Bonus mission pack: repeatability
Boneyard Spleeneater
So reading the wiki, is seems that the bonus missions are repeatable as often as I want (for as many weapons as I may want), but the discoveries can only be done once per account. Is that correct?
Thanks.
Thanks.

That is correct.

Yes. What this means is that you can get unlimited numbers of items by repeating a mission, but the discovery bonus books are only to be done once.

I've done Gwen's escape four or five times, but didn't notice any "bonus book". What are you referring to here? I got my warrior a charr axe/shield and my elementalist a charr wand/focus. I don't remember being given a book for any of them though.

You probably just missed them. Above wiki page includes links to find out what the discoveries are if you wanna be spoiled.

Completing each mission also unlocks “Discovery Mode” for that mission, adding three hidden, bonus goals for you to discover. For each bonus goal you complete, you will receive an additional 2,500 gold and Durmand will offer any one character on your account an additional authorized story. The bonus goals can only be earned once for each account, but they offer nothing that cannot be obtained through simply running the missions repeatedly, as there is no limit to the number of times you may repeat a mission for an additional 500 gold and authorized story. Note that you only need to complete a mission once per account to unlock discovery mode for that mission for all characters on that account. |

Yeah same thing with me, i got the bonus mission pack but no discovery book thingy. It is probally a new thing since i havent done the bonus in awhile. Ill go try it out.

When you complete a discovery, the book doesn't appear in your inventory. You need to talk to Durmand again and choose the option to talk about discoveries. Then you can ask him to give you the extra book for any discovery that you've completed. This allows the discovery bonus books to be claimed by any character on your account. Just have the character that should receive the book talk to Durmand about discoveries, and the bonus book will be customized and given to that character.

Ah that's why I had him give my ele a free authorized copy of Gwen's story. Thanks for the info.

If your doing Discoveries, I'm fairly sure that theres some green text in your chat box that says X/X of action completed. For example, in the battle of Jahai, It says something like "you have discovered X of 5 strategic viewpoints where Turai Ossa could've gained the upper hand in the battle."

It seems to me on further study that you can repeat the quest for as many weapons as you want, but you only get the big gold/xp bonus once per account.

BMP is awesome for not only its skins, but also for the GREAT bonuses you get from discoveries. You can get 7.5k per story (2.5k per discovery) which will amount to A LOT of money while doing very unique missions.

Those missions are so fun! Plus the skins are freakin sweet.
Boneyard Spleeneater
That is what I was getting at. You can earn a total of 30k from the mission pack on your account, and that is all. After that, you earn no xp or gold, but you can get as many skins and weapons as you want. The wiki did not explicitly state that as I recall, although I could be mistaken.
