Just read that a rare is rewarded for completing the grand tour quest. As I've not been able to launch the game yet (still downloading), how do you begin this quest?
Please talk to the tour guide in the village of Braemar. When you log in you will start in a training area, then once you go through the lunar rift you will be in Braemar.
In this release, some of the tour guides are in dangerous areas. If you need help, contact myself (Erik O'Connor) or DavenRock in game and we'll help you get it.
I'd be happy to help as well. There is a PVP area on the list. Simply log in on single player mode if you don't feel like racing through the blood hungry player killers. You have at least 2 weeks before the Grand Tour quest changes so don't rush. Get acquainted with the game first. This releases rare is the worst one yet imo but it is worth collecting because at some point it will be considered rare.
I've only managed 3 Towns thus far. Still need Moors Of North shore, grunvald shard fall, wyrmsands...
Haha, fair enough, And I plan to sell it to someone like her a year after launch and make a pretty penny lol. I can only see so many hats, I am ready for a quest reward that can be used as decoration in the home....how about a hat rack next?
Wyrmsands is to the far south, pass Braemar all the way and then head west to the desert, can't miss it if you go this way. Grunvald Shard Fall can be reached from the portal in Owl's head (I recommend single player to avoid getting PKd) Moors of North Shore is directly East of Owl's head, you have to around a bit to get to it but there are rocks at one spot on the river, cross those rocks and you will be there (great place for mining Silver, I got 9 from there yesterday )
I'd love to see other rewards like decorations, pets, necklaces, tunics, cloaks, etc. But it looks like we're getting a hat every time.
