The last few ranks, the 68 body pieces, and northlands (S) should all be coming in the same patch (http://www.onrpg.com/boards/113311.html#post1442430). Seeing as we haven't gotten any new ranks since June, either we're getting these in April, or it will officially have been over a year between the implementation of Wings and Medals in Campaign and SE will have failed miserably. Not ruling out the latter, but realistically, it should be the former.
And I think they said at least one avatar would be in this update, but that one I'm much less sure about. And that's something I definitely don't trust them to keep their word on, even if they did say it. In fact, it's probably best to just forget about it.
As for the bells, the only logical thing I can think of is "Holy crap guys, we're finally letting you store these after having them eat your inventory for four months." I'm more concerned about where those Tarus are, not what they're holding. That seems like the thing that holds the most significance to me.
Lastly, TOTALLY want that hammer. I will swing it with extreme prejudice.
