BUMP! Only two spots remaining!

FYI - To potentially interested players, we will be able to help gear up newer players so if you do not have a lot of tokens don't worry, the group can help you.

PM sent.

The circle is complete! Thanks to everyone for joining in. Let's talk some strategy. Mike and I have really beefed-up our Rogue and Fighter builds so we are set and Jake said he has extra CoGF to help us max-out on treasure. (How many extras do you have, Jake?)

Anyone see any tokens that might relate to overcoming obstacles? There is a new Ioun Stone that helps with mazes but I haven't seen anything that might relate to this one. Post your thoughts.

I'm working on filling out Rare gear for my Paladin build (Defender set, Ogre belt/gloves, +1 weapons, etc.) and I will gladly take any recommendations on specific tokens. Is the expectation to be 5th level?

Not going to lie, I'm a little intimidated being in a group of more experienced players. My token collection is decent but not large, and I haven't really traded/transmuted in the past. I don't have a CoA or CoGF. I also don't want to be dead weight or a drain on the team by overly borrowing tokens. So if you have suggestions on how to acquire the "good stuff" without breaking the bank, I'd really appreciate it.

No worries, man. We were all there at one point or another. In fact, I played for seven or eight years without paying attention to tokens at all. Post your build and we'll give you some pointers. Mike is particularly good about spotting easy ways to improve your points.

Welcome aboard! Just an FYI - 3 other players in this group will be second time players, they played last year for the first time. Don't feel intimidated at all, I helped "Red" them all out with solid gear.

Besides the Defender Set and Ogre gloves I recommend the following 2017 tokens: Bracers of Lighting, Shirt of Vitality and Beryl Prism Ioun Stone you can find them on the forum from TD tavern really cheap, check out his token store here on the site.

I will be bringing a lot of nice tokens to help the group with, I will also be selling some of that gear for TD gold. If you pull gold for your treasure pulls I would happily trade for some good tokens that will not break your bank at all lol. I have the Boots of the Marauder (+2 Dex and immunity to hold), Exalted Creeper Amulet +4 to Dex ) and the Belt of Blessed Constitution (+2 Con) and other nice gear for mid tier players. Pardon the info commercial, I am saving up 40k in gold to buy my Legendary armor...I am also true to the Rogue hawking stuff and gold greedy......

Get the TD character generator app this will give you a bonus +1 to HP. It's only $2.

Thanks for the suggestions!

The full Defender set bonus will give me another +1 AC and immunity to hold, slow, etc. (At least according to the token database)
