If I ruled the world, there would be five- and eight-piece set bonuses instead. It should require less cream in sharing the orbs if everyone got to hang onto one, versus one person gaining them all.
If the transmutes were expected to have a cost beyond the Orbs a la RoSP, then how about this modified suggestion: Diadem of Dragonkind - recipe TBD. Required to claim the Five-Orb set bonus. (Note it doesn't grant the bonus. You must equip five different orbs PLUS the Diadem in order to get the bonus. Whatever it is.)
With the estimated two-dozenish Orbs in existence, I really, really don't like the idea of smelting them. That was the thing I hated most about the RoSP. I made one and really, really wanted to keep the segments for the second, but it made zero sense not to.
I am really curious where people are coming up with this two dozen orbs in existence? It might be correct but also seems like it came out of no where.
Lazio, Kirk and Dennis's reasoning which is really sound. Number is more like 28-35

Two might be pretty ambitious. My guess is that there are fewer than 25 of the first orbs out there excluding whatever goes into the GenCon treasure box (wonder if that will be the first orb or the second?).
Lazlo sold one on eBay and I sold one on the forums for about $500-$550 (IIRC). I do have more but am not really motivated to sell them at that price, I'm debating just waiting until the details are revealed before selling any more.
Dennis also sold one on eBay in that range as well
Correct on the Ebay auction. I have to agree with Kirk's estimate of 25 (but maybe closer to 30-ish?) Keep in mind that fewer $8K orders got filled, in general. Alot of customers get $1K, $2K or $4K orders for themselves, preferring not to deal with stores (or combine with others.) Some customers want to financially support True Dungeon, but on their own terms or have difficulty trusting others.
With a few "singleton" $8K orders, here is how I'd guess (estimate)
Laz: eight 2015 Orbs,
Kirk: six 2015 Orbs,
Matt: six 2015 Orbs,
me: four 2015 Orbs,
Singles: six 2015 Orbs.
But it is an "educated" guess. [per Dennis]
