The only time you run out of chances is when you stop taking them. |
Take a gander at this link for impressions, pictures and conclusions aochideout.blogspot.com/2009/10/first-look-at-veteran-rewards.html courtesy of Slith and his blog at assassins hideout. This just recently went on the test sever. All Pictures clickable. From the above link: To sum it up: "FC finally have implemented the system and the core is there. Current rewards are not breath taking, but also there is nothing really to complain about. The swift mounts are going to be fairly common now, but then again they are not that hard to get anyway (3weeks of tier3 mats grinding would easly bring you that ammount of coin). Looking foward to Funcom expanding this in the future with social clothes. Please, no more teleports and thumbs up from me!"
The following is an info post made on the test forums and linked at the bottom. Quartermaster locations :
Conarch Village - next to the Wayfarer of Asura and Waudreen the Fine Armor vendor Old Tarantia - in the Market Ward, near Minerva Khemi - next to the Tradepost
Veteran Points and how you earn them : Players will be awarded new veteran points for each month that they have paid for (whether it is through subscription or game-cards). Each month that a player pays for will accrue a certain number of points, with the number of points awarded each month growing after each six-month period they have subscribed for. In addition there is a bonus amount awarded at each six month interval. (These numbers are still subject to possible change over the next couple of weeks as the system gets put through it paces on Testlive). * Month 1 to 5 – 6 points awarded per month Points will be available for each character separately, so there is no need to ration points per character. All Veteran rewards are going to be character bound.
Advanced Riding Training - 20 points Note :
This is all just the beginning. In the future, we hope to add more cool items and special purchasable rewards! Thanks for playing Age of Conan and we hope you will have fun with these new items!

Yeah...! haha. Test server is down for maintainance at the moment so I can't add to this for a couple days. The picture is clickable and you can see the clevage icon. There are a few things in there that are handy. I can see ppl going for the mounts and boots.

Revenge is a dish best served with mayonnaise and those little cheesy things on sticks. |

Yup fireworks. The current ones in game are set to 8hr recharge. That is one heck of a recharge timer, don't know what the veteran fireworks timer is. If it is 8hrs don't expect anyone to be buying it. .. .... .- - . - .-. --- .-.. .-.. ... .-- .... --- .-. . .--. --- .-. - .-.-.- |

Veteran FireWorks (red or blue) at the moment have a 30 minute cooldown for 12 rockets. Had a bit of testing done today. Seems like all the enlarging rewards last for 10 minutes. Blue Fireworks:
Red:
Body Enlarge ( 20% ): Before Enlarge: After Enlarge:
Breast Enlarging: (more so in width < > )
Veteran Boots (looks + stats)
Casilda, summons to cheer you on!
A Pet Hyena:
The GUI for tokens is neat and not in the way, lets say up until today I had X amount, if I go and pay for another 6 months I will get more on top because of that. So far so good, test server crowd seems to like the teleport's. I think they will introduce some more fun in to the game.

Of course some are saying that the breast enlargement is not big enough and at first glance might not seem that big. I think it puts it more in line with what it was before they made the change just after launch. Although if you enlarge person and then enlarge breasts then it is eye catching.

First, fantastic job with the pics. Second, so these enlargement potions are only for a limited time? You learn the spell right so it is permanently in my spell bank and I can recast it without having to visit this vendor to buy more enlarging? I like the path rewards probably the most or the bag. To bad you can't get one that is "Path the to king", towards the end of the levels that running back and forth between Conan is a pain in the ass. Thanks for posting pictures and saving me some points I don't have to waste to try out in the future. .. .... .- - . - .-. --- .-.. .-.. ... .-- .... --- .-. . .--. --- .-. - .-.-.- |

Yep, you pay the tokens for what you want. They double click to learn as a spell/ability. You can then drag to the hotbar if desired. You can re-cast anytime (when not in cooldown) The bag is good as it fits inbetween the expensive and popular choices. Good suggestion for the Path to the King, we have to get them to think about that. The enlarge arms is funny, forgot to get a picture of that, will post up in a moment or two. As a woman what do you think of the breast enlargement, whats your opinion on it? if ok to ask. For me it is kinda funny, I know a few females who play that like to have more control over the way their character looks. Maybe not so in the breast department. A guess at the end of the day I still see it as a game aimed at a mature audience so it is a trivial quirk.

I think they are ok. When I first read about them my mind thought Funcom was going to poke fun at themselves and I remembered EQ2 with the bighead (heads look like bobble heads) command. I thought they were going to be a lot bigger. I figure they didn't really want to over do the effect because some person will use the collision in this game to "boob block" people haha. I usually, depending on class, just adjust the body build in AoC and then just mess with the face and tattoos. The rest I just leave alone. It all looks the same to me once in game. What does your wife think of them? .. .... .- - . - .-. --- .-.. .-.. ... .-- .... --- .-. . .--. --- .-. - .-.-.- |

Wife just thinks they are a bit of fun. With Conan about being brutal and a barbarian that comes that impression with having a woman too. So with retrospect to the lore and summing things up she just thinks it "pokes a bit of harmless fun". Same thing with the arms, you get that significant boost that some guys think makes them look better (just like some guys think bigger breasts haha) So same concept really. You can't make a guys man boobs bigger, but women's arms I think you can. So all in all a bit of fun :) Here are some pictures of the arm enlargement ability:

Expect a nerf to the Fireworks, they will be exploited to cause lag/fps issues for pvp advantage. Crappy vet option anyway. Free mounts / riding are the only worth while rewards |

Yep, AOC is certainly for 'mature' players. More nonsense with 'boobs' rather than adding content. |
