By 100 new items, they meant adornments. and an armor crate. thats pretty blegh.
It is bleh. Not sure why I was expecting anything more though.
/..\ I’ve feedbacked soooo many times about all the furniture items that are programmed in the game but unobtainable (you can snag item tags off Zam and look at them. I think it’s stuff from when they designed zones), and I was soooo elated thinking they were going to make some of them available now on the loyalty merchant… ah well….. maybe next time. :\
Is it true that 4X Etyma is actually 3X etyma as some have been posting on https://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/index.php?threads/producers-letter-may-june-news.548325/page-7 ?
It would seem it is not true. I seem to be getting the correct rewards except for the scrolls for collections gained by low level characters. On leveling a character to 92 and claiming the scroll, no bonus.
