First look at the Summer Festival

The Summer Festival started today, and me and a friend were already camping the pub in Thorin's Hall, counting down minutes and eagerly looking forward to the new festival items. Here are some of the things I managed to grind today:

The new dress is fabulous and dyes really well!

Wicker chair and summer tunic.

Summer horsepony, looks like a toy :D.

I noticed that all the new cosmetics are Bind on Acquire (can't be traded to others), meaning I would have to grind individually all those costumes I want for each of my nine characters. However, the recent free-to-play announcement also heralded a new Wardrobe system that will be used to store cosmetic items, and cosmetic items only. I made a thread on the EU forums about it, asking if the Wardrobe will allow Bound items to be shared across the account - if it does, I could just grind each costume once and then wait for the update and share them to my other toons. Anyone have any info on this?

  1. Looking good! Sadly I'm letting my female account lapse (lifetime on the all-male one) so dresses are a thing of the past (cross-dressing not fitting into my RP).

    As for the Wardrobe what I've heard is that no BoA or BoE items can be put in there, only the Cosmetics and non-binding armour (usually lower level stuff)

  2. I've also heard it said that no BoA items can be put there, but I haven't actually seen the source of that rumour anywhere at all. Link please if you spot it somewhere :).
