A couple of weeks ago, around the end of August, I completed the “Join the Iron Legion in Tearing Down the Ascalonian Wall” Renown Heart at Bloodfin Lake in Iron Marches. When I completed it, a Pact Victory Token appeared in my inventory as if I had looted it. This was on a character that completed the personal story almost a year ago, back in September or October ’12, when they added the tokens.
Just now, on a different character, I completed the “Help the Iron Legion disrupt Renegade operations” Renown Heart at Thunderbreak Hills in Fields of Ruin. When I completed it, a Hero’s Band appeared in my inventory as if I had looted it. Yes, the pre-order bonus ring. On a character that is, again, more than a year old.
I realise that my screenshots do not “prove” that completing the renown hearts is how I obtained these items, but it is what happened. I’m just quite confused as to how these things could occur, so I thought I would make this thread to see if anybody could shed some light on the matter.
