khorren.3702 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 The SotO supply drop includes an emote tome next week, Read Book, which I know many people are interested in, but could anyone clarify if this will also be a stand-alone item next week? Since the price of the supply drop goes up each week, I really don't want to have to wait til next week to find out. Support were unable to help as they have no information about gemstore stuff, so I'm hoping some eagle-eyed person has seen a dev comment, or a dev sees this. 🙂 Thanks for your time! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katary.7096 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 They use FOMO as a tool to generate more sales of the supply drops, I don't think any dev or anet official is going to answer your question. 8 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've met so many players in-game who are, just like you and me, only interested in the /readbook emote alone, not the supply of disappointment! I would find it weird if they did not add the emote standalone in gemstore... but you never know with ANet really. The /hiss emote was only included in the vampire package. The /sipcoffee is only available buying US coffee. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyMari.7920 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I also want the readbook emote along with the mount skins (because I apparently collect mount skins). But I am afraid to buy the supply drop. Last time I did, I did it for the mount skin not realizing it would come out later in a pack, which I, of course, purchased. When I asked for a refund for the one mount skin I already had, customer support initially balked but eventually refunded some gems to me for the value of that one skin. Which was all I was asking for. BUT they also said this was a one time thing and in the future just be more aware of what I am purchasing. So... why should I buy the supply drop when I am going to be buying it later anyway?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phandaria.4891 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Historically, mount select licenses appear in the gemstore after its debut in supply drop. I assume both raptor pack and /readbook emote will be available later. Supply drop requisition is just a means to get it earlier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thelgar.7214 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 It will be exclusive to the drop for a year or two, then be available as a code you get when you buy a guacamole latte at a chain that has five locations across three states that sells for $50 on ebay. Then three years later it'll be free with a Prime subscription. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, are we thinking the /readbook emote will come as a standalone emote tome in the gemstore aswell? I am thinking what to do tbh... the only thing I want from the supply thingy is the emote and not the rest of it... and now that the price is increasing aswell, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iffi.6132 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 I too would really like just the /readbook emote tome O-o Please, as a Wizard's Vault reward, perhaps? Or as a standalone purchase? The supply drop's a fine value for newer accounts, maybe... but for me it's not worth nearly thirty dollars in gems just for this emote... I'm such an irl book nerd and I'd love to have this - imagine if it interacted with the Binding of Ipos... I really want it ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony.8659 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 They also need to add the /sipcoffee emote in the gem store and not tied only to Madrinas Coffee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
