    Race options are never blatantly better than one another.
    +3% HP would be instead of something else and not in addition to everything normal dragonborns have.

    However I am not aware, without looking it up, what would be lost but if whatever race bonuses you are seeing listed with the +3% HP are not showing the other stats then they are replaced for +3% HP and not in addition to.

    Gold is a metal too. In D&D, dragons are divided into 3 alignments. Metallic dragons are lawful. Chromatic dragons are chaotic. Gem dragons are neutral.

    Actually incorrect.

    metallic dragons are good alignments
    Chromatic are evil alignments
    Gem are Neutral

    there are chaotic/lawful/neutral versions in all three dragon families.

    Lawful Good: Bronze, Silver, Gold
    Chaotic Good: Copper, Brass

    Lawful Evil: Green, Blue
    Chaotic Evil: White, Black, Red

    Gems I don't know off the top of my head but are in the neutral spectrum. Not of nuetral good or evil but of lawful neutral and chaotic neutral.

    Hello everyone! We would like to apologize for the inconvenience and confusion caused by the issue with the Metallic Dragonborn's racial ability scores. The issue should be resolved as of this morning's patch. Also, for those wondering about their other racial abilities, you may view them via the character creator whether or not they have been unlocked.

    That is awesome! I didn't think we could!
    Certainly makes it easier than trying to find website, wiki or (buried) in game resources. :)

    While technically interested just because of the colors I won't lockbox gamble for them with the chances being what they are. Which is also the reason why the AH prices will stay far away from what anyone would consider sane.
    And yes, I know that there are some people who have gigantic mountains of AD (we all know where many of those people have it from), but for normal people the AH prices will stay out of reach just because of the rarity of the drop.

    dragonborn defalut (5% healing all sources) vs dragonborn Metallic (3% Healins Skills/Spell; +3%hp)

    What is the best for PvP in the opinion of you (Especially if you are a Warlock)?

    This makes me wonder if the racial bonuses are working properly

    Only one sigil left in the AH and the price looks to be stable at 9.5 million.
    Who buys those things for that price? Are there really so many players out there with millions of refined AD for it?

    It doesn't necessarily have to be from people AD rich. People can buy zen then transfer that to AD from many people.

    People that have been playing for a long time are that rich. I'm not even one of the richer players and if I didn't take breaks constantly I could have easily ran out of things for my main to buy and be sitting on that much. So yeah any long term player very easily could have that much.

    Paying $200 for a reskin of a race costing $25.
    Smart move from Cryptic putting the race into lockboxes. That way they can avoid the comparison with the already available Dragonborn and suck out much more money from players by ZAX or Keys.

    But I am pretty sure that eventually that unlock will land in the Zen shop once the lockbox gamblers have been milked.

    I've already sold 2 of these new metallic dragons sigils and you would be surprised if I tell you that is not always the rich player that is buying these items, some people will sell even their own soul in order to get one, removing every enchantment in their gear and telling you: man, you literally took everything from me but I don't care, I just love the metallic dragons. Crazy. I'm still selling one more btw. ;)

    Sure but I'd still say that those players are in the minority. I don't know who it's from exactly, but the ones with a wallet are an option.

    lol .. the value propaganda in this thread was pretty funny. It's unfortunate it was in lockbox because these things will indeed be incredibly rare. I've yet to see one in game and doubt I ever will. I'm laughing at all those that said the price was going to stay at 12m or go up. I'm going to step out on a limb and say it goes for less than 4mil just b4 the lockbox gets retired.

    I'm still waiting for a free version of the race, like what they did with the renegade and the drow.

    You won't get one. Either pay for normal dragonborn or pay even more for metallic ones.

    1) This post is not even relevant to the thread in which it is posted.

    2) There is only one server for the English version of the game, which is Dragon. If you're playing on the RU server, it's Drider. The two cannot intermingle.

    I've got like 93 lockboxes at the moment sadly no zen for keys. Really wish I could buy them with gold or diamonds. But I cling to hope that when I do get some money to get keys that at least one of the boxes in my inventory has the Sigil of Metallic Ancestry in it.

    As long as you realise the odds are against you. Also keys for gold would ruin their profit margins.

    The only test I've seen was on the emperor beetle of about 1:5000
    http://neverwinter.gamepedia.com/RNG_Tests#Unearthed_Lockbox

    When only one dropped, a higher sample is probably needed to know exactly what it is, but it seems stupidly low. Unsure if they were more generous with the race.

    Does anybody remember the "limited edition" Sergeant Knox companions? So... exactly how much are they worth? ROFL!!! It is worth exactly how much the ones who bought them from the AH.

    Are they rare? Probably, 5 of them... sounds rare to me... but are they better or even good? ROFL!!! Not to me. In fact they are so much "better" and "rare" that nobody even see them in the game now... or is there anybody even bother to see them... or even remember them?

    Practically I am happy with my Dragonborn Pack with similar stats and all the account-wise unlocks including bags, epic artifacts, clothing and such.
