Each Pre-Order Key onlocks one of the items for your whole account. All you have to do is type "/preorder" and the apear in your inventory, even if you have thrown them away in the past.

Yes, they are auto-customized. I am looking for an unused Pre-Order key or some one who wants to transfer there Pre-Order key from their account to mine. (requires support staff to make the change)

Try Ebay. People were selling them at one point. There may be some still out there. You have to get the one from EBGames to get the Ithas Bow.

(Typing /preorder is only necessary if you have trashed it for a particular character. Otherwise it appears once the key is entered.)

And (maybe stupid question) Where do you get such keys?

That's not a stupid question.

Before the game was released if you pre-ordered it you got beta event access and some nice to haves. They gave you GW music on CD and a special weapon for your account when the game went live. Depending upon where you pre-ordered determined the item you received. I got the Ithas Bow from EBGames. My wife got the War Pick from the GameStop pre-order.

Your account actually allows you to have all the pre-order items. People actually bought pre-order boxes at all the locations just to get all the keys for the items (then they cancelled their order at all but one place).

Some places were just dumping the pre-order boxes once the game came out. My wife and I paid for the above two pre-orders and then stores just handed us the boxes for another War Pick, Ithas Bow, and Kanthan Targe (all of which we gave away).

Some people started selling them on Ebay.

Truth is the items are not the best in the game. The Ithas Bow I have doesn't do max damage. I still like it and use it but there are better bows out there. The same can be said for the other items.

The /preorder command was added later after people trashed theirs and then wanted them back.

I got a Censor's Icon that's pretty worthless to me, even my primary monk. And it is important to note that they are customized for your character so the item itself is completely useless to others. And since they are not max, they do not upset the "balance" of the game.

I have a good question about those items...

Are they max'ed out?

Because I mean, if they are not. What is the point to have them ? :P

If so, then I guess the best item would be the Euro Collectors one.. =O~

The Ithas Bow has a Marksmenship requirement of 10 too which has annoyed some people. I have some max damage bows which require only 8 which is the complaint I have seen posted the most.

They are novelty items really once you get to level 16 or higher. I like the look of it. I use it when I am helping a friend with a lower level character through a quest or mission.

I have never heard of anyone transfering one with a support request but it sounds like Crowbar knows someone who has or has asked ANet if it was okay.

I checked Ebay last night and there are maybe a half dozen for sale but none of them state the store they came from. So there is no way to determine which item key you would get from it.
