STEP D | Patreon ingame rewards and benefits

Beside some rewards you get by using the commands above, there are many rewards and benefits ingame you can claim or use.

First, make sure to visit EGS HQ on the ECC planet. There, go to the Clone X7 NPC. She gives you, depending on your Patreon Tier, the proper reward package. Check the PDF above to see what you get.

Also, on many occasions there are benefits for Patrons that have impact on your or others gameplay.

For example will Patrons count as 2 players, if you deliver the Star Fragment to the Time Space Continuum Generator on ECC.

That is a very unique HWS only feature, to automatically fetch your Patreon Data and work with it in the ingame Dialogues. That way you get also Patron specific quests and more from NPCs.

STEP E | Maintain your Status

If a new month hit the day and you are still awesome and supporting us, please make sure to login to the game and verify that you are still linked in HWS Connect to get all of your benefits! Sometimes you have to relink your account (see Step A).

Note: your browser cache / cookie might still think you are linked. So please make sure to either clear your browser cache or press CTRL + SHIFT + N for a new private browser tab.

Thank you for supporting us!
We hope, you enjoy your stay on HWS.
