TOPIC: Looking to buy some rare tokens for Gen Con.

I'd do those 4 for $20 total. The prices I keep seeing for the earcuff seem pretty outrageous to me.

For those not familiar with the Wednesday token trading area, the address to find the location is 198 S. Capital Ave. Enter through the glass doors and take a right, you won't be able to miss it!

It goes on pretty much all afternoon.

See below for a map and image of where to go if interested.

I'll take them.

Cool ill be in the trade area on Wednesday. Send your phone number via pm and we can arrange a meeting

Added a few more tokens to my barbarian. I would really appreciate any suggestions on what else I should pick up at the trade event next Wednesday, in order to make my barbarian even more bad-ass!

Thank you all!

as a barbarian i would go with bracers of fire/cold/lightning over Tyr's Bracers.

Charm of Health
Fiendish, Vicious or Wicked Charm

IS Beryl Prism

You should be able to get any of them for $5 or less each.

I should get all 3 of those?

Also, why is Ioun Stone Onyx Sphere so expensive for a rare token?

Wicked Charm is good if your STR is odd. Only the even values give you a stat bump in TD.

Fiendish is good. Barbarians can usually manage the HP loss since they are the highest base HP.

Ioun Stone Onyx Sphere is a volunteer-only rare, that is why it is so expensive.

Ring of Brilliance is an excellent option for Barbarian. It is around $20 but in terms of power it is as good as an Ultra Rare.

You might also want to consider using the +1 Bliss Berserker Axe for your weapon. The N2 and N3 dungeons this year are in the bliss so you would get the extra +3 damage.

Thank you for the info. What are N2 and N3 dungeons? Sorry, I'm a noob.

No worries The dungeons at Gen Con are:

N1 – Astral Journey to the Bliss
N2 – Odin’s Haven
N3 – Vault of the All-Father
Into the Viper's Pit (retro dungeon sealed pack run)

Got it, thanks.

You've gotten a lot of really good suggestions. Because your Reflex and Will saves (9/3/2) are pretty low, you might want to consider the +2 Cloak of Resistance (+2 to all saves, about $6) over the Cloak of Many Pockets. That's also why the IS Beryl Prism (+1 to all saves, about $4.50) is a good idea. Other good IS would be Agate Orb (+1 when healed by spell/scroll, $2.50), Faceted Amber (-2 spell/missile damage, $8), and Norse Opal (+1 HP, $1.35).

Agree with the suggestion for the +1 Bliss Berserker Axe. The damage wheel is a hair lower than the +1 Drow Darkspike (6.5 vs. 6.6), but since we're in Bliss this year, the +3 damage more than makes up for it. Same with the suggestion to switch to Bracers of Lightning or similar--the +2 damage is handy. They're about $3.

If your STR number stays odd after any other changes you make, you might want to consider the Bliss Bull Helm (+1 STR, $1.70) over the one you have. You lose +1 AC and +3 to your Fort saves, but your AC is ok and Fort saves is your highest, and the +1 STR would give you an even number, adding +1 to melee hit/damage.

I'd switch the Earcuff of Understanding to either Darkling (+1 Reflex Save, $1.75) or Intellect (+1 Will Save, $4.95).

Since your Lenses let you see invisible monsters, you should probably also get the Bead of Whole Vision (no 50% miss chance when attacking incorporeal monsters, $0.74).

For the Shins slot, Darkguard Greaves are about $5 and are -2 Darkrift damage.

A Decay Runestone (+1 acid damage w/ melee weapons, $1.33) is always nice for Barbarians. Remember that Runestones are turned in at the start of each run, so if you're doing more than one, you should pick up one for each.

Finally, if you are up for spending ~$10 for a token, a Charm of Health (+2 HP) is a good value.

As mentioned above, there are a couple of websites that should be able to get you as many of these as you like for delivery at GenCon, and/or you may be able to pick some up for reasonable prices in the trading area. Good luck!
