Turn in to an Ogre! Get a Turtle Mount! - Tuesday, October 03, 2006
Upper Deck just released the in-game loot rewards for the card game. There are two types of in-game rewards that you can get. The first type, loot cards, are Legendary cards that contain a scratch-off code. The legendary cards are very rare; there might be only one Legendary in several hundred booster packs. The second type of in-game loot comes from collecting Upper Deck points. Each Warcraft Upper Deck product that you buy will give you a few points. If you collect enough points, you can trade them in for an in-game reward.
Legendary card rewards:
- In-game Tabard - a special red tabard will be available from the Landro Longshot card. (You can buy the card here.)
- Hippogryph Pet - a unique pet will be available from the Thunderhead Hippogryph card. (You can buy the card here.)
- Turtle Mount - a unique mount will be available from the Saltwater Snapjaw card. This mount will only move at a normal running speed and will be usable by characters of all levels. I'm a bit disappointed that it won't make you move faster in the water -- or anywhere for that matter. (You can buy the card here.)
- In-game Tabard - a unique tabard.
- Fireworks Trinket - a reusable trinket that creates a unique fireworks display.
- Ogre Suit Trinket - a reusable trinket that will make your character look like an Ogre! I think this will be one of the most sought-after in-game rewards. It's points based, so every dedicated player will probably have a good shot at obtaining it.
