What are White Medals & Badges?

Hey all,

Yesterday I recieved some white medals and white badges as part of a trade for some items, the trader hadn't a clue to tell me what they were for but they looked interesting enough and I hadn't heard of them so I took them as part of a deal, I got four medals and three badges stacked so if anyone has a clue what these are about I'd appreciate hearing it.

Also I was sold on a couple of other never before seen but heard about items, one which increases bag slots, I bought it and made a five slot bag into ten slot by clicking on it like using dye, but I was wondering since the slots we have on characters show one backpack slot and one pouch and two bags if these are going to have upgraded backpacks and bags to put in them later or just using the slot enhancements thingy like I bought yesterday.

Also I got a couple of runes for my Ranger one of minor beastmastery and one of major beastmastery and notice the major has a penalty of -50 health, does anyone know the differance of what these minor major do cause I used a different minor and both minor and major seem to only enhance that skill by one point, I would have thought the major would enhance it two points or more since the penalty is quite severe.

The badges are items you turn into collectors at various positions. White Mantle Badges are collected in the Kryta region. The stone summit badges are collected somewhere near Yaks Bend (been a while cant really remember the exact location)

As to runes.... the -50 hp rune should have given you +2 to your stat. There are +3s that come at a -75 hp penalty

Thanks that's what I suspected it being a trade in item for something from an NPC's but wasn't sure.



Well I have 4 Beastmastery and when I remove my mask which I put the major on it comes down from 5 to 4 again so it's only giving me 1 point, I guess I got a dud.
