It seems to come down to how much that XP Boost token is worth to you (as far as I can tell, it isn't available in the store) and for me it's very little. I'm there more to do the quests than to get to max level so I don't see that it'll help me as long as the quests are interesting (I guess that could make a big difference). Right now, with the Mithril edition's on sale lower price and the Steam Starter pack not on sale, it would be very difficult to justify getting it from Steam though I do love it using Steam and downloaded the free version for my daughter from there. The Mithril edition also has the advantage of quests for levels 50-60 not included in the Starter Pack. I guess they are set up so for someone who really likes questing, they could probably justify getting both and having an extra horse since there aren't any overlapping quest packs.
Did I miss something?
I purchased both, as the Added TP/$ ratio is a good deal no matter how you look at it. At 1 cent per point, even if you own everything other quest pack, its still worth it. The horse is just gravy. :) Well, this is only for Mithril and sale prices, anyway. At $30, I don't really think the Steam set is worth it.
ReplyDeleteThe 25% XP Boost token is something that was available with the preorder of Rise of Isenguard, and is now available with the preorder of Riders of Rohan. I don't know how that would translate as far as points go (maybe 500? It's nice, but not so nice as to be a must-have item).
Sadly, you can't use this as a way to get cheaper TP, either, as you can only purchase each set only once.

ReplyDeleteThanks for confirming that the Mithril edition is a pretty good deal if you can use the points and even better deal for the quests. However it isn't a good deal if you won't be playing the game, so that's what I need to either guess or wait on!
