I'm new to the game, just got it a few days ago, and I want to know to use tokens. I went to the token trader, and wanted to buy some gel cores, and it said I didn't have enough tokens. I don't get it. They only cost 2 tokens, and I have a lot.
Types of tokens I have are:
Forge Sparks: 4
Primal Sparks: 1
Grim Sparks: 2
Furmious Fangs: 10
Krogmo Coins: 15
I know Krogmo coins can't be used at token traders, but as for the other tokens, I don't know. I would love some help with this.
It's not the number of tokens, it's what kind of tokens you have. Gel Cores I believe require Primal Sparks, which is why you can't buy them. You only have 1 and you need 2.
Gel Cores require two Primal Sparks, and based on the information you provided, you currently have only one Primal Spark. Make sure to check the specific token needed to purchase the material or trinket you are wanting to buy since you cannot mix and match tokens.
Check out these two pages for more information regarding tokens and Brinks the token trader:

it's not 2 Tokens total, it's 2 Primal Sparks, which you only have 1 one.
Everything requires specific ones to buy equipment.
An example is that I can't buy Quicksilver Mail with Primal Sparks, I have to use their specific tokens.
If it was universal, everyone would be running around with Ancient Plate Sets and Fang of Vogs.
