Hi, all! I just received my 4th anniversary bag with the mail carrier and backpacks on my main. The bad news is I want to give the backpack to one of my alts, but I don’t know which one. I’ve narrowed it down to either to either the Hoelbrak Mountain Pack for my Norn Warrior, or the Black Citadel Engine for My Charr Scrapper and IIRC, I have to wait til next year to get another backpack (I hope) so I need help deciding which backpack looks better on who.

Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I guess I’d go with the Charr one. The Norn one looks so similar to many other backpacks. (I’m not really fond of either, tbh.)

I like the charr version much better than the norn. (I also think it goes better with your charr than the norn one does with your norn.)

Give it to your Charr! I think that matches better!

I agree with the others – go for the charr one.

There are other choices for a massive pack for your norn (check out the huntsman crafted backpacks) but not many options for a charr engine.

If you’re able to bank it and wait to decide, you may wish to. A lot of us will be getting our 5th birthday presents around August 25. Once those start showing up, we’ll know if we get another backpack choice. At that point you can use the information to decide — if you’ll get another in a year, then it’s just a question of which you are willing to wait for. If you don’t then you want to make sure you pick the one you’ll use the most.

Right, it’s only about 6 weeks until we see 5th year presents. I agree with Donari that if you’ve narrowed it to two, wait — you might not have to choose.

Oh, Headcase will still have to choose, if s/he is only now reaching the 4th birthday for the first time — unless I’ve misremembered and it’s a game anniversary gift rather than an account anniversary? Gah — is it account based or does it require having a character that has existed that long?

Anyway, I think odds are Headcase still only gets one choice, it’s just that there will be more information as to the importance of the choice once the 5th birthday folks get theirs.

The backpack is part of the reward for the Achievement, “Birthday – Year 4”. To complete this Achievement, one must open a 4th Birthday Gift.

Thus, if there will be more backpacks to acquire, I would guess one must complete the next Achievement, “Birthday – Year 5” for the next one.

Thus, more information soon, but a long wait, possibly, for the item.
