TOPIC: Can You Use Old Wish Rings After 12/1/2018?

Can You Use Old Wish Rings After 12/1/2018? 6 years 11 months ago #1

AFAIK, historically the Wish Ring wasn't a "Trade" or "Reserve" token. It seems like only with the recent changes for this year has it been re-classified as a "Trade" token. Can someone please confirm this?

According to the TokenDB:

tokendb.com/token/wish-ring/

In 2017, all Trade and Reserve tokens were redesigned with new high-rez artwork and chocolate-brown backs. Owners of the old, gold-backed versions can use their existing stock in transmuted recipes before December 1st, 2018. One-to-one exchanges can be done starting in September 2017. After December 1st, 2018, the old versions will no longer be exchangeable and may not be used in transmuted recipes.


So after 12/1/2018 it seems like we can no longer use the old Wish Ring for transmutes (particularly Legendaries).

However, will old Wish Rings still be usable for a Wish?

My understanding is that after 12/1/2018 the old Wish Rings can no longer be used for transmutes. I would also think that after 12/1/2018 they will no longer be usable for a Wish.

Well, the text specifically says they can't be used for transmuting.

It does NOT have a limitation on their use for a Wish. If so, that should be very clearly indicated.

For example, if you can still use it for a Wish, I might keep an old version Wish Ring. If you can't use it for Wishes or transmuting, then that's too expensive of a token to keep as a useless souvenir!

Could be an oversight. I don't know everything, but in the last 8 years the number of Wish Rings I've seen and/or heard of being used for something other than a transmute was approximately none, plus or minus zero.

I've known a few people who said they were willing to use one for a wish, but who knows if they would have actually done so if it came down to it.

I know a few have been used in the epic grinds.

Eversuade used one in the year we had the supercharged treasure box to get the extra token pulls from it.

"a few"? I know there have been plans to use them several times, but only knew about the one Chip used to seal the gates. I must have missed the other ones. Now I want to hear the stories of those.

Just one.

At the 2016 WYC Epic Grind, a Wish Ring was equipped by the party but wasn't used. However, this was the first time that UR Specials were used in True Grind and multiple ones were turned in (to get extra actions for the fight).

At the 2016 GenCon Epic Grind, a Wish Ring was used by the late Chip Bowles and his sacrifice (of both the Wish Ring, his character's life, and the lives of two of his hapless companions) was crucial to sealing off the Elder Gods.

At this year's TDC True Horde, a Wish Ring was equipped by a player but wasn't used. Similarly, a UR Special was ready to be used. (Technically, the UR Special was turned in, but the player was only going to use the second character card right at the end of the event so I suggested that he not and I instead returned the UR Special).

As Mike noted, Dial/Eversuede did use a Wish Ring to get extra Wertz treasure draws (which was probably worthwhile given the sheer amount of loot that year).

Otherwise, most of the Wish Rings probably go towards making Transmutes. Also don't forget that most (if not all) of the Artifacts also required Wish Rings, back in the day.

Well I don't know if this statement will make you more or less angry... ;)

Besides the game that treasure box (or specifically the items) hooked me. If it wasn't for it I may have been just a casual player living a quiet life in the RPG world.

It seems it hooked some players and drove off others. I unfortunately didn't know about it as I wasn't on the forums nor did I collect tokens at that time. Whatever I drew in 2013 I sold to Gaming Etc and in hindsight I think that was the most cash I ever received from the tokens ($40 I think), so I perhaps had something good in there that I didn't get much cash for :(

There was a guy on Reddit that trash talked True Dungeon at every opportunity. I found out that it was because he worked hard to craft a Ring of Improved Evasion only to have its value plummet after the Wertz treasure box. At least that was his perspective.
