TOPIC: Special Option: Condensed Treasure for Jan VTD!

Introducing Condensed Treasure

We here at TD HQ have been trying to think of ways to streamline the transmuting process so it reduces waste and transmuting headaches. So, we would like to present to you the option of Condensed Treasure! This is an experiment we will be running this Spring VTD season to see:

1) How well received and widely used it would be by you all.
2) To see how this changes our logistics in practice. If both of these factors turn out well, we will consider making this a permanent option.

Sorry, at least for this first trial in January, this option is only available to those playing VTD AND with Max Treasure (27 Pulls). This limitation helps us keep the logistics simple for this experiment. We apologize to anyone who is interested in this but unable to use it due to this restriction. If Condensed Treasure experiment goes well in January, we might expand it out to allow more folks access.

What is Condensed Treasure?

Condensed Treasure is similar in design to Super Condensed Token Packs. We transmute the Uncommon and Rare tokens you would have drawn into their respective Trade Goods. With the help of some TD Forumites (Impy and Kirk) we have carefully run the math to insure the proper 2026 ratios are used.

The Condensed Treasure Mix is calculated that each Condensed Treasure Pull is worth 2.876 Standard Treasure Pulls. This means that 10 Condensed Treasure is worth 28.76 Normal Treasure Pulls.

For example, if over the course of the year you amassed 1000 Condensed Treasure Pulls you will have received an identical number of Monster Bits, Chase Tokens, URs, Relics, Legendaries, and other items as someone who had 2876 Treasure Pulls, along with an identical number of trade goods equal to if you had sent in every single Standard Pack Uncommon and Rare for Mulching at the end of the year.

The Trade Good portion of the treasure mix is made in an identical ratio of this year's Uncommons and Rares Trade Good value. Thus, the trade goods you receive will be identical in proportion of each trade good to as if you had been sending in the Standard Pack Uncommons and Rares from the Treasure Mix for mulching.

This is all to say this mix is calculated in such a way there should be ZERO % dilution in treasure value when compared to the normal mix.

How Does It Work?

If you use Condensed Treasure and you are eligible for 27 treasure draws, you'll elect to "condense" your 27 Standard Treasure Pulls into 10 Condensed Treasure Pulls. You will do this during your VTD Epilogue after your adventure. Again, only players who get make the maximum treasure of 27 are eligible for this option. In January at least, you cannot combine earned Treasure Chips from two or three VTD adventures to obtain this 27 total.

Note: You will effectively be getting 1.76 bonus token draws for using this option as our calculations show that it would normally take 28.76 Treasure Chips to earn 10 Condensed Treasure draws. The stack of 10 Condensed Treasure will arrive shrink-wrapped in a colored sleeve of 10 tokens.

This is a thank you for helping us to reduce waste and transmuting work at TD HQ. We can better use this time to make more adventures for you.
