TOPIC: The next "4C" Transmute (coming in 2026)

Start hoarding your monster trophies!

In 2026, we're going to release the next "4C" transmuted token. At this time, we're not revealing what it does, nor its final recipe. We're just letting you know one is coming so you can plan accordingly.

The power of the token will be approximately Relic-level. At a minimum, the recipe is going to require one each of every monster trophy from 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026, plus a "base item" from 2026.

Slight change of plans. To go with the Ring Con theme, the current concept is a souped-up version of a Glory item. The tentative name is Earcuff of Greater Glory. I'm not going to tell you what slot it goes in, but clever folks may be able to figure it out. As you know, Charm of Glory, Gloves of Glory, and Hand of Glory do not stack with each other. The Earcuff of Greater Glory won't stack with them either, but the EoGG by itself will allow you to equip up to 4 rings.

So 2022 monster bits are also out on the pile with 2020 & 2021...

Monster bit and fleece prices are basically in freefall already. I am struggling to see how not including 2022 bits in the next 4C is a well-considered decision....

I would strongly agree.

The decision not to include 2020 and 2021 was due to the lack of in person events, specifically GenCon.
Since GC took place, I'd really hope to get this to include 2022.

This is super helpful, thank you!

I was also hoping 2022 trophies would be included in a 4C token. Since VTD started I’ve been slowly accumulating trophies and I’m not sure what to do with them. I only get 1-3 tickets most weekends! It seems that now I’ll have a small hoard of Golden Fleece.

So this wasn’t exactly the answer I was hoping for, but I do appreciate an answer.

And I STILL think letting 20 and 21 be in a recipe, even as a sub in option, would be a good show of faith for folks that supported during the panini....but I know that battle is probably lost. 22 would be a small win.

see revised first post

I concur that 2022 should be included.

If 2022 is not part of the 4C recipe I can accept it but no changing the recipe ingredients to include 2022 in 2023-2026.

So, a largish Earcuff with 2 fingers hanging off of it. Fascinating visual.

Likely many 2022 monster bits will be used for the new treasure map.

They could or they could have used gold. Regardless, I just do not want everyone to transmute their 2022 and then have the recipe change in the future.
