Prince Harming.7692 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Does Path of Fire come with the Heart of Thorns dlc as well? or should i just buy the bundle? Asking because i wanted to get the ultimate edition, but i only see the Standard Collection as having both of them. Id really like to get the bonuses that come with ultimate. Thanks guys.

JDub.1530 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 PoF and HoT are separate. If you want both, you have to buy both. Discounted bundles are definitely the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Harming.7692 Posted July 31, 2018 Author Share Posted July 31, 2018 Thank you JDub, I appreciate the quick response, and your time. Now to begin downloading. :bleep_bloop: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDub.1530 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 You're welcome. Good luck with the download and enjoy. They are both excellent expansions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Path of Fire does not include Heart of Thorns, but you can buy both together at a discount. If you select the Ultimate edition of Path of Fire you'll be taken to a page where you have the option to add Heart of Thorns for a lower price than normal. For me it says the normal price for PoF or HoT is £25.99 and the bundle of both together is £42.99. If you select Path of Fire and then select to add HoT it says it costs £17 - so (if we assume the copy of HoT in the Ultimate edition costs the same as the standard and the extra money is just to pay for the extra items and gems) it's the same price either way. (25.99 + 17 = 42.99) The prices will vary depending on what currency the store shows you (and if you're in America then sales tax will be added on at the end), but I think the math should work out the same in all currencies.

Prince Harming.7692 Posted July 31, 2018 Author Share Posted July 31, 2018 Okay, so I am going to get the Ultimate Collection, which includes both DLC's. What exactly does this come with aside from the 4000 gems? And does anyone know a promo code by chance? :+1: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 To be clear the Ultimate Edition does not include HoT, but after selecting it and clicking 'Check Out' you'll be taken to a page where you have the option to add HoT to your purchase for a discounted price (which is the same as it would cost if you bought the bundle of both).  As for what the Ultimate Edition includes it's the DLC itself, 4000 gems and some extra items: * Character slot - self explanatory I think * Identity Repair Kit - this is a Total Makeover Kit which lets you change your characters appearance (everything, including their gender, body type, face and hair, and it includes some exclusive faces and hair styles) and a name change contract which lets you change their name to any available one. You can use them separately, even on different characters. * Sunspear Outfit - this is an outfit which looks like a GW1 armour skin * Lily of the Elon pass - double clicking this teleports your character to an exclusive 'mini town' in the Crystal Desert. If you've ever had a pass for the Captain's Airship, the Royal Terrace or anything like that it's the same idea. It's an area with a bank, TP, merchants, mystic forge and all the other stuff you'd normally find in cities all together. It also acts as a quick/cheap way to get to the desert maps.

Prince Harming.7692 Posted July 31, 2018 Author Share Posted July 31, 2018 Yes it took me to a page when i went to checkout, and said I could purchase the Ultimate Collection for $100. I went with that as it came with pretty much everything i think. You're the bomb thank you for helping me out, and being so descriptive. Kudos.

There is nothing extra to download. Think about it: if you had to download everything about them separately, what would happen to people who don't have the download when they met someone who had it and had some visible piece of gear (mount, glider, etc.) that came from the expansion? What if I share the computer (but not the log-in account) with someone who does when I don't? And so on. No. All you buy when you buy an MMORPG expansion like HoT or PoF is the permission to use the features of the expansion on your account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Harming.7692 Posted August 2, 2018 Author Share Posted August 2, 2018 Oh I know, Steve. I hadn't actually had the game downloaded yet, and I just decided to get it all and then download the game afterwards. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 It also doesn't come with the other DLC's either (Living World Seasons which are between Expansions) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an in game recap which recaps virtually nothing) Season 2 sets up HoT HoT Season 3 which follows the aftermath of HoT and leads into PoF, dealing with some older stories on the way PoF Season 4 (ongoing) Season 4 will unlock from ep 3 onwards if you log in just once during each initial 3 month window for an episode. ie episode 3 which is current, is free forever for you. Ep1 and 2 requires purchasing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overlord RainyDay.2084 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 What a lot of people will do is spend some of their ultimate edition gems buying the LS episodes they want. It's up to you if that's the route you want to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ep1 and 2 requires purchasing Thank you for this list! I'm nearing the end of the core Personal Story and was wondering what order to do the story next. Does the Personal Story ever go on sale? I got a few gem cards this week to go toward unlocking them, and I was wondering if for example the Anniversary Sales ever have sales on the PS episodes.

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 They are referred to as Living World Seasons, or Living Story Seasons, and the Living World Season bundles, very occasionally, are offered at a discount. Individual Living World Season Episodes do not go on sale, and are only offered at 200 Gems each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaliwenda.3428 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Seasons! That's the word I was looking for (couldn't remember when I was typing my question). Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! > The way I remember it is they're like TV shows. Each one is an episode and a set with a self-contained story arc is a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
