equivalent).
    How can I tell? At Grand Emporium enterance usually are 2 companions (from lockbox and from pack)

    That is not a "Cyborg", that is the Blacksmith :) He *is* wearing some weird eye-patch thing, but that is the only "cyborg-esque" thing about him.

    I am more interested in the Rust Monster that is also displayed!

    According to the collection system, the Blacksmith will be in the zen store. Of course, that could be wrong. We will see.

    Looks GOOD.

    Love the account wide unlock for the pet, and the greater bag of holding is also quite nice. Now we just need to know how much zen this is going to cost.

    I believe that this has been fixed on Mimic.

    BTW, the link posted earlier is for a Hunter Ranger Booster pack ... It says nothing about being a Shadowmantle pack, I'm still hoping for a pack similar to the KotFW or HotN pack for Shadowmantle.
    Is it finally a T5/U/T6 KDF Science Ship?

    I saw the news post about the hunter ranger boost pack, and it's cool and all, but it seems like it may have intimated that there is a second, unannounced pack as well. Given the history of multiple packs in the past (including the last module), and given that most of the stuff in the boost pack is geared for new characters, I'm kind of thinking that they will be announcing a second "Shadowmantle" pack as well. Any word on this yet?

    Well, the booster pack seems to be halfway between a starter pack and a regular pack. I'm doubting there will be a standard one of either kind.

    This booster pack is specifically related to the hunter ranger class. Note that no mention has been made regarding a Shadowmantle pack. Personally, it would be foolish for them not to release at least one pack specifically for Shadowmantle.

    I read it as them saying "when we released Shadowmantle a lot of people said that we should have released some sort of pack for that, so we made sure to include one this time".

    Not saying that a Shadowmantle pack is in the works, just them acknowledging that they heard what the people had to say then and that they are responding to that now.

    merged two shadowmantle question threads.

    also, i'm told this is the only pack that's going to be released right now.

    Quoting from the News Blog for the HR booster pack: "We received many questions from the community about a Shadowmantle special pack and we’re happy to be able to offer players these unique set of items."

    It seems they are treating this booster pack as the new module pack...inline with what Melody found out...

    They probably figured out that they can make more money by spreading out a pack's content over the Zen store instead of offering single 100$ packs.

    I was planning on buying a shadowmantle pack. This helps me in no way. The ranger, while cool and wanted by many, is not the main focus here. This is kill valindra and save the day epic content for all classes and races. Where the hell is the "guardian or feywild pack" for this new content? I thought they had set the standard with mount, pet, cloths, some sort of bobble. I guess I'm upset because I was planning on spending money on the game again and I'm just not interested in this pack.

    I feel bad for the people that didn't take advantage of the Zen sale to save money for the pack, only to find out the pack is bought with Zen. Got a guildie that's mighty upset about that.

    I really don't know what Cryptic was thinking. I don't think it was malicious, but I don't think this pack was well thought through. I'd personally delay the patch for a week, and introduce the packs similar to previous expansions, but I am sure I am in the minority here.

    Does the Hero of the North, Guardian, and Feywild packs give the regular items to the Hunter Ranger?

    Yes. Everything that applies to "all characters" applies to the Ranger as well. The Ranger-only items (bow and hatchets) in the Ranger Booster pack apply only to the Ranger. But it is unclear if the bow and hatchets will apply to all Rangers you create or only to one.

    I *hope* that the HR only weapons are both inside a single box that you can claim as often as you like, on any character. Only the HR can use it, and they should have no sale value, but that would allow them to be used on any HR that you create while still keeping them as "HR only" items.

    Im a little confused here on the 3 offensive slots:

    "- Bow of the Wild: 87-107 Damage. +127 Power. 3 Offensive Slots: +10 Power, Critical Strike and Recovery. +53 Armor Penetration.

    - Hatchets of the Wild: 52-64 Damage. +127 Power. 3 Offensive Slots: +10 Power, Critical Strike and Recovery. +53 Armor Penetration."

    Does that mean that the bow and hatchets will have 3 enchantment slots? Or does that correspond to +10 power, +10 crit, and +10 recovery?

    I was wondering the same thing , and if this means they have 3 slots for enchantments then does it mean a possibility of level 60 gear getting more slots too at some point in the future?

    That is my thought too. Especially since the Hawk does have 3 offensive slots.

    Actually, your screen cap shows the last slot being defensive.

    This is confusing.

    I almost held off because of this, but decided against it, now you're telling me I got a free account wide companion from transferring my Zen purchase into the game, and I can then use that Zen to buy the module 2 pack and get a second account wide companion?
