Does It really open and complete all tasks? If so why there are other items (from daily) I found it pointless to get items from pack when you already got everything completed. Or you don't get a boons or something? If some1 got any exp with it please share

buddy said it completes all boons, all other boxes, and you have some currency items to do the repeatable things.
Does it work with any single campaign of your choice (Shar, DR, IWD, ToD) or just ToD?

OMG! The kit for Shar might be worth it! That grind for those boons is horrific! IWD was faster to grind all boons than Shar!!
But that may be more money than I want to spend . . .

As with most things I think it would be much better if it where more reasonably priced 10 - 20 USD.
I guess this games pay features are more for those that have $50+ to blow and nothing better to spend it on and who wouldn't think twice about blowing that kind of money.
It is a sad day when playing video games turns into yet another scheme to bilk money from rich people. I guess us poor people have to go back to making mud pies for our fun since even video games are becoming one of those things that only "rich" people do.
More or less my thoughts on the subject. I woudl have much preferred a 2000 ZEN token that unlocks the boons far all future alts but which is only available once you have already completed those specific boons on at least one character already.
Worse, as it is now such tokens gives the Devs every incentive for making additional and worse grinds in future
I quess this caters to that group of people that are only interested in "the end game", I don't really understand it myself but I know from reading that this group exists.
It's also interesting that they've gone with a flat buy everything rather than the more traditional boost system. Although boosts do exist to a degree in the Cache of Campaign Treasures.
Otherwise I agree. Were these cheaper and account wide they'd be more enticing, I've done Sharandar and Dread Ring 4 times, I'm less keen to do it another 3 due to the overly time-gated and repetitive nature. I have a full time job so I'm not poor but I've have never been a subscription gamer due to how I value my time and money. It's interesting to me that the business models for some f2p games that rely on either time or money seem to be moving further towards the extremes. I don't have a lot of time but the threshold for spending to progress in Neverwinter and other f2p games is getting beyond what I'm prepared to spend. I think it's time for me to go back to one-off payment games.
Edit: Actually having started Sharandar a 5th time, I'll revise the above. I quite like the content and wouldn't mind doing it again IF I could run though it in a week, two at the most.
Yep, one extreme is a boost that cuts out 1~3 days of grinding, and the other extreme is a $50 buy-out that skips the entire grind altogether. Can we get some moderate options?
Yeah, I've found the F2P games are following a trend: less playable content (and the smaller staff/smaller overhead) is countered by more numerous arbitrary grinds to keep people playing, with the option of buying your way out of the grinds.
I love Neverwinter, but it just makes since for me to go back to WoW in December, since I have a strong feeling that I'll have had enough of the grind here by then.
