The overhaul has been a long time coming as the trade bar store has been neglected almost since the launch of Neverwinter. Trade bars are a currency found in lockboxes, meant to provide you with access to additional rewards, above and beyond what you might have already received. They can also serve as a second chance at a rare artifact or a key to exciting and unique rewards and Neverwinter Astral Diamonds.
Neverwinter Astral Diamonds in Lockboxes with Mounts
With this update, they’re making some big changes and improvements to that store. Here’s a brief overview of the changes coming:
- Epic mounts from prior lockboxes will be added to the store. Moving forward, we’ll continue to add newer mounts to the trade bar store with every lockbox release.
- Uncommon versions of all companions and artifacts from prior lockboxes will be added to the trade bar store. When upgraded they’ll be exactly the same strength and quality as those found in lockboxes.
- All fashion and dyes will be moved to the trade bar store.
- Lesser health stones and scrolls of mass life will be moved to the trade bar store.
- Prices are being reduced across the board on existing items. Coalescent wards for instance will now be sold for 75 trade bars, down from 200.
- The trade bar store may now be accessed from anywhere via the riches tab of your inventory.
- Trade bars may now be transferred between your characters freely via the account wide bank.
More Changes in the Zen Market for Hunters of Neverwinter Astral Diamonds
These changes are big, and we think they’re going to be a welcome improvement for everyone. I want to touch briefly on those items that will be moving from the Zen Market: fashion, dyes, lesser health stones and scrolls of mass life. Starting with the launch of Module 8 there will be a transition period where those items will be available in both the Trade Bar Store and the Zen Market. A month after launch, those items will only be available in their new home, the trade bar store.
