TOPIC: All the Final 2026 Token Images!

Thank you all for helping me get to this final point. Your aid was very much needed and appreciated. Below are links to the final images that will be sent to the printer. Note that the Path of Enlightenment Fragment 4 is being done -- but on another sheet not shown here.

Just a couple of questions on the Ring and the Mark of Enlightenment.

For the transmutable ring, is that the first melee attack that hits or the attack the owner chooses for the effect to apply to?

On the Mark of Enlightenment, I've noticed that most of these major tokens are usually versatile, yet this one, with only a +5 Fire Damage to melee, seems limited. Is there another option for range players or is this it? It doesn't affect me as I could never afford that level, but I can't help but be curious.

Nevermind on the Mark, just saw the other post

For the Vampire Rings? It is up to the wearer to decide when to heal the hp.

Thanks! Great job on the tokens! I am disappointed to see the UR Belt back up to +5 St, it should not be equal to a Relic with the Set bonus. Even just looking at the UR level, +5 St -2 Will is significantly better than the +3 St Girdle of Hill Giant St.

I agree. +5 Str, -3 Will would be better.

That is true, although it would still result in the UR equaling the Girdle of Frost Giant St Relic with the Set bonus. I think the earlier +4 St -2 Will was appropriate. If for some reason that didn't seem like enough, it would be better at +4 St -1 Will so that with the set bonus it would still be worse than the Relic, while a full point better than the UR.

Since we are still discussing URs, the previous version of the cloak and FOP and their transmute path would help the most players and classes.

I think every time it got changed one way or the other, there were people who felt it had gone in the wrong direction.

Let's take a look at what an UR waist slot STR-boosting item could reasonably be expected to look like.

At Ultra Rare, the most recent and closest example is Girdle of Stone Giant Strength (though even that is from 2018), which grants +4 STR and -1 DEX. A melee build will care little or not at all about the DEX penalty - if they equip no other DEX tokens it drops the stat down to an even number and has no penalty at all, or if they do have an odd-numbered DEX bonus from elsewhere for some reason then the worst case is they lose 1 point in REF saves and AC (which is either ignored in favor of getting those bonuses from places other than DEX or easily regained by equipping a token with an odd-numbered DEX bonus and a useful secondary ability, e.g. Lenses of the Fae, Ioun Stone Stalker's Orb, Stalker Bead of Skill, etc - or just switching out the other token granting the odd-numbered DEX bonus).

A proposed token which grants +4 STR and -2 to Will saves is weaker than the above, -2 to Will saves has a bigger and more relevant impact on a melee build than -1 DEX.

I'd go with either +4 STR and -1 to will saves or +5 STR and -2 to Will saves, both of which I've suggested previously. Either works, but I imagine it'd be a bit odd to have just one of the Accursed URs granting -1 to saves instead of -2.

We also need to consider the power level of recent tokens. I don't like power creep any more than anyone else does, but this still needs to be at least as good as Belt of the Brave (which is stronger than a R should be, but not stronger than an UR should be) and ideally on a comparable level to recent non-melee UR waist slot items. Belt of the Deadshot and Belt of the Hunter both give benefits to Ranged builds which are very comparable to +5 STR, and without any downside.

The Accursed Set bonus can also be considered, but since it involves equipping a STR bonus in the waist slot and a DEX bonus in the back slot it is already less than efficient to equip, so I don't think it has much impact on the overall power level of the token.

It is very interesting to me how some try to push the power level of all tokens up, some try to reduce, and some try to push some while reducing others.

I'd prefer a +2 Assassin's Crossbow reprint, despite owning one myself. Howecer, I'd say it's pretty clear that ship, like Gloves of the Flying Fist, has sailed.

Asking for wholesale changes at this point too seems pointless.

I like the set, and I think it's going to go well for TD.

I do hope the previously discussed Enlightenment power has some changes to it, or at least is insight plus. I hope I'm never in a position where I'd prefer insight to Enlightenment.

I guess I still disagree on saying a +5 St -2 Will belt is equivalent to existing Belt Strength Items.

Compared to the Girdle of Hill Giant Strength, this belt is+2 ST and -2 Will. To me, on a Strength belt, that makes the new one significantly better.

Compared to the Belt of Stone Giant Strength, this belt is +1 St +1 Dex -2 Will. Again, I think that makes this belt significantly better than the Belt of Stone Giant Strength. I don't agree that if the new belt is +4 St -2 Will that is definitely worse than +4 St -1 Dex, as the -1 Dex could drop the AC and Reflex saves by one. That is just as impactful as -2 Will.

And, when you add in the set bonus, that makes this belt a straight +5 Strength, waaaaay better than either the Girdle of Hill or Stone Giant, and it is exactly the same as the Relic Girdle of Frost Giant Strength. That is just too powerful for a UR.

That's fair, I respect your views as an experienced player and think that as you say we just disagree on this one based on how we each value the penalty to Will saves.

This is certainly one of the best - possibly the best - UR melee belts in the game, though that was always going to be likely for any new UR belt with the existing ones being as old as they are.

My view is I'd run Girdle of Stone Giant Strength or Belt of the Brave over this depending on whether my STR and/or DEX were at odd and even values, so in my mind there's not a wide gap in power level between the two. If it turns out I am undervaluing it, with better options available at higher rarity levels at least it's not going to break the game if it does turn out to be the clear best UR melee belt.

There actually isn't a better option at the next higher rarity level. With the set bonus, it is identical to the Relic.
