Sounds like the best one yet for any non-ranger and usually non-warrior.

Damn - thats just awesome.

Hey, look, a preorder item that might actually be useful to my main character!
Pity you can't trade preorder items. *sighs*

Well, I still don't expect any of the preorder items to be any good - that's just a huge imbalance and regional bias waiting to happen, especially considering how the items cannot be traded.
I'd expect it to be something with a nice graphic that'll help out in the lowbie areas, an advertisement for the presale stores but not a whole lot more. But we'll see. I'd like to be able to trade my preorder item for something useful to my characters, but we'll see what they decide to do.

I'm guessing my Ithas Bow will be useful up until I reach seared ascalon or a tiny bit past. But a good start never hurts.

I'm with Weezer on this one, the Bow that you receive when you pre-order from EB games will be a big help early going, and I believe the other items will be good to have also. I am also glad that they're giving us things to start with that will help early on.
Peace.

You guys are right. I spoke with one of the game designers today and they've actually tweaked the special items to be a little nicer than originally intended. They are not "end of game" items, I don't imagine, but they're also not going to be items that you toss away after you leave the Kingdom of Ascalon, either.
I agree that the European special item also sounds very nice. We're so happy to have this news for the many thousands of people awaiting the opportunity to preorder in Europe, and I am personally delighted with the notion of having an even greater change of forming a team made up of people from all over the world.

Thanks Gaile, though it sounds to me like the Euro item is pretty universal whereas the other items were originally tailored to a specific profession.
If that's what is fixed, then I'll be happy.

Well that kinda sux for us then huh? I sure hope they change our special items, or at least take any requirements off of them. Euros can basically get 4 different special items if they have 4 characters.
Weezer_Blue
assuming that each character gets one (by the way, how exactly will these work?)
anyway, I don't think we should mind giving a little extra to the europeans because they had to wait longer for their chance to preorder and had to scrounge around for keys for the past months. they deserve a versatile start for their persistance.

Anyway, please adjust the items so you don't have to check the gw website before deciding whom to preorder from...

Actually, the Best Buy shield is linked to Tactics, so it isn't even a Warrior item - it's a secondary Warrior item. Real Warriors use Strength shields.
