Adventurers,
If you have yet to explore what the Zen Market can offer, now is the time to do so. Starting now, players will receive a Free Bundle whenever they transfer Zen to Neverwinter. The bundle, which is valued at $50, includes an exclusive War Dog Companion, Embroidered Bag of Holding, Appearance Change Token Pack and more!
To receive the pack players must transfer at least 500 Zen into Neverwinter (does not count Steam wallet). Once the transfer has completed, players will receive the free bundle in their in-game inbox. The pack can only be claimed once per account.
*Note: while titled "First Time Buyers Pack" the pack is also available to players who have purchased Zen in the past, but it is not retroactive.
Learn More here: http://community.arcgames.com/en/news/neverwinter/detail/5002243
Known issue: There is a known issue with the delivery of the pack, please visit here for more info.
Thanks,
Dwight

The way I read it, if you have already you don't get it. And even if you did make another purchase, you wouldn't get it.
NOTE: Account Bound only means you cannot sell it at AH or transfer to another character. Once named, all companions become Character-bound. we know this already. However, all previous "special offer" Companions are account-wide (meaning they can be reclaimed from Rewards Agent in PE with all of your alts and new characters).
THIS is the question: Is it reclaimable, or is it a single, one-time only delivery (just like Zen market versions). It's highly unusual to get a BLUE Companion through a special offer, and why I suspect it's a single-issue version and NOT reclaimable with alts (in which case I really hope I'm wrong here).
AND if it's a single issue, people will want to ensure the *correct* Alt is the one to name and use it. Else there'll be a lot of shrill screaming in the forums soon.
IRT others, to highlight this... (it's *exactly* like I told you it is)

Double checking because I purchased and transferred zen for the first time last week when the keys went on sale and needed a respec.. would be a little upset if it does not apply to my next zen transfer/purchase.
Whenever?
So each time I transfer 500 Zen I can claim it again?
You will already have it

Alright cool. Thanks. Didn't see that highlight the first time or it was added later.
Any of my comments not posted in orange are based on my own personal opinion and not official.

The gift will be applied once per account for a Zen transfer from this point onwards, regardless of prior purchases.
The fact that it already shows up in the shop (but can't be claimed) for people with past transactions is a HAMSTER-up.

From this point forward, if you transfer at least 500 Zen you will receive the pack whether or not it is your first time transferring Zen. Its not retroactive meaning you wont get it for having transferred zen in the past. Hope this clears things up.
Yes, thanks.
As for the dog companion.. is that completely tied to only one character or do we get it account wide?
And this is the million-dollar question of the hour (or week if it takes that long) LOL
I hate it when ya'll do packs like this. That it comes with a companion entices me, but that the companion is for one character and not account unlocked so all my characters can get it spoils it for me. It's this very thing that's kept me from bothering to buy that 20 steam pack and the pack with the portal dog. I don't mind paying a bit to get bundle packs, but not if it's only going to be useable by one character (in whole or in part) and while I know it's only 5 for this one, it's disappointing, extra since I can assume it's only only to happen once and only one character will get it, so there will only be one war dog, correct me if I'm mistaken and the pack is granted to each character, but from what I can guess it's not even going to add the dog to the reward claim vender and with all my characters since beta I'm a bit disappointed.

Where would I go about taking advantage of said rewards if apparently my steam wallet isn't good enough for neverwinter?
Just a guess here, but maybe it has to do with what percent of the income from the purchase goes to Perfect World...

Probably - I wasn't trying to make my comment sound condescending or anything. I was just curious. I, settled on buying some zen through their site (With a bit of searching around) so hopefully when they clear up the first time buyers pack thing. I will get it.
So how long is this going on? Unless I read over it I didn't see a date
The dog is account-wide, but is it reclaimable on every character? Is it bind on pickup for the character that picks it up? Can it be transferred to other characters in the account if it hasn't already been named yet?
When does this sale promotion end?
Is the companion delivered as a green or blue companion? Some people have a green companion war dog in-game.
All of these questions also apply to the stone of health, and the 12 slot bag as well.

When you buy Zen with Astral Diamonds through the Exchange you are *not* "transferring" Zen to Neverwinter. it is Zen that is already in Neverwinter. You must buy fresh Zen from Perfect World and then actually transfer at least 500 of that Zen into Neverwinter. However, with the new ARCGAMES.com, their is no "Wallet" and the denominations are in 10s.
Before anyone balks at spending real money to buy Zen to transfer... think of it this way: you are buying a new Companion for only five bucks. And it appears to be the one and only time you will ever get to buy this Companion - so choose wisely in terms of which character actually claims it.
***
If you want only to buy the minimum amount, you must buy direct from PWE:
https://billing.perfectworld.com/mywallet
Click "Charge Zen" - you can purchase as little as $5 for 500 (or more if you choose).
After purchasing you must manually *Transfer* at least 500 Zen into Neverwinter. Choose "Transfer Zen" to do this.
Be sure to select Neverwinter as the game and choose "Dragon (International)" as your server (unless you play on the Russian server). Then tap the "Transfer" button.
In-game you should now see your shiny new Zen if you open the Zen Market (press Y). Once you've done that, you should get your shiny new War Dog and other trinkets within three business days (or when the Zen Market item starts working they way it appears it's supposed to work).
You're welcome!
