TOPIC: Treasure box Amulet transmute

In the treasure spreadsheet thread, Jedibcg mentioned that someday there might be a transmute for the treasure box amulet’s. I love the thought of this on - even if it just transmitted to an amulet with +3 saves and left off the situational effects, it would still be really cool to be able to do something with these amulets.

I don’t suppose there has been any clue anywhere that a transmute may happen with treasure box only gear?

No hints that I know of. The community thoerized there might be a tranmute for the greaves as well, but we haven’t heard anything to support that theory to my knowledge. To be clear I said it might be required in a future transmute, not necessarily a necklace treausre box only transmute. it could be an indregrient in any transmute.

I would be very upset if a transmute recipe showed up using a token no longer found in treasure boxes (2019 greaves or amulet) without at least first a hint from TPTB that it may be worth holding onto or trying to get.

I usually dump my excess items like greaves if they aren’t being equipped within my party.

I think enough people share this opinion that this is the reason neither the amulets nor the greaves will ever have a transmute of prior tokens.

FWIW, if I'm wrong, you can have one of my extras.

If it ended up being a recipe that was set up similarly to the reaver recipe along the lines of: "Three different rare treasure box amulets (list of amulets)", that might be a decent way to go about things, so people who have been hanging onto them can use them while people who didn't hang onto them aren't SOL.

Historically I believe that these kind of transmutes are not announced ahead of time. I believe that the Medallion of Greyhawk was the first transmute that used monster bits from several years. after that everyone expected another such transmute and saved bits. then the same thing happened with completion tokens, now why not treasure box only tokens.

I think there was a lot of pushback on recipes using out of print tokens. IIRC, when Trade Item tokens were introduced, Jeff said that recipes wouldn't use out of print tokens (except I guess monster ingredient tokens for storyline tokens) so that people wouldn't have to hold onto a few of everything. I also recall that the Completion Token recipe for Ring of Heroism was announced ahead of time.

I would be thrilled with a 2 recipe transmute for a high resists amulet. One cheap one using multiple unique box amulets and one more expensive that uses only the in print one.

I think it would be cool to use older completion tokens and treasure box only tokens in a transmute. Similarly to the way monster bits that are no longer available are used every some many years or an alternative UR as was used for the Paladin relic/legendary or Bead of the Lucky Traveler..

Cost could use a sliding scale to rewards those that have save the older tokens.

I'd be ok with a greaves transmute. I suspect a lot of people keep dents of everything that crosses their desk just in case. I would t make it very powerful though, greaves could be something as simple as -2 all damage types of greeves used make it. Something neat but not punishing if you didnt know it was coming. Same for TB only necks.

As an option in a recipe, fine. As the only option, no.

Having said that, I do keep my completion tokens “just in case.”

Just to be clear we aren't talking about completion tokens. A recipe require certain completion tokens I would be against because there are so many different cons these day to acquire completion tokens at. TBO tokens though are the same ones for every con of a given season, so though I am not for a TBO transmute I would not be against one either. Or again an transmute that required the previous year's. I do understand that some would not like that but I don't think that is enough to sway Jeff if he wanted to do one. Some people are against reprints but we have had them for awhile now.

If there were ever a TBO transmute involving past years. I am sure you could find a fair amount of past greaves and amulets for $5 or less.

Though there could be something as simple as requiring X number of different greaves from years Y to Z (similar to the Ring of Heroism). So anyone that held onto them would have them, but if you didn't then you could start holding on to them to get the X of them for the transmute.
