Generally, Orc Veterans have pilfered better armor and weapons than their less experienced brethren, and they also paint special symbols on their faces and bodies to denote their status. **New Troops in Chests: Drake and Bone Daemon** [ ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/5/e/5e6af3dd3656f46c84954151b348cb7cb6ad439e.jpg) ](http://gemsofwar.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/blog_drake.png)[ ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/1/4/149553785de84a0cf5f31d9cbc78e6cc67674468.jpg) ](http://gemsofwar.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/blog_bonedaemon.png) These new troops (part of the Grosh-Nak Kingdom Rework see below) can now be found in chests.

Ah shucks I was hoping that Drake and Bone Daemon would be available in Glory Packs! Was really wanting to get Drake ascended a few levels for GW. ---

If I read that correctly: Orc Veteran - Glory Pack and Event Chests Drake - Glory Pack and added to all chests that normally contain Rare level cards (ie Gold, Glory, and low level guild?) Bone Daemon - Not a glory pack, in Event Chests but very rarely as it isn’t Grosh-nak, and added to all chests that normally contain Ultra Rare level cards (Glory, Gem, and appropriate guild?) That sound right @Sirrian ? ---

I understood only Orc Veteran will be in glory packs, but I hope I’m wrong. ---

Strange that the summoned troop is just stronger then the event’s troop. That veteran is weak, even for an ultra-rare. ---

Both Orc Veteran and Drake is event troops, so both should be able for glory. ---

So, there will be 2 Glory Pack Troops with Arcane Stones next week @Sirrian @Saltypatra ? Yellow / Brown and Red / Green? The wording for the troop being in Glory Packs and in regular chest is confusing quite a few of us. 😃 NowayJoe2Go ---

Minor wording question: Bone Demon and the guild guardians **create** their storms. Garuda **summons** one (edit: so do Owleth, Heronath, Prince Azquila, and Necrezza). Is there a reason for using a different verb? ---

By what i read there will be no mountain traitstones in glory pacz These new troops (part of the Grosh-Nak Kingdom Rework see below) can now be found in chests. ---

> [@DEMONorANGEL](#): > > By what i read there will be no mountain traitstones in glory pacz > > These new troops (part of the Grosh-Nak Kingdom Rework see below) can now be found in chests. And therein lies the confusion because it says > [@Sirrian](#): > > Drake: Gold & Glory Chests, and also as an event troop. So calling it an “event troop” says to me it is in glory packs, but we’ve never had a troop be both in glory AND instantly in chests. ---

I read that as such also. **Orc Veteran** - Glory pack **Drake** - Glory pack (plus Gold + Glory chests. Uncommon troop so _not_ in Event chests). **Bone Daemon** - Glory, Gem and Event chests ---

The veteran is indeed quite bad. It should at the very least get an Orc trait. [Next page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/the-odd-couple-pc-mobile/26355.md?page=2)
