As part of our ongoing effort to ensure items in the DDO Store accurately reflect their value, some price adjustments will be made with the release of Update 14.2 (tentatively July 25th). Of special note, many non-epic adventure packs will receive a price reduction. In addition to this, prices for select races & classes have been standardized.

Price Changes:

Races & Classes Category: Prices have been standardized for consistency.

    Half-elf Race is decreasing from 1195 Turbine Points to 995 Turbine Points

    Warforged Race is increasing from 795 Turbine Points to 995 Turbine Points

    Favored Soul Class is increasing from 895 Turbine Points to 995 Turbine Points


Adventures Category: Prices have been adjusted to better reflect the value of select adventures.

    Ruins of Threnal Adventure Pack is decreasing from 550 Turbine Points to 450 Turbine Points (180-minute Guest Passes are decreasing from 85 Turbine Points to 70 Turbine Points)

    Restless Isles Adventure Pack is decreasing from 550 Turbine Points to 350 Turbine Points ( 180-minute Guest Passes are decreasing from 85 Turbine Points to 55 Turbine Points)

    Attack On Stormreach Adventure Pack is decreasing from 550 Turbine Points to 450 Turbine Points (180-minute Guest Passes are decreasing from 85 Turbine Points to 70 Turbine Points)

    Reavers Reach Adventure Pack is decreasing from 350 Turbine Points to 250 Turbine Points (180-minute Guest Passes are decreasing from 55 Turbine Points to 40 Turbine Points)

    Path of Inspiration Adventure Pack is decreasing from 450 Turbine Points to 350 Turbine Points (180-minute Guest Passes are decreasing from 70 Turbine Points to 55 Turbine Points)

    Dreaming Dark Adventure Pack is decreasing from 450 Turbine Points to 350 Turbine Points (180-minute Guest Passes are decreasing from 70 Turbine Points to 55 Turbine Points)

    Devils of Shavarath Adventure Pack is decreasing from 650 Turbine Points to 550 Turbine Points (180-minute Guest Passes are decreasing from 100 Turbine Points to 85 Turbine Points)

    Vaults Of The Artificer Challenge Pack is decreasing from 1495 Turbine Points to 1295 Turbine Points

    Demon Sands Adventure Pack is increasing from 850 Turbine Points to 950 Turbine Points (180-minute Guest Passes are increasing from 130 Turbine Points to 145 Turbine Points)

    30-minute & 90-minute Adventure Pack Guest Passes will no longer be available


Other:

    Character Slots are increasing from 595 Turbine Points to 625 Turbine Points

    Alignment Changes are increasing from 395 Turbine Points to 495 Turbine Points

    True Druidic Heart Of Wood are increasing from 1295 Turbine Points to 1495 Turbine Points


These prices will go into effect as of Update 14.2 (tentatively July 25th), and the older pricing will be available until that time. Thanks for shopping in the DDO Store!

The consistency bit is nice, I suppose, but how funny is it that Half-Elf has done nothing but improve in the metagame, while Warforged has all but gone belly-up in a majority of cases (with exceptions being...erm...exceptionally so)?

Cannith challenges at 1295 with nerfed xp, but more mats? Tough choice, considering that True Hearts are going up by 200 TP.

I wonder what is up with the Demon Sands price increase?

I know that a level 20 enters a CR21+ challenge, their XP scales up (which has now been cut in half).

Would a toon that is under 20 get less xp now if they started farming epic tokens (CR21+), compared to before the xp nerf?

Or will their xp pay out still be based on "heroic" xp formula?

Sub-20 toons have always used the heroic formula, even on CR21+ challenges. The recent adjustment to epic challenge xp should only apply to level 20+ players.

edit: but who knows if they screwed up the coding. I haven't tested the numbers since this latest change, so I can only really confirm that level 1-19 players never saw an xp increase for epic challenges after the expansion was released.

You'd be surprised. A friend of mind buys a fuckton because she's too lazy to learn how to grind out tokens.

The funny thing here is, cannith challenges never had the stupidly blown up xp totals.

Epic Buying Time was about 30k a run for a 6 star run at 24.

Now it doesn't even hit 14k.

This is for a 9 minute quest. I can get more xp faster in eh von6, or house of rusted blades.

Tldr, fucking turbine doesn't get why their changes are poorly received.

Shh before they nerf that!?!?!

But tbh we are reaching more and more to the point where xp will be capped by the amount of time a person is in a quest.

I did the first time. Then I came to the conclusion I was paying them because I hated what they did to endgame but still wanted to keep my stuff. Ground em out/just rerolled since. No point in rewarding em financially for stuff I despise, after all. Sends the wrong message.

They are a really bad deal.  20 tokens = buying time x ~25 = 2 hours saved.  One major pot = .2 * 6 hours = 1.2 hours saved.  Except a major pot is about 10x cheaper.

Some people prefer to use the tokens for slotting their epic items and just buy the tr heart.  I don't see the point in giving them money to torture myself through another life.

1295 is better, but still waiting for a sale. The challenge pack is the only thing I don't own, and I can't sit there and do run after run of the stuff anyway. If they'd take it down to 995 points I would go for it.

Sands looks expensive, too. How much is Gianthold?

I tend to buy mine when storage is on sale. Storage is always more expensive for me than the slot itself.
