Legends of Norrath Preview: Loot Card Overview

Legends of Norrath ties the fantastical worlds of EverQuest and EverQuest II together with ground-breaking features! One of these features is a completely integrated loot card system. Randomly distributed in booster packs of Legends of Norrath are special "loot cards" that allow a player to gain new in-game items for EverQuest or EverQuest II. Players can choose whether they want EverQuest or EverQuest II loot to drop from packs, and can change this at any time in the Collection Manager or in Account Preferences.

Loot cards can be found in Legends of Norrath booster packs in approximately one in every eight or nine packs and have multiple rarities. Some items, like health and experience potions, can be easier to find, but extremely powerful or special items like mounts are much harder to get your hands on.

Additionally, some loot cards will be given as rewards to players that compete in certain tournaments. And of course, the first ever Legends of Norrath loot cards will be given away today to Fan Faire 2007 attendees -- Lamp of the Djinn and Noble Dojom's Lamp. Any loot card you receive can be redeemed right away, or can be traded for other loot cards, regular cards, packs and decks, or event passes within the Legends of Norrath client. There are 28 loot cards each for EverQuest and EverQuest II available to be discovered in Oathbound, the first set of Legends of Norrath.

To redeem a loot card, simply right-click on it in the Collection Manager. That will bring up the redemption window. From there, just follow the directions in the redemption window, and you'll have redeemed your loot card.

Any loot cards you redeem in the Legends of Norrath client will create a "redeemed" version of that loot card that you can view within your Collection Manager for reference. This redeemed card is just a placeholder in your collection to let you keep track of the Legends of Norrath cards you've redeemed.

The next and last step is to log into your EverQuest or EverQuest II account (or simply minimize Legends of Norrath, if you're already logged in!) and claim the loot item on the character of your choice (associated with the same Station account).

The EverQuest, EverQuest II and Legends of Norrath teams have come up with some exciting loot cards. We can't wait to see you running around in-game on your new mounts or wrecking other players disguised as an inconspicuous crate!
