What do you think of the new ghulture packs? Are they any good?How do they compare to the other horde packs?How are the stats on the gears? if you like the ghulture packs let us know and why. if you dont let us know by the comment below.
It's nice that there are different furniture items in the pack that you can't get elsewhere. There is still the problem of very common items that you can get anywhere that still appear in packs. The mounts are very rare to get, but they are related to each of the schools (and boost damage). Again, Balance gets messed with since all schools get +3% and Balance (getting a universal damage) gets only 2%.
The gear, when put all together isn't as bad as many packs I've seen. If someone were to use the outfit (maybe minus the wand) it would be passable in Mirage (for example). The robe is nice, except there isn't any damage. The boots are worth it, and my L120 Ice switched to those.
I'm assuming there are 2 Wurm pets in the pack? So far, I've only seen the Balance one.
Overall, one of the better packs, but still seriously lacking in gear and stats

Such a nice description.
Surprised that balance's vulture mount only gets a +2% damage boost though.
Got ONE vulture mount and it was permanent. Rareness level: Epic.
The rest is mostly cards of some type (gardening or snacks) and a lot of furniture. A lot of NPCs that can stand on your land. Some light fixtures. I like the furniture.

Why not 3% like the others?
The Balance mount is universal, so it can be used by any school. Once again, Balance gets the short end of the stick when it comes to any boosts.
Take Balance blades for example. Each Balance-specific blade is universal and can be used by any school, therefore, the damage output is much lower than school specific ones.
Balance is supposed to be 'balanced'. But, I find Balance is the most non-balanced school in the Spiral.
If it makes anyone feel better - BOTH times that I won a mount I got it on the FIRST try - so it's possible to buy one pack and win something really good (Epic rarity is the most rare.) But then some people like me keep trying after it :)
Some of you will laugh because I don't know what some of these symbols are called or what they mean. Bear with me because you can figure it out and I made this list in hopes of being helpful to everyone.
Sparkler is probably a wand symbol - it looks like a stick with a sparkle on the end.
Sun is the symbol that looks like a sparkly orb or a sun.
Hit is the fist symbol. Red means - mana? I dunno what red energy is called.
You can probably figure out the rest.
I don't always say the school but the symbol. Leaf instead of Life, Skull instead of Death, etc. ____________
Patterned (floor) Cushion, Yellow (floor) Cushion, Vase with Vines (green), Dusty settee, Dusty Red Couch, Lined Cabinet, Dusty Rug (large green rectangular area rug), Wicker Side Table (small), Hanging Lamps (blue and green one), Red Basket (stands on floor), Star Table (round with star design in top), Mosaic Table, Mosaic Chair, Wicker Chair, Copper Urn (stands on floor), Dromel Sarcophagus (huge stone coffin lies down on floor), Ice Pallet (table with blocks of ice), Crossed Swords (hangs on wall), Swords and Shield (hangs on wall), Oil Painting, Tree Painting, (both paintings are large), Astral Book. (I think there is a wicker table also.)
Outdoors
Wispy Tree (green cypress sort of, in planter), Covered Wagon (like a camp caravan but old fashioned) red and green, Parrot on a Barrel, Dromel Head Column, Sewer Grate, Cactus Pods, Glowing Mushrooms, Dromel Tent.
Hope this helps!!! Enjoy the pack I thought everything was good!

You are so right! Balance really is quite unbalanced. I often find myself wondering just what the creators of the game are thinking when it comes to that school. I like Balance, but it seriously needs upgrades.
Two more: Ice Hoist (Super tall post with a block of ice dangling from a platform at top of it), and Hanging Lantern (rough arm of wood with a globe with candle inside - seems meant for a stone or outdoor wall.) Both in Furniture.
A correction: The Sandman pet did not have a card to hit all enemies but the Ice Colossus which hits one enemy.
Both mounts I won are permanent. I forgot to say that on both. (The mount looks like a large vulture with a saddle; but it's nice because the width is more narrow which means you can use it on sidewalks.)
The Ghulture pack also possibly contains the usual assortment of cards and gems most packs do.
