I got to wander around the test server for a bit this afternoon, and guess what, lucky guys? I've brought you lots of info on the store, which will be available when f2p launches on June 12th.
Thanks to this first overview, it is possible to see a little the prices that will be charged. See therefore:
You can see the REX option on the right. REX is a tradable item that can be sold at the auction house. These REX give the user 1250 credits. A good way for Trion to fight against the gold merchants and a way for the refractory to the shop to spend credits without touching the wallet.
Now let's take a look at the heart of the store, which is classified into 13 categories.
Services
In this category, you will find "practical" services for your character and your guild. You will thus find subscriber passes that allow you to benefit from the advantages of a subscriber, for 3, 15 or 30 days.
Here are the real money conversions:
- 3 days: € 2,46
- 15 days: € 7,38
- 30 days: € 12,30
You will also find in this category changes of faction, as well as of name for your character and your guild.
But also items, such as the Transfiguration Trinket, which allows you to give the appearance of an object to another, or items to remove a rune from an equipment or an essence from a planar focus.
Stimulations
In this category, you will find items allowing you to increase the gain of experience, notoriety and currency for 2 hours, and whose effect persists after death.
Experimental vials
Vials of notoriety
Badge tablets
Each item has three effect levels:
- Lower: increases gain by 15%
- From the trader: increases the gain by 50%
- Superiors: increases gain by 100%
Safes and keys
Keys are available for sale, which presumably open chests that can be obtained in-game.
Very mysterious crates are also available, with a very mysterious content.
There are also chests containing dimensional items.
Equipment
In the Equipment category, there is ... well, yes, equipment! You can see several categories, listing the different types of equipment:
I'm not going to show you everything, as it would take a considerable amount of time, but I will give you some examples of what can be found there. Take bundles, they are in fact complete equipment packs, classified according to level (1-9, 10-19, 20-29, etc.) and according to class and role (tank - heal - dps). These packs are accessible either in credit or in turntables, or in game currency such as planarites.
For example, at my current level (33), playing dps spec thief, here is what I might find useful:
Now let's imagine that I'm a level 55 Cleric specializing in tanking, here's what I could get:
Price:
- Neophyte (level 1-9): 140 credits or 24pp
- Initiated (level 10-19): 400 credits or 60pp
- News (level 20-29): 1000 credits or 150pp
- Adept (level 30-39): 1620 credits or 240pp
- Expert (level 40-49): 2400 credits or 360pp
- Elite (level 50-59): 3240 credits or 480pp
