Pre Order Items

Even if they are the worst, they are yours for paying more for the pre-order, and a small token of saying thank you, even if they do, indeed, suck.
And even if they do, the preorder items have 'vanity' qualities about them. Some just like to flaunt them.
To the OP: I've heard this was widespread, I myself had no trouble, but some of my friends have, and I know more then you and my friends have this problem.
Maybe it's a bug or something. I dunno.

it's a bug, if you trash them and then type /preorder, the new set can be equiped

Even if they suck, what are the preorder items?

Im guessing no screen shot are available for this. Ive talked with some other players, they dont know anything about these items either.

there basicaly items that you got if you pre ordered guildwars.They have completely diferent looks,stats and names to normal items making them totaly unique.

I can confirm that if you trash the preorder items, then type /preorder to get them back, they can then be equipped.
And I dont think they are that bad really. They have to be worse than what you could get In-Game or people would be angry.

chimeric prism (my one) is pretty good :P Not perfect, but pretty good. Anyhoo, yes i'm having problems. My ranger has a great rod for trapping, but recently deleted her chimeric prism (for about the 7th time 
). However I have no decent offhand now, so I decided to get it back last night.
Type in /preorder
Nothing. Tried 2 more times. Nothing. Tried closing inventory then typing it. Nothing.

I've been using the Canthan Targe with my W/N ever since I was able to get my reqs high enough to make it useful. Once I find another shield that has a higher armor rating with a +4 or higher energy, I'll consider swapping it out. The +30 health is nice, too.
I have yet to join a PUG where at least one member doesn't notice it and starts in with the "OMGWTFBBQwheredidyougetthatshieldImusthaveit! " I just wish you could dye it. At least it shows up a nice silver in the inventory slot.

Still using my Canthan Targe. Haven't had any trouble equipping it. But its my only shield, so it never gets unequipped. Not sure what to tell you. If there really is a problem, I'm not sure I want to delete mine and then /preorder to find out that it doesn't work and lose my shield.

I've been using my Ithas Bow since the launch and have yet to have a problem with it.
I am curious about the deletion rules. If you delete it and use the recover command do you lose any upgrades/dye that was applied?

yes, you'll loose any applied upgrades. /preorder simply gives you to default item as per the code you entered.

Wow, these items are beautiful.
Can you use them in PvE?

You can use the Pre-Orders for any character you create for the account - PvE or PvP. It is a little disappointing to have the items only carry average stats at best, but that was done so no one would have an overwhelming advantage once the game was released. However, since we have now seen what the affects of using superior armor and skills have done to the Ascalon Arena, Anet should make an effort to recode the stats for all the Pre-Order items to make them more useful, and do the same if they plan Pre-Orders for Chapter Two.

You can no longer create them in instance - it has to be in town.
I had problems with my ithas bow too; I don't tend to use it (I think they should have ben made as good as a collector item really, that way you wouldn't be better than anyone else, but at least you wouldn't be worse) but sometimes I make one so that I have a missile weapon on a warrior for example, or I put it in my 4th slot on a necro to be able to ping mark of pain from a distance. Deleting it and typing /preorder fixed it.

You can get a pre-order key from someone and, according to other threads I have seen here, get Anet to transfer the pre-order code from their account to yours.
They also continue to be sold on eBay. You just need to make sure you get the right pre-order box to match whichever item you want. The boxes indicate the store which tells you the item (listed on the link that Rotten provided to the GW official site).
dargon
ANet will not transfer a code for you. You'll only chance is to find an unopened/unused box/code on ebay or at your local shop, though given that the game has been out for roughly 8-9 months now finding a box might be difficult.

hmmm, tnx for the info, this realy sucks, I asked at the shops some dont have it and some look at me with there big cow eyes and ask me what I'm talking about :S
