Can anyone post pics of the Christmas gifts and vet rewards please?
Would be great to get an answer here. The character I want to transfer is on my 7 year account.SOOOOO the qustion is this can a NON 14th year vet but a shard shield from a vet and lock down and use like teleporter tiles?
so the vet player, like the teleporters can get a payday from lesser mortals?
i can see so many negatives i wont whine here
BUT WOW i am 7th year want that these!!!!!!!
I just hope people populate that channel to help people, General is usually wheres Q's are answered.. Atleast from what I see."Trial accounts can only join the Help Channel."
Thank you!
I checked on a 5 year old account. Couldn´t see any of the new ones.I'm curious to see the age for the other rewards.

But it says that only the transfer tokens are account bound, doesn´t say anything about the shield being account bound. So sounds like the shields can be sold/traded.View attachment 7539
Looks like only vet accounts will be able to use them as they are account bound and will only give a shield and not a token to create a shield...
I suspect that given how easy it is to train up many skills, the optimal way to 'transfer' might be to make a few new characters on the future home shard, train up as much as you can, then using soulstones transferred with the 'main' characters to shift across the remaining skills, suits and such to get those new characters up and running. Should be possible to transfer the huge majority of kit needed in at the very most two transfers.The way I see it, the shard shield transfer will allow people who wants to move permanently to another shard to do it (no quick return possible), and that's extremely cool considering the number of vets stuck on low population shard that want to move to the "main" shards without having to buy 7 tokens (or more if you got many stuff).
I hope you are right. Thinking that way means that you need a house to be able to get a token since the shield needs to be locked down...once someone has gotten the token, the shield can be unlocked and locked down in someone elses house and they can get a token after a month and so on...But it says that only the transfer tokens are account bound, doesn´t say anything about the shield being account bound. So sounds like the shields can be sold/traded.
Same in Fel...not fun when you have 5 mud pies and earth ellies attacking you and your EV's decide to duke it out lol.UMMM BUG #1, my EVs, in Trammel, attacked each other on Origin.
The terrain for the EC has already gone in, high resolution graphics for the building walls is in the next pub. What will be in pub 75 is unknown - mobiles or plants. Mobiles will probably take the longest thanks to all of the items.When is the new art going in?
I moved to the US years ago IRL, so it is a logical to move in the game too, but don't worry it will take at least 7 months to get the tokens from the shield so I'm not going anywhere anytime soonwizal i forbid u to leave europa[END]
Not really, you would have to redo all the quests (Library, Spellweaving, Loyalty, Recipes, etc etc...), rebuy all the powerscrolls (all my chars have eaten nearly all 120s), loose the Personal Bless Deeds (they are character bound), etc... etc... No really it's way too much and the only solution for me has always been at least 7 transfer tokens, probably more if I want to move everything in my house, and I have always refused to pay for that, so those transfer shields are going to be perfect.I suspect that given how easy it is to train up many skills, the optimal way to 'transfer' might be to make a few new characters on the future home shard, train up as much as you can, then using soulstones transferred with the 'main' characters to shift across the remaining skills, suits and such to get those new characters up and running.

k if they patch all the shards with ppls EVs killing one another and not saying in their patch notes that it was intended... *eyesroll* come on yall.Same in Fel...not fun when you have 5 mud pies and earth ellies attacking you and your EV's decide to duke it out lol.
i have a question.Shard Shields – We have added this as the 14th year vet reward. These are new art that represence a specific shard. The shield will give you a character transfer token once a month to the shard it represence. The token is account bound, so they can not be traded or sold. If you have a shield in your house and the house decays the shield will disappear.
Fair points - Although if your crafter is the one to move over carrying stuff, the recipes are less of an issueNot really, you would have to redo all the quests (Library, Spellweaving, Loyalty, Recipes, etc etc...), rebuy all the powerscrolls (all my chars have eaten nearly all 120s), loose the Personal Bless Deeds (they are character bound), etc... etc...

Whether there is rhyme or reason to your abuse of your caps lock key is a profound mystery indeed.???? MAPPER ON EUROPA PRIME TIME THE GENERAL IS PURE KIDS BAD MOUTHING EACH OTHER ON PVP ISSUES AND.... u killed me cause u are using the speeder exploit..etc etc etc...
its bloody awefull...............why cant we have a kids channel for the pvp
you get 2 shields, one for your home shard and one for the other shard on the same account?i have a question.
does this shield HAVE TO BE LOCKED DOWN IN A HOUSE to use?
cause this may cause a problem.
cause if you read that you cant just claim 2 tokens on your home shard (say sonoma) cause the tokens are only one way.
so say your on sonoma and you pick up a ATL shield.
that shield will only give you tokens that go to ATL.
so getting 2 of them aint gonna get you home.
now, if you need to have that shield locked down in YOUR house to use.... well how you gonna get home?
cause you wont have a house on ATL to place your sonoma shield to get a token to send your toon home again.
understand where the problem is here?
and if you pick up one shield on one account and another shield on another account to send back, then your gonna be moving all your toons from one account to alt and pretty soon youll have nothing left on sonoma but a empy account with a house with a shield in it.
would be better if the shields kicked out a return ticket token, no?
On a 97 month old account I saw the sheep statue, the bracelets, and the seed box. The bracelets and seed box were sandwiched between the corrupted crystal portal and the weapon engraving tool in the miscellaneous section, so I'm not sure how old your account actually has to be to claim them. The sheep statue was the last thing listed for my 97-month character under the house add-on section of vet rewards. Don't have any other accounts with different ages that are currently eligible for vet rewards.I checked on a 5 year old account. Couldn´t see any of the new ones.I'm curious to see the age for the other rewards.
GRRR well the EV bug is pretty annoying lol I don't remember the bug being on Test or Shard of the Dead so something went wrong when they added content to Origin...unless I just didn't notice it on test...Same in Fel...not fun when you have 5 mud pies and earth ellies attacking you and your EV's decide to duke it out lol.
So far nothing but lesser and greater magic items as loot.
No christmas boxes/rewards that I could see and I can't claim vet rewards because my account is not aging.
Will test the barding stuff later, I have to force my kids to do homework now
exactlyyou get 2 shields, one for your home shard and one for the other shard on the same account?
My solution will be to have 5 shields and go from pac to atlantic then gl the next day then baja the next then europa the next day and back to pac
I didn't test EV's on test, I just used my pet, so now that it's on Origin I can test with my tamer, mage, archer...my peacer isn't quite done yet but I'm workin on it.GRRR well the EV bug is pretty annoying lol I don't remember the bug being on Test or Shard of the Dead so something went wrong when they added content to Origin...unless I just didn't notice it on test...
Now it all begins to make sense about the Shield transfer tokens. That should silence some of the speculation.
What exactly are you asking here? Unfortunatly I have to do further testing in Trammel because there are a few nubs in Fel pk'ing everyone in Shame right now lol.PLEASE tell me they did something about the loot drop system in response to all the suggestions (particularly my brillent ones:bowdown before dispatching the system to Origin. Unfortunately I have no characters of substance there to test.
Well, I can see one 14th year reward being the least claimed on Siege
As soon as I saw "It says (some obvious thing) but what does it MEAN?" I knew it was a Popps post.A transfer token once a month to the "shard it represents" ?
What does this exactly mean ?
The way im reading it is like this:
You pick your vet rewards, and choose Shard Shield
It will ask you "which shard?"
lets say you pick Great Lakes.
You will get a Great Lakes shield. Once a month, this shield will generate a Shard Transfer Token(account bound) that will take a char to Great Lakes.
Checked another account that is 6 years old. No new ones there either.On a 97 month old account I saw the sheep statue, the bracelets, and the seed box. The bracelets and seed box were sandwiched between the corrupted crystal portal and the weapon engraving tool in the miscellaneous section, so I'm not sure how old your account actually has to be to claim them.

aw popps do u play seige?? please tell all of us player name,??Actually, this is a very good point.
First of all, I must say that the Shards Shield is a very ingenuous and welcomed reward, IMHO, "if" the shard it represents changes daily, if the Shard Shield itself can be transferred (i.e. only the once a month generated token remains account bound...) and if pack animals carrying items can be used in the transfer.
This said, I think that there should have been an alternate 14th Year Rewards for those 14 Year Veteran Players who play Siege and Mugen as their main shard of preference........
As it is now, basically Siege and Mugen 14 Years Veteran players will have no new reward to claim this year.........

The way I see it, the shard shield transfer will allow people who wants to move permanently to another shard to do it (no quick return possible), and that's extremely cool considering the number of vets stuck on low population shard that want to move to the "main" shards without having to buy 7 tokens (or more if you got many stuff). Sure it will take months to plan, but at least it will now be doable!!! I have been waiting for this since years so I am extremely grateful!
Can you post a Pic of it plz...Ill just repeat it again - the Sheep Statue is a 7th year reward. I claimed one, the deed for it says so itself
popps look think out pick a small low pop shard farm it transfer to a high pop shard atl sell flip back in forth!!!!!!!!!!! this is game changing in alot of ways"If" the shard represented by the shield does not change, for example daily, but is instead permanent, then I entirely disagree with you and I see this 14th Year Veteran Reward as totally useless or hardly much usefull at all.......
Why ?
Say that a 14th Year Vet is on a low poppulated shard. Let's say Oceania, for example.
This Vet wants to transfer to a more populated shard, let's say Pacific.
Well, I do not know others, but "if" the Shard Shield picked as a 14th Year Vet Reward was to only be for Pacific (i.e. a permanent representation of the Pacific shard), what good would it do to me once I am moved to Pacific for good ?
I would have basically wasted a 14th Year Vet Reward pick for a one time use. No thanks, I'd much rather prefer to buy a regular transfer token and keep the pick for a much better use.....
"If" instead, the Shard Shield has been designed to vary the Shard it represents daily, and leave to the player the choice, day after day, for which shard to pick an account bound transfer token, than this 14th Year Vet Reward could be of more convenient use even after having transferred from Oceania to Pacific because once transferred to Pacific, the player could still make good use of this 14th Year Vet Reward to generate, once a month, a token to transfer, perhaps temporarily, to some other shard.
The shield is a pretty simple concept folks... But you would need to get *at least* two for constant travel.
Here's how you do it.
First, get a shield for the shard you're on, say GL. This shield will produce tokens to Xfer TO GL.
Second, get a shield for the shard you want to travel to, say Atl. This shield will produce tokens to Xfer TO Atl.
You put a GL token in your bag, you then USE the Atl token to xfer. You do business on Atl, then USE the GL token to return home.
Not rocket science.
Check this thread out... We get a symbol?Soo...not even available as decor for siege :/ ****ing lame
