Veteran Reward Powers
Overview
Veteran Reward Powers are permanent powers that a player may claim once his or her account has been active for a certain length of time. All Veteran Reward powers are available separately for each character on that player's account, including new characters. Some of these powers are mutually exclusive. After selection, these powers cannot be re-selected, so choices should be carefully considered.
Attacks from the Veteran Rewards Program are affected by recharge and accuracy/tohit buffs, but no other buffs. However, their damage can be increased if the target is suffering from resistance debuffs.

These powers may be claimed after being active for 12 months. All four of these powers are awarded as a single package.

Melee Attacks
These powers may be claimed after being active for 12 months. Only one of these may be claimed per character.
Ghost Slaying Axe
This massive weapon was specifically crafted by MAGI to slay the undead. Note that Mastermind Henchmen are protected from this effect. Damage enhancing powers do not apply to the Ghost Slaying Axe.
| Damage | Melee, Moderate Damage (Lethal) |
| Recharge | Moderate |
| Effects | Bonus Damage vs True Undead |
This power is slightly different from the Temporary Undead Slaying Axe. Although both weapons cause the same amounts of normal and bonus damage, the Veteran weapon's bonus damage is Energy damage, whereas the Undead Slaying Axe's bonus damage is a special type that is unaffected by resistances. These two powers do different amounts of bonus damage to Undead targets that have a resistance or a vulnerability to Energy damage. Also, the Temporary version's normal damage is buffable.
- 130% bonus damage vs. Circle of Thorn spirits
- 100% bonus damage vs. Banished Pantheon zombies
- 100% bonus damage vs. Tsoo Ancestor Spirits
- 80% bonus damage vs. Unseelies

You have a Base Transport beacon. It will allow you to return to your base from any location. It is usable once every 30 minutes.
