Ran across This on Massively. That's actually a pretty good idea! But, I foresee lots of whining about "easy mode" blah, blah, blah. Can you imagine if they had rental weapons in WoW? The amount of QQ would be astounding!  I can only imagine that the weapons are just above average in terms of power though. |

That would help with the grind a bit.

The idea is sound. I can be assured that I will be using these a bit, as I usually have terrible luck with drop rates.

... Can you imagine if they had rental weapons in WoW? The amount of QQ would be astounding! I can only imagine that the weapons are just above average in terms of power though. From what I've seen so far, "above average" is an apt way to describe it. Instead of bombarding you with stats I will describe the rental gear in Warhammer T4 terms... the gear is "Conqueror" and "Invader" level stuff. Better than your "Annihilator" which is your entry to endgame, but not on the level of "Warlord" or "Sovereign". Rental prices seem to be around 1/3 of what the comparable item goes for at the broker's... so instead of buying that weapon for 2 million there, rent something similar for 700K. |

I think the rental weapons are similar to the heirloom items that level up with you in WoW. They made leveling a lot easier and are equivalent to basically a blue item of your level. Really sped up the lower levels.

Cool. Too bad I can't rent me some gear in level 40 to catch up in renown rank in WAR. I might actually play that AM a little more. It was painful this weekend with ragelog potential.

The rental weapons you can buy with in game currency are limited to level 40 items. They can last you up to 14 days. There are also weapons and armor that you can get from the two new daily quest factions, which are also limited in power and scope. These are good for leveling up to 50, but then you should be looking for better gear from the endgame instances, which have had their drop rates increased significantly. I myself have two pieces of the Anuhart's Templar set, after running Dark Poeta about ten times.
