Feldon From the EQ2 Forums:
In this Marketplace update, we have a couple terrific new Nightborne weapons designed by Player Studio artist Albert Soto Jr.
In addition to the new Player Studio items added to the Marketplace today, we are reintroducing the Equipment Unlocker Pack to the Marketplace for 150 Station Cash. Each Equipment Unlocker Pack can unlock five pieces of equipment that normally cannot be equipped due to account level restrictions. The goal of reintroducing this item to the Marketplace is to make things easier for our players that want to unlock specific pieces of equipment for their characters, or players that want to gift Equipment Unlockers to their friends!
Players can also get individual Unlock Equipment Items from the Marketplace for 40 SC each.
Does this mean I can use my free SC from a recurring sub to unlock raid gear on my alt accounts? Did I just jinx everyone by asking this? 🙂
Now I just need CoE on that account. Any idea if CoE will come with the next expac?
Yes, an account with a recurring sub (or otherwise meets gifting requirements) should be able to gift them to any kind of receiving account.
I think they said the next expansion will include CoE? I can’t find a source, but AoD is the only one so far that was separated from this system, so I think it is likely.
I knew I could gift most SC items. Previously, equipment unlocks and any consumable F2P upgrade items could not be gifted. I love that I can use the SC on my main account to boost my alts now.
I may have to snag some sc this weekend to bank for unlockers when I can’t find Kronos at a decent price or if I have enough plat on me.
The unlockers should never have been removed in the first place.
You may want to test unlocks gifting to silver or bronze accounts without a credit card on record.
AoD features will likely be broken up into cheaper feature options for purchase and the expac will include all content packs (I.e. Not features of AoD, freebloods, etc.)
I think content up to (but not including) the latest expansion will be accessible by F2P, too. That should be great news for people who run bot armies. Lol
