......delivered at launch of Fables of the Feywild (scheduled November 4th, 2020). so we have the launch date too nice.

Hmm, the lists in the top half are incomplete, so this may not be 100% ready for players to view.

Cool find though. How did you stumble upon it?

Anybody know what the Tome of Destiny does? Is it +1 point in each Epic Destiny? (Since you can only have 1 Epic Destiny at a time)

"Fight" Unicorns, Cooshees, & Blink Dogs??

Hmph.

Just the tidbit they detail on the page, "A Tome of Destiny +1 for all your characters existing and new, giving an extra point to spend in all your Epic Destiny trees;"

[LeoLionxxx]

And one part says "Black Unicorn" while another says "White Unicorn Mount". The gallery and "expand all" button are also broken (on Firefox at least).

Methinks SSG has an updated & polished version ready to go once they're ready to point players to it!

A Tome of Destiny +1 for all your characters existing and new, giving an extra point to spend in all your Epic Destiny trees. Is what it says.

The what you get per version indicated that white is for Ultimate & Collector's version while black is ultimate only. So ultimate comes with 2 mounts.

Sounds like the ED revamp is going to make them work more like the Enhancement trees with a global pool of points to spend in X amount of trees.

Displacement Beast ? I remember a restaurant/tavern scene in an Eberron novel in which the guest was advised to target with his fork several centimetres away / next to the visible meat on the plate in order to eat it.

thx for the link

My question would be: How is a tome of destiny different than the already existing tomes of fate? If they don't stack, that's a massive disincentive to get the ultimate pack.

Ravenloft and Sharn ultimate packs did have a fair amount of stuff to recommend them over the medium grade pack. I'm not seeing it this time around.

Epic Bard Hireling - Don't care, waste of inventory space.
Razorclaw Shifter Iconic - Nice to be sure, but I have DOZENS of lives to run before then, plenty of time to get store points and get it in a year. Or three.
Eladrin Cosmetics - Don't care, waste of 3 inventory spaces.
Displacer Beast cosmetic pet - Don't care, but at least it doesn't waste an inventory space.
Black Unicorn Mount - Don't care, the White one is in the medium pack, and I already have a horse. Waste of inventory space.
Teleport to Feywild - Ok? But convenience at best.
Tome of Destiny +1 - Might be good, more info needed.

Spending $50 to occupy 6 inventory slots sounds like a really bad deal to me. Those 6 inventory slots are worth more than all of those items could ever be.

Edit-

Looking at the editions, the medium pack doesn't look so great either.

Feydark Illusionist Tree - Potentially useful for those pure Charisma builds and whatnot. I assume that like Inquisitive and Vistani, it will be attainable via favor in Feydark, so this is valueless.
Character Slot - I already have enough of those.
Feywild Cosmetics - Waste of 3 inventory slots.
White Unicorn - I already have a horse. Unless this is MASSIVELY (not just slightly) faster or provides some other benefit like being more difficult to be dismounted by rando attacks in the wilderness, it is useless.
Cosmetic Pet - All cosmetic pets are a waste.
Heroic Bard Hireling - Would need to see an ability list of this hireling, but odds are it will not be very useful above what I can get with platinum (or perm gold seals I already have).

So that leaves the basic pack. Feywild and Shifter - I already have Epic Destinies, I really hope that they are not billing us for that.

It gives you an additional point to spend on your active destiny. Has nothing to do with twists of fate.

It'd be nice if they included a mount bag.

Maybe I'm being dense but where are the pre-order bonuses? It isn't specified what is or isn't, can't remember if that was the case last time though.

[Saaluta]

Fixed it for you

When SSG started doing expansions (instead of Turbine) they stopped including exclusive pre-purchase items. That way players don't feel bad about not being able to shell out early and miss out on cool things, like the Spider cult mask and Onyx panther.

No pre-order bonuses. They stopped doing that; there's just tier bonuses and being able to do things like play on the new races/trees right away vs waiting.

Bought the $130 bundle! I can't wait to ride my unicorn all over Stormreach!
