What’s Inside the Guild Wars Nightfall Prerelease Bonus Pack?

We earlier reported about the imminent release of Guild Wars Nightfall on October 27. If you can't wait that long, well there is an option for you. The pre-release bonus pack will be available starting September 15 which is a few winks from now. We all know that the full version of the game isn't in it, so just what is inside that bonus pack and would it make up for the absence of the real thing set to hit in October?

The Guild Wars Nightfall Prerelease Bonus Pack has been blessed with a new retail package which includes the following:

• Guild Wars "Play Now" key for a 10-hour/14-day trial* of Guild Wars Prophecies and Guild Wars Factions.
• Guild Wars Nightfall Bonus Key, providing one additional character slot for a Guild Wars Nightfall account.
• Two exclusive items for the new professions—a Fiery Sunspear of Shelter for the Paragon and an Icy Soulbreaker of Enchanting for the Dervish.
• Mini strategy guide, concept art, screenshots, in-game renders of characters and items, preview trailer, wallpapers, lore, quick reference card, music, and more!

The Fiery Sunspear of Shelter is the weapon of the Order of the Sunspears and consists of a tempered steel head and a long Mebahya-wood shaft, gripped at the midpoint. It packs a 14- 27 fire damage (9 Spear Mastery required), +5 Energy, and +7 Armors vs. Physical Damage. The Icy Soulbreaker of Enchanting, on the other hand, is lightweight but powerful. It is capable of 9-41 cold damage (9 Scythe Mastery required)m +15% damage while enchanted, and 20% longer enchantments.

Would it make up for the still month-long absence of the real thing? That's your call.
