$4.99 USD gets you the upgrade to "Game of the Year" edition of Prophecies if you don't have it. I'm still not sure if a few items are worth 5 bucks. They seem like great items for new characters but after that ehh!

They're fine even for high level play - EvIL were using them for ages (Master always had the shield. Always).

I picked it up because it's a great source of items for heroes.

Just bought it myself, it was worth the £2.99 for the shield skin alone. As rubics says, second reason I got it, was for the heroes. This, along with the preorder items from NF + Factions, means you have a max damage weapon for every class, which you can spawn as many times as you like!

I got it for my pre ascalon characters and for heroes.

Hyper Cutter · Dec 21, 2006, 06:12 AM // 06:12

I got it primarily for heroes (most of mine are woefully underequipped). Though admittedly, the bow skin is pretty sweet...

dansamy · Dec 21, 2006, 06:25 AM // 06:25

I'm going to buy it. Just because I think they are beautiful items.

puteh · Dec 21, 2006, 06:29 AM // 06:29

how do i get preoder item(not GOTY items)?

jimmy_logic · Dec 21, 2006, 06:38 AM // 06:38

Nice... bought myself a pack. Yeah wonder if you can get the preorder items... even though they aren't maxed weapons still nice to get them though.

Tarus From Taros · Dec 21, 2006, 06:42 AM // 06:42

I won't be buying them until they fix it so the weapons can be modded again. Missing a mod per weapon is just worthless imo. No matter how pretty the skin is.

they were using them for showing off. These items were special items before GOTY came out.

Master always had the shield cuz there was no green shields and very very few rare shields match the stats of it. Bloodlight switch back to a hammer with HP30 mod on it whenever he's got low on HP. They were showing off.

O.O.....at least I didn't spend full price on mine... :/

But really, they are so awesome to have for heroes...

puteh · Dec 21, 2006, 08:08 AM // 08:08

are there factions preorder pack for asia?

Mad King Corn · Dec 21, 2006, 08:10 AM // 08:10

Awesome, now if anet would add the collectors edition upgrades for purchase, that would be sweet. I wish now I had the collectors edition of factions and prophicies.

Quid Pro Quo · Dec 21, 2006, 08:24 AM // 08:24

Bought it but could a dev please tell us if not being able to upgrade the bonus items with mods is a bug or not?

Please Anet, with limited skins for certain items, bonus items are sometimes the only way to get a skin a player likes. Let us change the mods on them theres no reason not to let us. I think they should be dyable too seeing as theres again no reason not to let us do that.

A little freedom goes a long way! Just because you found the spear of jesus doesn't mean you wouldn't be able to dye it or barb it. Please?

Nanood · Dec 21, 2006, 08:53 AM // 08:53

Well I usually buy all the upgrades lol cause im a bit silly...

So, considering i have 4 accounts in total and wanted to purchase the upgrade for each account I went to the store for each account and proceeded to purchase said upgrades until I got to the fourth account upgrade where i was informed that it was the stores opinion that the transaction I was attempting to purchase was "fraud suspicious" and denied it. I would like to say that credit card companies have checks in place to police activity that seems suspicious that are very effective and I really don't need Anet or NcSoft or their merchant to be policing my account purchase transaction activity. It's not as if I haven't purchased many things through the store before...

RTSFirebat · Dec 21, 2006, 09:13 AM // 09:13

Nice of them to add this upgrade, some of the items you can get look really nice. I don't plan to get it however, till they fix the fact we can't unlink the shop from our NCSoft account.

Nokkers · Dec 21, 2006, 09:15 AM // 09:15

i bought prophecies a few weeks ago and it was the GOTY version so i didnt have to pay extra.

Diablo™ · Dec 21, 2006, 09:55 AM // 09:55

for 5 bucks?

hell ya, what a deal! Compare with what the equivalent would be for on *gasp* ebay.

Redfeather1975 · Dec 21, 2006, 10:33 AM // 10:33

I just got it after reading this post.
I like the bow skin.
I wish too that I could upgrade them. It would be nice to add another upgrade to the bow.
