As a reward for pre-ordering Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures some retailers offer exclusive in-game items. Note that not all retailers offer pre-order items, so be sure to familiarize yourself with what the different retailers reward you with for pre-ordering. Note that you may not be able to use your pre-order reward item during the Early Access period.
Claiming your in-game pre-order item is easy. When you pre-order the game you will be provided with a pre-order key. By using this key when you create an account, all characters created on that account will have access to the item from that point onwards. The items themselves are claimed inside the game, and you will receive more information on how to do that at a later time.
Here is a list of the pre-order rewards that is available:
The War Mammoth
The War Mammoth is a massive, but slow mount that does tremendous damage in player-versus-player battles. These gargantuan beasts, mounted by skilled riders, stride across the blood-soaked fields as mighty battleships set to conquer some unknown harbor. A vital instrument in any siege attack, a War Mammoth may very well determine the outcome of a battle. Employing these beasts in your attack means that you can break down walls and damage buildings even without siege weapons.
Those receiving the War Mammoth will also get an inventory bag from the beginning of the game, as the mount itself can not be used until you reach the required level for using mounts in the game.
The Killer Rhino
The Killer Rhino is a less powerful but quicker mount, speed packed into a body intended to maim and slaughter. On their backs, skilled riders fight for control, carefully employing them in battle where the death of many is required in as short time as possible. In siege battles the Killer Rhino is a potent yet dangerous instrument of death thanks to its ability to brutally plow through large masses of enemies in a quick, brutal and lethal frenzy.
Those receiving the Killer Rhino will also get an inventory bag from the beginning of the game, as the mount itself can not be used until you reach the required level for using mounts in the game.
Amazon Curved Bow
From the fabled dark jungles of Amazonia the female warriors of Gamburu are well known for their combat prowess with bronze bladed shortswords and curved bows alike. At the cost of many brave lives, Hyrkanian raiders brought home a handful of the unique Amazonian bows, now mostly found in the black markets of Aquilonia. This weapon can be used from level 25 onwards by characters with proficient bow-skill.'
Other items
Depending on which retailer you choose there are also other rewards being made available. This includes booklets such as the Hyborian Guide which is a full-color guide to key locations, monsters and the cultures of Conan's world. Another booklet made available provides an introduction to the game's key features. You can get an overview on who is offering what pre-order item by visiting the various retailers through the official Age of Conan website.
