For every two unique body slots (fingers, neck, shins, etc.) you equip with a Sea Raider item, you gain +1 to your maximum Hit Points. Therefore:

  • Equipping a Sea Raider item in 2-3 unique slots adds a total of +1 to your max HP
  • Equipping a Sea Raider item in 4-5 unique slots adds a total of +2 to your max HP
  • Equipping a Sea Raider item in 6-7 unique slots adds a total of +3 to your max HP
  • Equipping a Sea Raider item in 8-9 unique slots adds a total of +4 to your max HP
  • Equipping a Sea Raider item in 10-11 unique slots adds a total of +5 to your max HP
  • Equipping a Sea Raider item in 12 unique slots adds a total of +6 to your max HP

For the mathematically-inclined, the formula is X ÷ 2 = H where X is the total number of body slots with a Sea Raider item equipped and H is the increase to your maximum Hit Points, rounded down.

How Many Slots Are There?

There is at least one Sea Raider item available* in each of the following slots:

  • Ear
  • Feet
  • Finger
  • Hands
  • Head
  • Shield (offhand)
  • Shins
  • Shirt
  • Torso (armor)
  • Waist
  • Weapon**
  • Wrists

*Not all classes can equip Sea Raider items in all 12 of these slots.
**Even though it's possible to equip more than one Sea Raider weapon, no matter how many different Sea Raider weapons you're using--Melee, Ranged, or both--those Sea Raider weapons only count once toward this Set bonus.

 

Sea Raider FAQ

Q: Does the Sea Raider set bonus stack with max HP increases from individual Sea Raider items?
A: Yes! For example, Sea Raider Bracers and Sea Raider Ring each give a +1 to max HP. If those are the only Sea Raider items you equip, you gain a total of +3 to max HP.

Timeline for 2025 Tokens

  • Noon CDT on Tuesday, October 1, 2024: 2025 token sales open
  • Friday, November 1, 2024: Pre-orders start to ship (not every pre-order will go out that day, but that's the day the shipping process begins)

  • Tuesday, January 7, 2025: The 2025 Transmuted tokens become available for construction--including Safehold II (Under Construction)
  • Saturday, April 12, 2025: The special Patron-only VTD adventure is held.


Tokens have been a very popular component of True Dungeon since they were introduced at Gen Con So Cal in 2003. Tokens were added so players could experience one of the most interesting and fun parts of adventuring--getting treasure! Our tokens are heavy, and combined with their "gold" color, they have the weight and appearance of a gold piece. Our tokens are VERY durable, water-resistant, and have a special clear laminate that protects the full-color image quite well. Nearly all tokens feature the current year embossed on the back to deter counterfeiting.

The tokens that come in a Standard Pack of ten are organized into Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Ultra Rare rarity groups. Some tokens (e.g., Transmuted) are never found in Standard Packs and are acquired via other routes. We'll talk more about non-Standard Pack tokens later. Each Standard Pack of ten Treasure Tokens contains:

  • Seven random Common tokens*
  • Two random Uncommon tokens
  • One random Rare token

*1 out of 100 Standard Packs of ten come with one Ultra Rare token in place of one of the Common tokens!

Every player receives a free Standard Pack of 10 random Treasure Tokens at the start of their adventure, but players can also purchase tokens online HERE or by clicking on the TD STORE graphic below. Some players become collectors and trade tokens throughout the year on the TD Forums.

 

Below are the images of all the tokens in the Standard Pack 2025 Token Collection. You can see higher resolution images of the tokens at the very bottom of this page in the Image Gallery. You can find out vital info on the 2025 Token Collection by reading our free "Quick Token Reference" which is now available for DOWNLOAD HERE or by visiting the Token Database.

 

(Seven out of the ten tokens in a pack are Common.)

 

(Two out of the ten tokens in a pack are Uncommon.)

 

(One out of the ten tokens in a pack is Rare.)

 

(1 out of 100 Packs have a random Ultra Rare put in place of a Common)  

High resolution images can be found in the Image Gallery at the bottom of this page. While viewing on a PC or tablet be sure to click on the "two diagonal arrows" icon to zoom into the image.

NOTE: With each $250+ token purchase, you can pick one of the above Standard Pack 2025 Ultra Rare tokens to be included in your order for FREE. You can also select from any Standard Pack 2024 Ultra Rare--which can also be viewed here. Multiple $250 token purchases qualify you for one Ultra Rare each, so if you place a $500 order, you get to pick TWO FREE Ultra Rare tokens. Multiple sub-$250 orders may not be combined to achieve the $250 free Ultra Rare premium. During checkout, you'll be prompted to pick which Ultra Rare token(s) you want.

 

 

2025 Transmuted Tokens
We created a fun system that you can use to craft limited-edition tokens with your unused or left-over tokens. Larger images of the Transmuted tokens can be found in the Image Gallery at the bottom of the page. These Transmuted tokens can be created on our website starting January 7th, 2025. To view all the 2025 Transmuted tokens and their recipes now, click this link. An overview of the Transmuted Program can be found HERE.

$8k Onyx & Wish Ring Value Pack Early Bird Special
If you place your $8k Onyx & Wish Ring Value Pack order before 11:59 pm CST on December 31, 2024, in addition to what's listed above, you also get:

CLICK HERE to Order Tokens!

 

The Golden Ticket
We'll randomly insert 120 special Golden Ticket tokens into the 2025 token collection. Instead of a Common token in a typical ten-pack of tokens, you could get one of these über-cool tokens. Details for the Golden Ticket events can be found at the URL printed on the token. Golden Ticket participants get a host of extra goodies which include a completely awesome pack of tokens and an exclusive GT-only surprise inside a True Dungeon adventure. If you pull a GT, go the dedicated GT Signup thread on the TD Forum and sign up for the convention where you want to redeem your GT. Don't delay! There are a limited number of slots for each convention--first come gets first pick.
New in 2025: While supplies last, every Onyx & Wish Ring Value Pack you purchase includes one Golden Ticket. In other words, each 8k pack is guaranteed to contain exactly one Golden Ticket--again, while supplies last. For non-8k purchases, for each Standard Pack you purchase, you have approximately 0.1% chance of getting a Golden Ticket. Keep in mind there are only 120 Golden Tickets available. As soon as that quota is reached, Golden Tickets will no longer be included in any size order. This will probably happen without notice. Please keep this in mind when placing your order, especially if you place your order late in the season.

NEW FOR 2025!  You will sign up for your Golden Ticket run at www.td.events. 

Click here for details about the 2025 Golden Ticket claim process..

REMEMBER: The more tokens you buy, the greater your chance of finding a Golden Ticket. Order early as there are a limited number available.
 

Multi-year Transmute from 2023-2026
2023's Greaves of Absorption (a 2023 Standard Pack Ultra Rare) was the first token in a four-year Transmutable recipe. Greaves of the Stalwart was the second and Greaves of Deflection (a 2025 Standard Pack Ultra Rare) is the third. The fourth (name TBA) will be released in 2026. When you have all four of these Ultra Rare greaves, you can transmute them into the Arcanum Greaves. The Arcanum Greaves' power has not been announced yet, but it'll be the second token in the impressive Arcanum set!

Condensed Packs ($1k each)
Some token collectors don't want to spend a lot of time opening hundreds of ten-packs of tokens. They asked if we could make an option that would approximate what 120 ten-packs would be AFTER the Common tokens were exchanged for Trade tokens. Condensed Packs save collectors the hassle of opening up all those ten-packs, sorting them, and then sending them off to be exchanged for Trade tokens. During the ordering process, you select what portion of your order you'd like to be Condensed.

Instead of getting the normal 120 Standard Packs of ten tokens, you receive the following for each Condensed Pack:

  • Ultra Rare tokens of your choice from either the Standard Pack 2025 or 2024 print runs--mix & match as you like.
  • Ring of the 2nd Circle--the 4th part in a 5-year story arc token! Transmuting all 5 Rings grants your character a special power and grants you access to Ring Con.
  • 1× random 2025 Standard Pack Ultra Rare token (There is a chance you might get a second random Ultra Rare token in your order.)
  • 120× Random Rare tokens (10% of these have platinum backs)
  • 240× Random Uncommon tokens (10% of these have platinum backs)
  • Alchemist's Ink
  • Alchemist's Parchment
  • Darkwood Plank
  • 10× Dwarven Steel
  • Enchanter's Munition
  • Minotaur Hide
  • Mystic Silk
  • Philosopher's Stone
  • 1,000 GP Gold Bar
  • Normal chance of a Golden Ticket*

*The chance to get a Golden Ticket is the exact same chance you would have with a non-Condensed token purchase--approximately 0.1% for each Standard Pack you buy.

$8k Super Condensed Packs
Some collectors live overseas and/or have a limited amount of time to convert Uncommon and Rare tokens to Trade Tokens. Some of these folks have requested we transmute ALL their Common, Uncommon, and Rare tokens into Trade Tokens. To meet this need, we offer the $8k Super Condensed Pack. During the ordering process, you select if you want your order to be Super Condensed.

Instead of getting the normal 960 Standard Packs of ten tokens, you receive the following for each $8k Super Condensed Pack:

  • either 16×, 32×, or 34× Standard Pack Ultra Rare tokens (depending on the Onyx Set option you selected) of your choice from either the 2025 or 2024 print runs--mix & match as you like
  • Ring of the 2nd Circle--the 4th part in a 5-year story arc token! Transmuting all 5 Rings grants your character a special power and grants you access to Ring Con.
  • 1× über-rare Path to Enlightenment (Fragment 3)
    • All four fragments transmute into the Mark of Enlightenment in 2026.
  • 1× über-rare Wish Ring
  • 1× über-rare Patron Lapel Pin

  • 48× Minotaur Hide
  • 115× Mystic Silk
  • 10× Oil of Enchantment
  • 110× Philosopher's Stone
  • 45,000 GP
  • Golden Ticket (while supplies last*)

*There are a limited number of Golden Tickets available. Once the last Golden Ticket has gone out, they will no longer be included in any size order. This will probably happen without notice. Please keep this in mind when placing your order, especially if you place your order late in the season.

Safehold Super Condensed Packs
Instead of getting the normal 960 Standard Packs of ten tokens in an $8k, you receive the following for each Safehold Super Condensed Pack:

  • either 16×, 32×, or 34× Standard Pack Ultra Rare tokens (depending on the Onyx Set option you selected) of your choice from either the 2025 or 2024 print runs--mix & match as you like
  • Ring of the 2nd Circle--the 4th part in a 5-year story arc token! Transmuting all 5 Rings grants your character a special power and grants you access to Ring Con.
  • 1× über-rare Path to Enlightenment (Fragment 3)

*There are a limited number of Golden Tickets available. Once the last Golden Ticket has gone out, they will no longer be included in any size order. This will probably happen without notice. Please keep this in mind when placing your order, especially if you place your order late in the season.

Note on Tweaking Orders: If you are placing an $8k order but you wish to tweak the denominations of what items who receive (e.g., sixteen 3× and two 1× Treasure Chips instead of five 10× Treasure Chips), we can generally accommodate your request. In most cases a tweak won't be a problem, and you can put those notes in the Comment box when you place an order. However, please email us before you place the order--just to make sure what you are requesting is doable. So long as it is not something crazy, it should not be an issue. Please email store followed by a symbol that looks like a lowercase a in a circle followed by truedungeon.com. (Sorry for the cryptic instructions, but spammers are quite a nuisance and we need to do what we can to make their lives more difficult.)
