On a somewhat related note - I wish to alter the ''tribe'' of my race using the rank 1 veteran reward as I am finding the cat eyes somewhat unnerving. Is this included in the character alteration veteran reward?

Here is a link to the page in question.

This is the part which I am not 100% sure on. The wording gives me cause for concern over which method to add time to my account. I can freely use either but I just wish to make sure I choose the method that will grant me the rewards on day 1.
