    I'm a little confused about the hat.

    Is it a different hat every release, or is it a single hat that can only be obtained by completing a quest in every release?

    Also, when you say that a quest must be completed, is there a specific "hat quest" or is it just any old quest that must be completed to qualify?

    As noted in the post the specific quest each release is the Explorers Guild Quest which consists of talking to the Tour Guides. Each release the reward will be a different quest.


    • Explorers Guild Quest: Starting with R10, we have a new type of quest, called the Grand Tour. You can talk to any Tour Guide (one is near where new players appear, in Braemar) to begin the quest. Visiting all the Tour Guides (who are stationed near the new content introduced with that release) will earn a reward for your account (for R10, a Cavalier's Hat). This reward can only be unlocked during that release (did someone say rares?), so be sure to complete the Grand Tour before the release is over!

    It took me a long time to do it, what with all the technical problems, but I finally got my hat! It doesn't show up on my account page though. If this is by design, you may want to inform people that they should not expect to see it show up on their account page. :)

    I had to goto all the places outside of Ardoris first, then I got lucky and didn't crash while in Ardoris. Now finally I have crashed and will not delete my character until I'm certain that I will get credit for my hat. :)

    I'll go through the grand tour a second time to get a hat for you, and if the tour guide doesn't give it to me, I'll run him through with my blade.

    Ah thanks.. I'd really owe you one. That's a perfect Bowen hat! I might just have to risk going over my bandwidth limit. Library on Friday to patch up.. copy the files over at home and hope it doesn't take too long.

    If all else fails...I can send an email to Portalarium. Though I am determined to get through it so any issues I have can be reported and hopefully repaired before everyone else gets access.
    It is a snappy looking hat :)

    If you really like this particular hat, I have more than one account. Perhaps we can work out something so I can give it to you after the official launch. ;)

    Seir, I have that problem. I'm thinking maybe cause I'm in solo player mode. Was gonna switch over to multi, BUT new patches are loading ... up to 154 now.

    OK, I patched to the latest and got into the Challenge area in multi player mode. Got credit for the quest. As soon as I got credit it booted me out LoL!

    The devs, I think it was Chris, said that the hat isn't connected to the page yet. So what you see is normal. They have plans to show all the earned rewards on the account page, it just hasn't been done yet.

    Yes, I kept having this problem last night :( I just couldn't leave Braemar (via lunar rift or walking out of town) without the game crashing :eek:

    It's going to be a long weekend if they don't fix these things...deleted my above character, re-entered the challenge dungeon and now keep losing connection. Not the best impression for the new folks especially since this was "polish" release :)

    Better now than at launch. To quote Bill Parcells, "This is why you lift all them weights! This is why you do all that!" So we're ready on Game Day. ;)

    I've deleted 4 characters and now my game crashes every time. But I have my hat! Is there anything else that matters besides "my hat"? No, release 10 is a success! lol

    UPDATE: I tried it out this morning with the new builds and was able to login without the client crashing.
