Players can also opt to buy character packs featuring numerous in-game items. The Knight of the Feywild pack includes the Dawn Unicorn mount, the Sylph companion, the Moonsilver Regalia fashion set, and a few other items for $60. The Feywild starter pack features a portal hound companion, a Feywild hunter's ring, a fine elven silk bag, and an adventurer's helper pack for $20.
