Japan's Unique Items

Just a clarification: these are not pre-order items, per say. The Japanese get these items just for buying the boxed retail version. They are also able to download the client for free and then pay low monthly fees in cybercafes, etc. but these players don't get the unique items.

I figured one of the Monk item specs would be "+20% glittering dust pick-up".

We actually had to WORK for our max, un-unique items and you could only get the pre-order items... if you PRE-ORDERED... and they still sucked.
Are we absolutely sure that they get them just by buying the game, that they are customized, and that they get all 7?

Don't cheer though, you can't trade the un-customized ones either, at least, you can't trade the Pre-Order un-customized items, probably won't be different with these.

I want that Hammer sooooo bad =(
It makes my Ram Hammer look like a play toy.

Hammers never get any cool, flashy weapons like Chaos Axes, Dwarven Axes, Serpent Axes, Fiery/Icey Dragon Swords, Crystaline Swords, and Fellblades (Not to mention the cool shields). Closest thing Hammer has is the Rightous Maul, and that's not too hot =/
They finally add a cool looking one, but only for Japan.

Give Japan a break. I agree, these are really nice, but what advantage can they get from it. Korean, Europen and American districts all had very much time to get great weapons. I think they diserve this in Japan, it's just one item.

Id also like to point out that we got Halloween hats and what ever the Xmas gifts will be as well as Icy Dragon Swords. Im sure by the time they get the game they wont be able to get them. At least one thing to rub in thier faces 
.

snapp
Actually I don't think icy dragons will be removed, and that means by the time Japan can get them,at the rate of current farming they will cost what fiery dragons cost now. So Everyone on the servers when IDS were released that were paying 30K for them will be shafted again.
I will trade my halloween crown, whatever Xmas gimmick and all my halloween crap for that shield

Those items will be like the cencors item, it just links onto your char, cant drop it or even show it in trade.
Those items arent just gimmics tho, they are marketing for japan and korea, MMO is big business over there, its all about trends, one game becomes cool and everyone goes out and buys it, over here we just buy the game if it got a good review in magazine, no need for massive promotions..

Damn. I'd kill to see an empty Lion's Arch again, just because noone else got as far as Lion's Arch yet, if I could just get to play in the Japanese servers for 2 days..
And I'd really like the Hammer too, I wonder if I buy the Japanese version of the game, what will happen. There are alot of Europeans with American Pre-Order items, maybe you can just add a Japanese key to your account. Though, if these items are randomly signed to your account, I won't take that risk, don't want to be stuck with one of those useless items

Though, Korean Coke items weren't available in our contries (right..?), so I don't think we can get these after all.

Good Luck earning your own favor against people worth one year of experience.
I remember how bad it was for Europe when the game was out here. We got our behinds kicked day in day out by US beta people.

But linking it to Full Metal Alchemist might be a bit of a stretch, sorry!

"Have you tried one of the other major religions, Ned? They're all pretty much the same..."
Point being, I would wager that no religion has ever disagreed with the seven deadly sins, at least on principle.

Damnit! I want to invade Japan solely for these items! AARGH!

@Dentenko, female Monks look like maids anyway. Especially with that starter armor. It's very ugly though.. Probably the worst looking of all. We monks always get screwed
And about the sins again, here (in Holland) we actually had icecream named after the 7 sins. And I don't think icecream is "Christian-only"

haha, monks are maids, they wear a skimpy apron-style armor and get orders from everyone else "heal me now!" "res!" "hurry n res me!!!"

You all do realize you could probably pay $10 and acquire one of these items. I'm sure some store will be like Best Buy (I think) was and sell only the pre-order item code for $10. If it's worth the cost to you, try and find a store to buy the code from. >.>

That sheild has to be the ugliest thing i've ever seen, even uglier than hydromancer armor, i mean it looks like a cheap belt buckle, and that mesmer weapon looks like a broken dragon sword, the necro staff reminds me of cobra from GI joe and the ele weapon looks like it got jacked off of some karokee machine, i rather poke myself in the eye than weild any of these
