In the September update, the following was mentioned:

“Special new rare/exotic items are being added for leveling, and are more powerful than the items normally available for their level. These account-bound items are exclusively under level 80, will allow you to choose between 2 stat combinations, and will be available via crafting or found as loot.” (Wiki)

Any clues as to what these things are? I assume they’re not referring to the backpacks. I can’t see anything on the wiki about the above. There’s a strong chance I’m being a kitten and just can’t see them.

Ive seen some for level 68 (i think) at the 425 level of crafting. They require several ectos to make though. im sure there are more, but these are the ones ive seen.

The backpacks are one part of them.

Thank you! They give me something else to throw crafting materials at if nothing else.

Make sure to double check the required mats. If you wont use them to level several alts, their crafting costs are quite high and they arent tradeable on the tp.

Careful building some of those. They require a lot more then just a few ectos! I was not paying attention to the ecto cost while leveling my leatherworker. Currently looking to re-supply.

There is a green you get as a level up or story reward around lvl 10. I can’t remember exactly. I remember looking at it and thinking it was kind of a crappy green because it didn’t have any stats on it. Then I equipped it and it prompted me to select the stat combo. I imagine they’ve spread those throughout the leveling process.

Sterling is right. There are a few items (mostly footwear) you can get from the PS rewards that allow you to select your stats and are account-bound. The stats are also greater than what you normally see for an item of that level.

You can also find armor and weapons of this sort out in the wild. They sport basic or (T1-2) cultural skins, have higher stats than usual, and are accountbound.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I guess if they had unique skins it would be worth the cost, but I think I’ll give them a pass.
