I rememebr before the game was released people said it was only going to be useful in the beginning, but now Iam hearing that they are actually pretty good. This makes me piss, since Idid preorder Guild Wars but did not receieve any preorder box. Anyways, back on the topic. So is the preorder items worth it? How long do you think you will be using them?

Here is an example..........What I don't know is if the item will scale as you gain attribute points.


Ithas Bow 13-24 Req 10 Marksmanship
+5 Armour Req 10 Expertise
+20% damage

I wouldn't mind a Ithas Bow, but all I got was a Chrmeric Prism:

Armour + 5 (Req. 8 Divine Favor)
Energy +6 (Req. 8 Divine Favor)
Energy + 10 (Req. 8 Soul Reaping)
Armour + 10 (Req. 8 Strength)
Armour + 8 (Req 8 Expertise)

So, it's not really any good for a Necromancer/Ranger using two-handed bows!

Yes my ranger is fairly unhappy with her Chimeric Prism, Ithas Bow would be much nicer However living 1000's of km's from the US makes this kinda hard.

Too bad the preorder items can't be traded. I'd gladly give you my Ithas Bow for your prism.
