I do not know if this has ever been discussed as I cannot find any forum related to its discussion, but can you please make the Tricorne Hat ornament available either by quest or by marketplace? It was something that you could claim if you took part in beta for The Darkened Sea expansion. I really, really would like to have this head ornament more so than ever. Since it is something that has already been created and available to some users in the game, I see no reason why other players could not have the opportunity to own a piece of EQ history.
Good luck with that...iirc, the HAT in question received some backlash for being the Beta reward! hehehe I might be wrong, but I didn't want to dig around the forums for an old thread.
Yeah the backlash against hat ornaments for beta rewards was that not everyone buys hero’s forge unlocker. I thought this years reward was just “meh” The unique hats were really cool and something I looked forward to for the past few betas They could have gone big and done the rallos zek helm ornament this year for TOV (still a chance for TOV part 2) https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=123278
It would to cool to see these kind of hat ornaments in the future: Immortal's Mask Valkyrie Helmet/Winged Helm (EQ2) Crown
I would love either a scream mask or a hockey mask for Halloween if they had those type of masks I would actually use the hero's forge feature
I have only tested beta once long time ago and I do not think beta rewards should be avail to just anyone those rewards are for people who beta test ( have to lol at the last few though (hat, rock garden)) same with the Fanfare rewards those should be elite prizes/rewards for the peeps who actually do beta test or go to fanfare events .. jmho ..
Tbh fanfare rewards are heavily skewed towards americans, not everyone can afford such a trip. Unlike beta-rewards which just requires you to pay/test the expansion a little early and post some bug-reports.
In addition to making them available either on the loyalty vendors, the marketplace, the overseer vendor, Marcia, or some other method (which would be nice), I would really appreciate it if especially the one-time claim beta rewards were all flagged as heirloom. Some of the beta rewards are just collecting dust on characters I don't play (because they are no trade even on free trade servers, and not heirloom), and they were one-time claims . . . while some of the 999-time claims (like the tricorne hat that I never claimed) are heirloom .
I'd prefer if the one time claim items were retroactively turned into 999 claim items. I did Underfoot beta, and have the bellikos merc on my rogue (which is where it should be!) but I'd *like* to have it on my druid, too, which is on the same account. While I would like to see it on my bard, as well, I didn't beta with that account, and would rather keep the rarity of it and just have a different one on her.
