TOPIC: 2024 Participation and Volunteer Token Images < Part Three

Made some big changes to the volunteer tokens! We tweaked all the Psychic tokens to 7th Tier (was 6th Tier). See FAQ for more info on Skull stacking.

Bravo on the volunteer tokens. Much more desirable

I personally love the Vol tokens now, especially the flavor of the Ankh! Assuming these go to print, I'll be excited to get them by volunteering more ^^ Thanks Jeff for making the changes!

Any reason the bead doesn't add +1 level of psychic like all the other vtd completion tokens?

I'm excited to see vol items as part of sets. That just seems fun.

Love the ring getting level 7 and the interaction with the skull. Huge win.

The ancients set now has 6 items (5 at a time possible) a 4 set bonus could be nice.

Jeff, great job on the slotless UR Volunteer token. I'd encourage you to do more slotless UR Volunteer tokens, since everyone can use them Volunteers shouldn't have any trouble finding buyers if they don't want to use them themselves.

I think all the vol tokens are great honestly. They are definitely on the power of previous vol URs and I can see many people wanting them.

I will try one more time to bring up my volunteer relic idea though, because I personally like the system a lot and thinks it gives more design space.

Volunteer UR Relic Transmute System
I suggest changing the volunteer reward structure by dropping the volunteer rare entire and doing the following:

Full time gets you
1x Vol UR
1x PYP

Part time gets you:
1x PYP

3x Fulltime shifts gets you:
1x In Print Relic (That is not the Volunteer or other special Relic) or perhaps 1x Omni Cube
+ Now you have enough vol URs to make the relic!

Yes, I am back to wishing for the volunteer relic system to make a come back, it seems like a wonderful benefit.

This years items could very easily be:

Bead of the Stalwart - UR on Onyx Back
+2 STR +1 CON

Bead of the Deft - UR on Onyx Back
+2 DEX +1 CON

Bead of the Champion - Relic
+2 STR +2 DEX +2 CON
Crafted from the two vol UR Beads

Iounstone Sunstone Sphere - UR on Onyx Back
+5 HP

Iounstone Moonstone of the Ancients - UR on Onyx Back
+ Ancients Set Piece

Ankh of the Ancients - Relic
Slotless
+4 HP
Ancients Set Piece
Crafted from the two UR Vol Iounstones

An added bonus of this system is it gives volunteers a very high incentive to keep coming back to volunteer multiple times, and should help with volunteer rewards depreciating as the year goes on as there are more desired tokens to collect. Could even be released in quarters or something similar

Addtionally, this clears up confusion within the UR power level, as now volunteer URs can just be normal UR power and be made into their current UR+/relic power level.

Huge changes on the vol tokens, they went from 'ehhh" to "oooh!" I would encourage using the volunteer space for slotless tokens more often. Great way to limit their quantity and help the vols get more money from us heathens. Great bead, too. The martial players are going to enjoy it.

Could the TE work with Rare TEs, to give them a total of +3? That would put it in-line with the Charm of Treasure Boosting from 2019 (which is +1, but works with URs for a total of 3). The previous one took four monster bits, which I feel is honestly easier than acquiring 6 in-person completion tokens, so it feels bad for it to provide a little less overall benefit for players who are starting to work on Hardcore/Nightmare builds

I really like the Purple Volunteer Ankh, with the slotless option for getting one of three items for a set bonus. That creates some interesting options in selecting the other pieces.

Last round I thought the Vol purple tokens were too weak, and I feel like the current purple Bead may have slid to far in the other direction? +2 to 2 stats would seem fair in my opinion. Hard to say for sure, as we will see some changes to the Bead slot over time, and more Bead TE.

I really like the way the completion tokens stack, and have transmute paths.

The reason is not a good one...a mistake. Sorry....fixed!

We had something similar a few years ago, but it caused some confusion. I think it is best to keep it simple.
