- Increased drop rates for Rose Colored and Apocryphal gear.
- A class specific, auto granted, AA at level 51 that is unavailable otherwise.
- The “First Orb of Retribution”, a no trade All/All aug that fits into any slot that scales every day you login to play.
- A 20 Slot, No Trade, bag that can be upgraded as players unlock expansions.
- Unique titles for players as they unlock new expansions.
- Special progression instances in which enemies do not respawn.
- Access to the rarest class of item in EQ history, Artifacts. Very rarely a looted, quested, or tradeskilled Apocryphal item may become an Artifact. This can occur only once per item, per Season. These items have improved stats vs the normal Apocryphal, bear the name of the person who looted, earned, or created it, and may be freely traded between players without Attunement. However, they cannot be dropped on the ground or sold to NPC vendors.
