I just am hoping that there are pawn house items! I will be almost to a full chess set and can build a board for them !
There are. Not that I personally have any mind; all I can get is knights . But yes it is possible to assemble a complete set....
I am glad to hear we can make sets ! The tiles can be bought during the monthly city quests and the white ones can also be bought during Frostfell if you prefer the snowy looking ones.
White tiles can be obtained during the Qeynos City Festival, which, AFAIK, will be in April. Black tiles can be obtained during the Freeport City Festival, which, AFAIK, will be in May.
I haven't counted total pieces, but considering you need 8 pawns and 1 or 2 of the rest, the drop rate seems off. I never really brought it up, because I'm not sure I WANT them to tinker with it. For what its worth, in addition to mutliple boards (probably 5 or so) worth of bisops, kniights, and rooks; I have received 9 white pawns and 6 black pawns. So I'm close to 1 full board but not there yet.
Nice! It really never occured to me to sell them oddly enough. I figured the market would jsut be saturated so I never looked. I may need to try that on my server. Thanks for the tip!
