Screen shots have now been made available on EverQuest2.com revealing the Destiny of Velious Digital Download and Digital Collector’s Edition special items. While the headline of the linked article suggests that one must Pre-Order to receive any of these rewards, I suggest reading the last 2 paragraphs of the article which clear everything up:
The Digitial Collector’s Edition is a Station Exclusive and is specially priced at $59.99 for pre-order only. This version includes the base game, all seven expansions, three adventure packs, a Loyal Snow Hound, four different Velious Portal Paintings, Tserrina’s Wedding Present (house item), Cryomantic Armor Crate, an Everfrost Summer Home, and a Stormfeather’s Brood Guardian mount appearance. Items are awarded one per character. New accounts will also receive a free 30-day subscription.
Please note that after the pre-order period ends, the price of the Digital Collector’s Edition will increase to $89.99 and the Loyal Snow Hound will no longer be available.
Screen shots and more details after the jump…
All purchasers of Destiny of Velious receive the four portal paintings:
Portal Paintings (clockwise from top right)
Thurgadin, Ringwar, Wakening Lands, and Nipik’s Haven
All customers pre-ordering either the Digital Download or Digital Collector’s Edition receive the Loyal Snow Hound:
Loyal Snow Hound (Digital Pre-Order Exclusive)
Purchasers of the Digital Collector’s Edition also receive:
Tserrina’s Wedding Present House Item
Stormfeather’s Brood Guardian Appearance
These screen shots confirm our theories on both the Everfrost Summer Home and Stormfeather’s Brood appearance mount. It would appear that the Everfrost Summer Home is a house themed in the style of Miragul’s Managerie, a dungeon located in Everfrost. And it stands to reason that once you have completed the level 90 quest to earn your Flying Mount in Velious, you will be able to change its appearance to that of Stormfeather as depicted above.
It is unclear if the ‘portal paintings’ and Tserinna’s Wedding Present (a Tower of Frozen Shadow replica) are simply house items or will allow players to teleport to different locales in Velious merely by clicking on them.
We are still trying to get answers on whether Fan Faire attendees will be able to upgrade to the Digital Collector’s Edition for $20, as well as seeking answers on the 20-30% exchange rate which international customers are facing.
wish they included the cape from the retail box
Here’s hoping for the upgrade option. I believe it was said that the wedding gift would do something.
SoE confirmed that the Mount is actually a real mount, not just an appearance. You still are required to complete the questline to be flagged for flying mounts.
