How much do Heroic Characters cost?
For the first two weeks (3/12-3/26), the first Heroic Character each player creates is FREE!
Additional Heroic Characters can be purchased for 3500SC.
How do I make a Heroic Character?
Players will have the option to create a FREE Heroic Character when they log into their account and use the Upgrade Character button from the Character Creation Screen.
Players can also choose to use the Heroic Character button to upgrade an existing character to level 85. That upgraded character will receive all the perks of being a Heroic Character.
What specifically does a Heroic Character start with?
All Heroic Characters will be battle ready, and geared to explore Norrath! They will start with the following:
15,000 Platinum
Jungle Raptor Mount
Two 24-Slot Bags
Spells
Thousands of Auto-Granted Alternative Advancement Abilities (AA’s)
Full Set of Equipment, including weapons, armor, Power Source and Charm
Food, Drink, and Ammo
100 Bayle Marks
Note: The platinum a Heroic Character starts with is a one-time offering, rewarded to the first character you create or upgrade using the feature. If you delete your character and make a new one, you will not receive the platinum again. Delete wisely!
Note: You will still be eligible for the platinum reward each time you purchase the Heroic Character feature.
If I update an existing character to a Heroic Character how will I receive these rewards?
Your Heroic Character option can be used on an existing character. These characters will keep everything they had before, and will receive all of the items that Heroic Characters start with.
Players will receive three reward windows to claim all of the Heroic Character rewards. Players will need available bag space to claim each of these rewards.
Are there limitations on these AA’s?
Heroic Characters will have full access to thousands of Alternative Advancement Abilities (AA’s). Players that don’t currently have a subscription will need a membership or need to purchase individual AA unlockers to continue to earn AA points after they have the cap on Free-To-Play characters.
What skills does a Heroic Character start with?
All skills will be maxed for your level, with the exception of Language and tradeskills.
Can players create a Heroic Character on Progression Servers?
Fippy Darkpaw and Vulak’Aerr will not have Heroic Characters until the Call of the Forsaken expansion is unlocked. These servers will not be eligible for a free Heroic Character since Call of the Forsaken will not be unlocked during the two-week trial period.
Do I need an available character slot to create a Heroic Character.
Yes.
If you don't have an available character slot, you can choose to update any of your current characters to be a Heroic Character.
