Hi!

I understand that you originally decided to rack up the prices of trinkets in the Token vendor store because people were essentially spending tokens on simply buying them and vendoring them for a quick crown boost.

While raising the cost in terms of tokens is a great way to keep the trinkets out of players' hands for this very purpose, it is unfortunately also a great way to keep the trinkets out of players' hands... period. There's really no great reason right now for anyone to spend all the time and effort it would take to get, say, 200 Grim Sparks so that they can put on two Dread Skelly Charms, or some other similar situation of the sort.

If you must make a fix of the situation, then simply make obtainable trinkets cheaper. Alternatively, adjust the prices on certain trinkets according to how valuable certain tokens are (Primal Sparks are everywhere, it's okay for those trinkets to be more expensive -- Grim Sparks and Forge Sparks, not so much).

Another, smaller complaint is that Grim Sparks and Forge Tokens are way, way more rare than Primal Sparks, and a good reason for that is that Primal Sparks happen very often when attacking the Jelly King, while the other two token types occur very, very rarely -- and are not quite so desirable to farm, as they do not occur in areas with bosses.

Food for thought.

Well actually, I think you

Well actually, I think you can get Grim Sparks in Firestorm Citadel, which does house a boss (Lord Vanaduke).

But Primal Sparks are only rare because people keep making beast stratums.
If you kept making Undead or even Construct Stratums constantly, you'd see a huge amount of Grim and Forge Sparks.

Maybe. But think of it this

Maybe. But think of it this way: trying to get everyone coordinated to make a lot of undead, fiend and construct stratums is very, very difficult. (VERY difficult. (SUPREMELY difficult. (ULTRA. ULTRAAAAAAAAAA. Difficult.))) (:D)

Grim Sparks don't drop often in Citadel. To top it off, you get Almirian Crests for beating up Vanaduke.

Vanaduke is also currently broken and doesn't work right. He's ridiculously difficult to kill because his boss battle is the only place in the game right now where you can die and not really have any chance to avoid your impending doom.

EDIT: I'm in an undead stratum. Primal Sparks YEAAAAAAAAAAAH http://nothingxs.net/inbound/uploads/primalspark.jpg

It's fine to have something

It's fine to have something to work towards, assuming the trinkets will still be as useful when you have enough tokens to buy them. Do you really need to have your character maxed out after two weeks?

Considering that there's

Considering that there's still a lot more content to be added, I'd say that whether my character is "maxed out" or not has nothing to do with what I'm saying here, which is that the token price of trinkets is much too high.

A bump, because it bears repeating / looking at.
