The veil over the new legendary token Totem of Heroism has just been removed! It's a slotless level-booster. (As always, +level effects never stack.) To create a Token of Heroism, you need to submit all 40 of the tinkering ingredient tokens that can only be found in treasure generators. No other ingredients are required. Each ingredient is numbered to help you more easily track which one(s) you still need. You'll be able to order a Totem of Heroism via the Token Exchange Program soon now.

These special ingredients can be acquired in treasure pulled at in-person events or by mail. Both methods have the same odds of pulling one of these tinkering ingredients.

If you don't want to try to acquire all 40 ingredients and don't want to trade/sell them to other players, don't worry. As indicated by the "GF" at the top of those tokens as well as the stat block on their TDb entry, each one counts as one unit toward a Golden Fleece.

We hope everybody enjoys the new additions to the generator mix. We wanted pulling a platinum to be exciting again. We also hope these tokens stimulate trading among players.


Since this is a Legendary Token in addition to the +1 Level would it be unreasonable to ask for it to also provide something like +1 AC, or maybe a few hit points? Or maybe +1 AC/+1 hp? My reasoning behind this is that a small in game benefit would make this Token appeal to the entire player base. A slotless +1 level bump is fitting for a Legendary but it provides no benefit for those already at 5th level with a 2+ piece Eldritch set. A very slight in game benefit might have a big effect on this Token's demand which in turn could cause more people to chase treasure pulls ultimately leading to more people going on runs. And more runs is always a good thing for TD. #waitingforapotentialdreamcrush... :whistle:


It's definitely too late to change the text on the token to add any additional bonuses, since it is orderable now.

Consider that dream crushed.
Have you looked it up in the TDb ?
Please post TDb corrections in this thread .

So this might be an unpopular opinion, but I would love to see the resources to build this token added to the treasure mix regularly. My reason being new players have such a grind to get tokens that can advance them to character level 5, let alone an Orange token. Having this be a legendary that new players can constantly trade and work towards year over year I think will help encourage and retain new players.

This may be a topic for another thread, but I figured I would throw the thought out there.

I think it a viable discussion in another thread, just my 2 cents.

It is a good thought as the URs for Legendary tokens tend to be in print for more than 1 year. Having one year to get 40 different treasure tokens could be rough for all but dedicated players that may not even need a level booster. We'll have to see the frequency of those 40 tokens being pulled over the next few months to get an idea of how many runs someone would need to collect them.

I figure even most players that do multiple runs per year with max TE tokens will likely have to do some trading to get a complete set. This seems more like a Legendary that people will have to do a lot of trading/buying to complete than one that most people will be able to complete from their treasure pulls. Which is great for the community.

Since this is a 40 token set - it would be great to have a new Lore Token type subset of tokens. That 40 token set was great to get the whole community working together to solve. Although if there were a new Lore set, it would be great if they could also be transmuted into something, instead of being useless once the puzzle was solved.

Have 40 lore tokens go into making a Folio that doesn't have to be turned in but acts as a slotless buff of some sort, maybe +2 to a stat of the user's choice.

Thanks, this sounds like a fun chase. Hopefully it will be "in the mix" long enough for a good number of them to get out there.

LOL yeah.

The orbs were tougher - need 8 for the collection to not turn in, 8 to turn in, and another 5 to turn in.
